Peak Design’s iPhone tripod is a solid, well-designed aluminum frame that folds into a credit card-sized shape, offering premium build design and quality with a tiny hex key built into the tripod legs for tightening if necessary. The micro-ball head allows for easy adjustment of the iPhone’s angle in tripod mode, and it can magnetically attach to the phone in both vertical and horizontal orientations, serving as a sturdy stand even when not in use for photography or videography. While a Peak Design case is not necessary for functionality, it does provide a more secure connection, especially for MagSafe iPhones. Alternatives like Moft’s Snap-On Stand and Wallet, Anker’s MagGo phone grip, and PopSockets offer convenience but may not hold up as well when subjected to force, unlike Peak Design’s durable and versatile tripod that does not require a specific case for optimal use.
