Peak Design's tiny magnetic tripod has changed how I film and watch content on my phone

Peak Design's tiny magnetic Mobile Tripod accessory is an easy recommendation if you need to free up your hands for filming, photography, or simply watching long-form content.

Peak Design's tiny magnetic tripod has changed how I film and watch content on my phone

Six months ago, I acquired the Peak Design Mobile Tripod for my Pixel 8 Pro. The tiny magnetic tripod attaches to any MagSafe or Qi2 phone, though its grip is rather weak. To ensure a secure attachment, I also purchased the SlimLink mobile phone case, which fits neatly on the tripod. The tripod folds flat to just 0.8cm in thickness, making it easy to use in both vertical and horizontal orientations.

It's perfect for hands-free filming and photography, as well as watching videos on the go. The tripod is lightweight, adding only 2.7oz and 0.8cm in depth, so I rarely need to remove it. However, the magnet that holds the hex key that secures the tripod to the phone occasionally comes loose, though it can be easily fixed with super glue.

Overall, the Peak Design Mobile Tripod is a premium accessory that has become my go-to for filming, photography, and watching videos.
