Peak Design\u2019s iPhone tripod<\/a> is a solid, well-designed aluminum frame that folds into a credit card-sized shape. You\u2019re paying a premium for the build design and quality, with a tiny hex key even built into the tripod legs for tightening them, if needed.<\/p>\n With a solid micro-ball head, you can adjust the angle of your iPhone while it\u2019s in tripod mode. Better still, it can firmly attach, magnetically, to the phone in both vertical and horizontal orientations. This makes it an excellent stand for your phone even when you\u2019re not trying to shoot video or photos.<\/p>\n You also don\u2019t need to shell out for a Peak Design case to ensure it works, although it does feel more solidly connected if you do. Any MagSafe iPhone locks onto the peripheral, maintaining a solid hold on this mobile tripod whether in use or folded away.<\/p>\n There are plenty of more affordable MagSafe phone stands, such as Moft\u2019s Snap-On Stand and Wallet<\/a>, which props up your iPhone while holding a few credit cards, Anker\u2019s MagGo phone grip<\/a>, and the now-ubiquitous PopSockets<\/a>. While MagSafe accessories like these are convenient, they won\u2019t be as sturdy as something securely snapped onto your smartphone or a smartphone case. All of the MagSafe stands, wallets, chargers, and other accessories I\u2019ve tried eventually fell off if I applied enough force. However, there\u2019s no sticky residue or the need to use a specific case with Peak Design\u2019s tripod. \u2014 Mat Smith, UK Bureau Chief<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
