    I bought this to hold my iphone7.. Lasted 2 weeks of light use before mounting bracket cracked apart. oh and the tilt function striped out. This was the most frustrating tripod i have ever owned.

    This little tripod works well for small cameras and gopro. Probably the best feature is the magnetic feet for mounting to magnetic surfaces (fences, beams, support bars, etc). This has strong magnets.

    I bought this to provide a live video feed at baseball games. The magnets in the base help to hold the tripod to the fence when i am sitting in the stands. It is stable and holds an iPhone tightly. I was happy with the functionality.

    Works great for what I need. If I had a wider phone though, the included mount would not work.

    Many occasions require good pictures to be obtained during a progress field visit to construction sites of mine. Steady, but fast execution is a must. This product has greatly improved my obtaining progress photos with a consistent quality suitable for daily reports and project correspondence!

    iphone 6. Feels a little top heavy. Tends to droop when it's standing up. However, seems better when I use the legs to wrap around objects and let it hang. But weight limit for the legs limits what camera I can put on there.

    I love it. I have been wanting one for a while now. I put it on my steering wheel to use my phone for gps while driving and I use the magnets on my fridge to hold my phone and watch Netflix while cooking dinner :) it's strong and doesn't drop my iPhone 7plus

    does exactly what its supposed to do with no surprises. Very satisfied. However, it doesn't fit larger phones like my iPhone 6 Plus. I had to replace the phone clamp from a selfie stick (which was easy to do). I must not have read the box when I purchased.

    You never know when it may come in handy, it folds up to a compact size, the ability to affix it to almost anything is useful. Bottom of feet are pretty strong magnets, the legs can wrap around whatever or you can just use it on a tabletop. Pretty sturdy.

    I really like this tripod. I took a lot of searching to find it and I am glad I did. It is a life saver for me when I need to send a film of my work to someone who is expecting it, like a client or teacher. Makes the whole process much easier.

    I wanted to buy this tripod (similar) for my iPhone. I love to record different activities on my phone due to the great quality. It works good. The grip can sometimes slide causing the phone to fall out. This only happens when I have the case on my phone.

    It works great with my iPhone 6. Very flexible and I can adjust the angle easily when I was video taping. I don't think it's sturdy enough to hold anything bigger. Good enough for my purpose.

    It works.. the beaded legs are stiff and sometimes a little hard to get the stand to stay still, but a little adjusting usually does the trick. For bigger phones, you will need to remove the case as the attachment is not that big

    I was looking for a good portable tripod for a smartphone and the Joby works perfectly. I love the flexible magnetic legs that give you a bunch of options to mount it.

    It needs to enlarge enough to be able to hold phones, even with their cases on them. So if the phone pops out or falls out it won't break or shatter the screen.
