Overview
A magnetic phone tripod with a seven-section aluminum rod that extends to 64 inches, an N52 magnet rated for 6.6 lbs of hold, and a detachable Bluetooth remote that stores on the leg. Folds to 12 inches and weighs 13 ounces for travel.
MagSafe iPhones, 12 through 17 Pro Max, plus Pixel 10 Pro, attach directly to the magnet; Android phones and non-MagSafe cases use the included metal rings instead. The tilt head moves through 210 degrees, which covers portrait, landscape and low angles but stops short of a straight overhead or full horizontal shot, something several buyers ran into when trying to film food prep from directly above.
- N52 magnet rated for 6.6 lbs of holding force
- Extends to 64 inches, folds to 12 inches, weighs 13 ounces
- 210 degree tilt for portrait, landscape and low angles
- Detachable Bluetooth remote stored on the tripod leg
Who it's for
Travelers, gym-goers and casual content creators who want a compact, magnetic tripod that packs small and sets up fast. Less suited to anyone who needs a rock-steady full height pole or an overhead camera angle.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers consistently praise how securely the magnet holds the phone and how compact the tripod folds for travel, with several calling out the detachable Bluetooth remote as reliable and convenient. The recurring complaint is wobble once the pole is extended past roughly 1.5 feet, made worse by walking past it or tapping the phone's own record button, and a few buyers wanted a straight overhead angle for cooking or food-prep videos that the 210 degree tilt head can't reach.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Magnet holds the phone securely through normal use, per multiple reviewers
- Folds to 12 inches and 13 ounces for easy travel packing
- Detachable Bluetooth remote stores on the leg and connects reliably
- Extends to 64 inches for a range of shooting heights
- Gets wobbly once extended past about 1.5 feet, per reviewers
- Tilt range does not reach a straight overhead or downward angle
- Included metal ring needed for non-MagSafe phones and cases
Performance notes
The magnet is the main draw across reviews: buyers consistently report it holding the phone securely through normal handling, which comes from the N52 magnet type rather than a mechanical clamp. The rod's seven telescoping sections get progressively thinner toward the top, which is what several reviewers point to as the source of wobble once the tripod is extended past roughly 1.5 feet; the base stays planted but the thin upper sections flex under vibration, including someone simply walking past it. The 210 degree tilt head covers portrait, landscape and low angles but its range stops short of pointing the camera straight down, which is why it doesn't work for overhead shots.
