Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have owned a JOBY Gorilla Pod (magnetic) for several years and gotten much use out of it with my Canon S90. It was a practical purchase and worth every penny I spent for it. But over the years the photographic prowess of mobile phones has improved exponentially, so I hoped I could find an adapter that would allow me to extend the life of my Gorilla Pod as I migrated away from my point-and-shoot. Lo and behold I stumbled upon the JOBY - GripTight ONE Mount for Mobile Phones while killing some time at Best Buy! This mount is exactly what I wanted and was a no-brainer purchase. It easily holds my iPhone XS Max securely with its spring-loaded grips even with its Apple silicone case in place. And the adapter folds down to take up minimal space when not in use.

I already had the Roby small tripod so this was the next step took some great pictures of the two of us on our last trip with my IPhone clamped in. One the tripod gripping the top of a post to take a vertical picture.

This is a great little item that folds flat and is lightweight. It will even work with my Moto G5 Plus IN its Incipio brand protective case. That is NOT true of the Manfrotto brand smartphone tripod mount, which will not quite fit around that smartphone when it is in that case, although of course both mounts will work with the smartphone out of the case. Another thing I like about this Joby product is that it has a very small little hole that can be used to thread a camera strap through it. The small hole may or may not be visible from the pictures provided. The Manfrotto product (competing smartphone tripod mount) does not have such a hole, although it does have its own unique advantages. Being creative, I have thought up a number of original uses for this. For example, using a 1/4 20 short threaded rod that I got from a hardware/home improvement store, I can attach my smartphone to a Sony action camera. Next, using the Sony Wi-Fi and Sony application from the Google Play Store, I can give this action camera a live view while I am using it. In other words, I can see what the camera is recording while also controlling it with my smartphone, and everything will be attached together. By using this with my Manfrotto brand smartphone tripod mount, I can hook two smartphones together, and that is a fun thing, because I can make video comparisons that way. I can also attach a smartphone to a digital camera and control it with the smartphone. Further, I could use the cameras for different purposes. For example, my smartphone could record 4K video, while I use my camera to take photos. Since the two will be attached together with the 1/4 20 short rod I mentioned, we are going to get photos and video of the same things at the same time, from the same point of view. Seriously, this is a high-quality product that is hard to catch on sale. However, I used a price-match guarantee to get it for a dollar or so less, which wasn't much of a savings, really.

The piece is vital if you want to put a phone on a tripod. The piece works well and folds up for easy storage in a bag or a pocket. It hold many types of phones, even the plus size iPhones. The piece, if swung, can open and throw your phone. But as long as you use it well, it works great. The biggest problem is the price. I think it's way too overpriced. It's even overpriced when it includes the tripod. Otherwise, it's a good product.

This holds any type of phablet that I have found so far, and works with every JOBY product. Their ecosystem really does find cohesion at every point -- but remember their smaller arms have not as much ability to hold bigger phablets up and safely so be careful with what size phone you use with the JOBY arms and all with this. Remember this though: It works with almost any other screw base tripod mount!

Such a handy gadget. Getting a lot more use out of my pro tripod after purchasing this. Good design and a breeze to use.

Folds up nice and small, but is large enough for an iPhone 8 Plus in. Lifeproof case. Gets a good grip on the phone, and easily attaches to the standard threaded tripod mount.

I got this holder so I could put my phone on a tripod. Now it is very rare for me to use a phone to record video on a tripod, but when I need it I need it. This little device is small enough and packs away so that I can keep it in a misc accessories bin in my camera bag and not take up space. So in those odd moments I do need it, it's there! This is one of those little accessories that can save the day but not be in the way when you don't need it.

I have found this to be super handy for holding a cell phone on a tripod. It eliminates shaking the picture during live streaming, recording videos, or video conference calls. It also makes it a breeze to take your own picture, especially with a group, by using the cell phone's photo timer feature. However, it's cost is a little pricey.

This is a very basic, but sturdy and well-constructed mount. I do agree with another reviewer that it is a bit overpriced — $9.99 should be the max for what it is — but sometimes it's hard to find specialized items like this, and even moreso during the pandemic, which was my situation, and Best Buy knows this, and hence the higher price. I later realized that I could have simply jury-rigged one of my extra Kenu Airframe Car Vent Phone Mounts (or similar) to do the same thing that I needed this (mounting on a mic stand so that I could use my smartphone as a webcam) for and I almost returned this one. But, in the end, it did work well for my needs and I decided to just keep it, and especially given that I bought it open-box for $5 less than list price. But, again, and in case you've been pondering over it, I can attest that it is quality and well-made.

It does the job, and it was reasonably priced. Everything worked as it should.

This is the ultimate phone holder for any tripod!!!!

Handy to have in a pinch! An excellent tool to have when more than one mounting station.

This compact little device has an adjustable grip that will fit most cell phones. It's small and light weight, easy to take along. The tripod mount will fit any tripod, tiny to huge. And a great price!!!! Tripod is extra. Choose your own to fit your needs. Note: Basic mount is horizontal. Swivel would be a tripod feature. .

I've had a Gorillapod for years, and can't believe it took me this long to get the smartphone holder. This works perfectly well on my Pixel 4A 5G with a case for added bulk, and helps with those tricky astrophotography shots.

Extremely versatile, worth every penny. Holds phone up without being flimsy!

To tell the truth I haven't used this yet. I purchased to hold my phone on a tripod during video conferencing and virtual meetings. But I am glad I have this little tool in my bag because it is compact, light and easy to use when I need it.

very convenient to have for my phone, perfect purchase

Works perfect with my iPhone XR it has the standard thread size for tripods I got this to mount my phone to trip on for making videos the price was real good and durability is excellent

Durable and easy to use. Love the small compact size. You don’t have to worry about devices flying out. Works with iPhones and iPhones 8 and other devices like the Samsung.
