Some smaller items with a lot of top weight will send the tripod toppling over, but we’re able to combat this by aligning the mounted item parallel with one of the legs of the stand. This places the weight onto that leg of the tripod, not the area between legs, allowing it to stand up freely. The upper phone holder is plastic, but the grip portion is also covered with silicone. This enables the holder to grab onto phones firmly without slipping on sleek surfaces like an uncased phone. The spring that holds the mechanism together is tight and hasn’t shown any signs of loosening.

First, let’s talk about the mini tripod base. The standard quarter-inch male tripod thread allows you to attach just about anything you would typically use on a standard tripod. Most camera gear is too heavy for the light frame and will tumble over, but most smaller items fit fine. We can mount point and shoot cameras, plastic film cameras, and an Instax Mini camera on the stand. JOBY GripTight ONE Micro Stand | When in use as a tripod, the stand brings a camera about a half-inch (1.27 CM) off the floor. The micro stand comes in two parts: a tripod base and an upper phone holder. The lower portion has a quarter-inch male tripod thread, and the upper has a quarter-inch female tripod thread. JOBY GripTight ONE Micro Stand | The two pieces of the stand separated. Supplied with the industry standard ¼-20” mounting point, the GripTight Mount for MagSafe works as a dream team with the included GorillaPod 1K Stand for some true Grip It, Wrap It, Stand It™ action. The JOBY® GripTight™ Mount for MagSafe is designed for the owners of the popular iPhone 14, 13, 12 and legacy iPhone and latest series of smartphones. The stand also functions as a tripod, enabling you to take your smartphone photography to the next level. We all remember when camera phones came out, and the photos were about as clear as a set of Ikea furniture directions, but today we’re blessed to have options when it comes to snapping pictures with our phones.The stand’s base (or tripod portion) is crafted from aluminum, making it very light. The feet are wrapped with silicone. The aluminum is sturdy but gets scratched up pretty easily. The silicone feet are durable and help the stand not slide around on the various surfaces you might place it onto. The tripod is great for phones with night mode, as it enables you to keep your phone incredibly still while the shutter is open for crisp, in-focus images. We also love using the stand for time lapse videos, especially out a hotel or train car window. If there’s a window between your phone and your subject, be sure there isn’t a light source behind your phone. This will add glare to the window and won’t look so lovely in your time lapse.

The grip is perfect for recording a video of yourself at an elevated height, taking a group photo with lots of people in it, or for setting up a live feed of an event like a wedding or kids sports match for people from across the world to view. In a post-pandemic world, we also love using the grip to take selfies while traveling without needing to ask anyone else to touch our phone. The next use is as a phone holder. This grip is compatible with any quarter-inch tripod mount when not connected to the base. This means that you can attach it anywhere you’d typically mount your camera to give your cellphone a sturdy base for taking videos, selfies, and zoom meetings with a group of people.
