Editorial take
Why we picked it
We've all been that person trying to prop our phone against a pint glass only for it to slide into a puddle of spilled lager. This Peak Design Mobile Tripod is the Supporting act that saves us from such indignities by being a proper piece of engineering that fits in your pocket.
It's machined from aluminium with a precision that makes most phone accessories feel like cheap plastic crackers toys. I've been snapping it onto the back of my phone just to feel that satisfying MagSafe "thwack" and pretending I'm a professional filmmaker.
It's a tiny, elegant solution for the "how do I take a group photo without a selfie stick" dilemma, making it essential for the minimalist shutterbug.
Detailed verdict
The full review
The Irresistible
- The micro-ballhead is butter-smooth, allowing you to angle your phone for the perfect shot without it sagging like a tired soufflé.
- It's so thin when folded that you can literally leave it on your phone and forget it exists until you need to capture a cinematic moment.
The Clever Part
- The vibration-dampening legs mean your time-lapse of the sunset won't look like it was filmed during an earthquake.
- It doubles as a very posh kickstand for watching videos on the train without getting "phone-claw" in your hand.
The Fine Print
- It's designed specifically for MagSafe or Peak's own cases, so if you're rocking an old-school Android without a magnetic ring, you're out of luck.
- The legs are a bit stiff out of the box; you'll need to put a bit of elbow grease into the first few setups before it relaxes.
The Reality Check
- It's so small and sleek that if you set it down on a dark table at the pub, there's a 40% chance you'll leave it behind and never see it again.
