Peak Design’s iPhone Tripod is a sturdy, well-designed aluminum frame that folds into a credit card-sized shape. You pay a premium for build design and quality, and there’s even a tiny hex wrench built into the tripod leg to tighten it when needed.
The sturdy micro ball head lets you adjust the angle of your iPhone when it’s in tripod mode. Even better, it magnetically attaches securely to your phone, both vertically and horizontally. This makes it a great stand for your phone, even if you don’t plan on taking videos or photos.
You also don’t need to spend money on a Peak Design case to make sure it works, although it does feel like a stronger connection if you do. Any MagSafe iPhone can be locked to the peripheral device and securely attached to this mobile tripod whether in use or folded up.
There are also plenty of more affordable MagSafe phone holders, such as Moft’s snap-on holder and wallet (which can support your iPhone while holding a few credit cards), Anker’s MagGo phone grip, and the now-ubiquitous PopSockets. While MagSafe accessories like these are convenient, they’re not as sturdy as something that securely snaps onto your smartphone or smartphone case. Every MagSafe holder, wallet, charger, and other accessory I’ve tried eventually falls off if I push hard enough. However, Peak Design’s tripod has no sticky residue and does not require the use of a specific protective case. —Matt Smith, UK Bureau Chief
