GripTight ONE Micro

I love the design of this thing. It is satisfying to expand and collapse. It has a very nice and stable platform assuming you have a relatively flat and stable surface for it. The design of the cradle makes it nice for holding your phone vertically or horizontally, and when vertical, there is a cutout for the charging port to be plugged in on the bottom The only nitpick I have is that it can be a little too easy to start unscrewing the cradle from the base when you really just mean to rotate its orientation.

It's so cool and cute. Even my smallest phone tripod is a monster compared to the Joby. It's all metal and it can be tilted but not rotated. The phone holder comes off and you can put a smallish cam like an Insta360 or GoPro on it. Fits my S22U and S25U just fine but without so much pressure to set off the squeeze sensor. It folds down to almost nothing.

This mount is well made and tiny. It easily fits in my pocket and it similar in size to a car's key fob. It is easy to set up and it appears that the tripod section might unscrew so you might be able to attach the phone mount to a larger tripod as well, but I do not have a separate tripod to test it with. It holds both my old iPhone SE3 and my S22+ securely. My only real complaint is that it can only attach to the S22+ on one side due to the power and volume button placement. This makes it very easy for the little tripod to overbalance and tip over. It can be overcome by rotating the tripod legs so that one leg is under the overbalanced part of the phone, but it is a hassle.

When reading the reviews, I was not sure if this came with just the mini tripod or also the phone stand as the phone stand alone cost $12.99. Both of the them come in the kit and are very nicely packaged. In general, the stand is a nice aluminum and is very durable, while the plastic phone holder is made of a solid polymer with metal rods and springs. It grasp the phone very well, but it is not the most stable on un-even ground. This is holding an iPhone Xs, and you can see that there is room for a larger case as well. The arms on the back capable of expanding much more so I am positive that an iPhone Xs Max would fit. It works incredibly well for tables and desk, just know that it can not hold the phone in portrait orientation for FaceTime or anything. The thread on the mini tripod is standard size which will allow it to hold many other devices such as speakers, small cameras, and even larger ones. There is not enough friction in the ball joint to hold larger cameras though so it will try to lean if the lens is too heavy. All in all, I would definitely recommend purchasing this before they are sold out and lost with time. Nobody else makes anything this small and handy. It should also last a very long time with regular use. I would have purchased the tripod even if the phone holder did not come with it. I have been pleasantly surprised by the usefulness of this stand.

These pack down very small and are very easy to take around. I own a few of them and keep one in my laptop bag and one in my camera bag. They work great as small tripods. An additional feature that is really nice is that the top half (that holds the phone) can be unscrewed and can then screw onto a traditional tripod. The compactness and the ability to attach to a full tripod are why I keep coming back to this one. Currently using with an iPhone 12 Pro.

I was shopping for a low priced phone clamp and a micro tripod for my camera. I ended up with a single package that does both. I am tickled by how small this tripod is and when paired with the GripTight clamp it is just amazing. The package is an incredibly well thought out design. Tripod- It folds up smaller than my car key or my pocket knife. I have attached it to my point and shoot camera and just left it on. When folded it almost disappears into the camera body. I bought it for my GoPro, but it is sturdy enough to hold a much bigger camera. The 36 degrees of tilt, allows you to find a surface close to the angle of the shot you want and then use the tilt to align the frame. The rubber coating keeps the feet from sliding. GripTight Phone holder- Folds up tiny. Holds my iPhone 8+ with its case easily. When paired with the tripod it is pretty awesome, but it also fits my Gorilla pod. If you are trying to minimize the size of the photo/video gear you are carrying. This $20 package goes a long way.

I have a Galaxy s23 ultra and just needed a phone stand to hold the phone up so I can watch movies and play games on it without having to hold it all the time. I didn't think much of features and capability. The positives is this stand is small, compact and feel like it's made of high quality material. There's some weight to to it considering it's small size and doesn't feel cheap at all. Which is good, because you do need that counterweight for it to balance the phone. It's also very compact and folds up small and flat. I forget that it's even there when I put in my pocket. The problem with this thing though is that it's very limited in terms viewing angle. You can adjust the angle by only a few degrees up or down. Seems like it doesn't go higher than a 30 degree angle. You'd have to place the stand further away from you to actually get a good viewing angle. On a desk or table it's ok. But if space is limited, this becomes a real problem. For me, this stand is almost unsable if I'm sitting on the backseat of a car or on plane. You also can't flip the phone to stand in portrait view. You're stuck on a landscape viewing only.

I have been using this for a few years now, it is great for hikes, rock climbing, biking and more. Its so funny when you get it out of your pocket and people see you use it its just surprising. I have bought two since one got lost.
