Peak Design’s iPhone Tripod is a sturdy, well-designed aluminum body that folds right into a credit score card-sized form. You pay a premium for construct design and high quality, and there is even a tiny hex wrench constructed into the tripod leg for tightening it when wanted.
The sturdy micro ball head permits you to regulate the angle of your iPhone when it is in tripod mode. Even higher, it magnetically attaches securely to your cellphone each vertically and horizontally. This makes it an awesome stand on your cellphone, even should you do not plan on taking movies or pictures.
You additionally need not spend cash on a Peak Design case to ensure it really works, though it does really feel like a stronger connection should you do. Any MagSafe iPhone might be locked to the peripheral machine and securely connected to this cell tripod whether or not in use or folded up.
There are additionally loads of extra reasonably priced MagSafe cellphone holders, comparable to Moft’s snap-on holder and pockets (which might assist your iPhone whereas holding a couple of bank cards), Anker’s MagGo cellphone grip, and the now-ubiquitous PopSockets. Whereas MagSafe equipment like these are handy, they don’t seem to be as sturdy as one thing that securely snaps onto your smartphone or smartphone case. Each MagSafe holder, pockets, charger, and different accent I’ve tried finally falls off if I push arduous sufficient. Nonetheless, Peak Design’s tripod has no sticky residue and doesn’t require using a selected protecting case. —Matt Smith, UK Bureau Chief
