15 Best Tripods for iPhone You Can Buy Right Now

Joby is well-known for producing pro-grade tripods for smartphones. And well, its GripTight Pro TelePod looks fully capable to boost your iPhone photography. Design-wise, it sports a more conventional profile with flexible legs. With the useful strap and grippy handle, it’s very comfortable to hold.

You can use GripTight Pro TelePod to hold your smartphone up to 14-inches high, which may not be top-tier, but you have slightly more control over the way you frame your shot. When you fold the tripod, it becomes more than 7-inches tall to become a compact hand-held camera mount.

Notably, GripTight Pro TelePod comes with a shoe mount that can amp up your night shots when paired with a miniature light. Besides, it can also hold a directional microphone to improve the audio quality. Couple it with the Bluetooth remote shutter, and it does a decent job of being your go-to selfie stick as well. While the $100 price tag puts the TelePod in the expensive category, you can’t go wrong with all the features you get in return.

Believe me, there are very few iPhone tripods in the market that can rival the Manfrotto PIXI Mini in terms of functionality. The best part about PIXI Mini is its ability to work both as a tripod and a grip. Featuring a universal clamp, this tripod supports almost any smartphone on the market.

The stainless steel construction with a matte-black finish gives Manfrotto PIXI Mini a premium look. And with the soft rubber grip in the clamp, PIXI holds your smartphone securely without scratching it. Moreover, with the low and wide orientation, this tripod allows you to tilt your phone forward and backward with ease. The only downside is that it can hold the device only in the landscape orientation.

When folded, PIXI Mini becomes pocket-friendly, making sure you can carry it even in a tiny pocket. On top of all, it turns into a hand grip for travelogue shots when the three legs are folded neatly. Priced at around $30, the PIXI Mini can be your preferred tripod for both indoor and outdoor shooting on your iPhone.

Adonit PhotoGrip Qi is much more than a simple tripod. Yeah, you read that right.

So, if you are looking for a multi-purpose camera accessory for your iPhone, you should give it a shot.

The Adonit PhotoGrip features a grip design to let you capture much steadier shots. While recording action-filled videos or live-streaming, the grip will have a role to play. Even better, you can also convert it into a self-standing base or even attach the legs of the tripod to turn it into a nifty photo stand for landscape or portrait orientation.

Just like most of its counterparts, PhotoGrip also comes with a Bluetooth remote shutter to let you shoot with ease. And if your smartphone ever runs low on battery, it also becomes a Qi wireless charger (3,000mAh) to power it up with ease.

It’s the impressive ergonomic design that makes Joby GripTight GorillaPod a reliable asset for pros and iPhone photography enthusiasts. The GripTight GorillaPod Pro 2 is compatible with smartphones that have a 2.2-3.5″ width.

Additionally, Joby GripTight GorillaPod features a ColdShoe Pro mount, which lets you attach a microphone or LED light. This extra mount can help you create content for any social media, whether it is Instagram or TikTok.

Compatibility aside, the Ravelli APTL3 tripod allows shooting in both portrait and landscape modes. Unlike many other iPhone tripods, it comes with a pan arm that allows you to smoothly pan and tilt your phone on the rotating ball head. The pan arm is an integral part of professional tripods. So, I’m glad that it exists on this affordable iPhone tripod as well.

For better stability, you can lock the lever legs so the tripod can remain steady on any surface. Moreover, APTL3 weighs less than 2 pounds and comes with a useful carrying case. In a nutshell, APTL3 is one of the best iPhone tripods that you can buy to shoot professional-quality videos.

The tripod features a sturdy phone holder that securely clamps your iPhone and keeps it steady. Since the phone mount is rotatable, you can prop up the iPhone in multiple orientations, depending on the type of shots you want to capture.

Are you looking for an all-in-one tripod? If your answer is in the affirmative, give serious consideration to the Atumtek tripod. It’s not just designed to work as a super handy selfie stick but also as a well-equipped tripod. Probably the biggest highlight of this tripod-cum-selfie stick is the extra-long telescopic pole, which you can extend up to 60 inches. You can use the long telescopic pole to capture a much broader view during vlogging or family parties.

Moreover, the Atumtek tripod sports a large 10.6-inch base with three non-slip silicone pads on the feet that boost stability. Thanks to the non-slip base, it’s more resistant to accidental toppling. And with the 360° rotatable design, the phone holder allows you to position the iPhone is the preferred angle. In a nutshell, this tripod offers everything to be a top-notch tripod for iPhone.

This one is for the new-age vloggers. This kit consists of three essential products that can let you shoot pro-grade videos using your mobile device. You can use the GorrillaPod Mobile Rig base to prop up your device in multiple orientations. With sheer flexibility, it can seamlessly fit into any video situation. And with the Wavo Mobile microphone, you can prevent crowd noise from ruining your outdoor shooting.

The kit also comes with a dimmable Bluetooth-controlled Beamo Mini LED light that can play a vital role in helping you shoot high-quality videos. Though the roughly $200 price is expensive, the Joby GorillaPod vlogging kit does have the quality tools to prove its worth.

Peak Design has come up with an innovative mobile tripod. It attaches to the back of your iPhone via a magnetic “SlimLink” connector and features 3 legs that allow you to place the phone on a stable surface. While this compact tripod (Apple MagSafe compatible) may not be able to rival pro-grade tripods in terms of stability, it’s more than capable of helping you capture night shots, selfies, or film short videos.

The strong magnets allow you to position your iPhone in both landscape and portrait orientations. There is a ball/ socket at the base of the frame that enables you to fine-tune the tripod angles. Furthermore, this tabletop tripod also packs a hidden tool in the rear leg that lets you adjust the strength of the ball head.

Better still, you can also fold the legs of the tripod together vertically to hold your smartphone in your fist. This functionality can be handy for snapping selfies or recording Instagram Reels on the move.

What about having a package that comes with only a capable tripod but also a selfie ring light and a wireless remote shutter? If it sounds cool to you, make sure to check out this offering. For starters, it offers a well-built tripod that can be extended up to 63 inches. With easy height adjustment and a strong phone holder with a secure clamp, the tripod is equipped to meet various photography and videography demands.

Talking about the 10-inch selfie ring light, it allows up to 120° illuminable angle which can help you keep dark spots at bay while shooting videos. Moreover, the selfie ring light supports three colors – cool white, warm white, and warm yellow. And each color mode features 10-level of brightness. Hence, you have 30 light colors to play with. Lastly, the wireless remote shutter does a decent job of taking selfies and shooting videos. At $30, the entire package seems to be a reasonably good pick.

Joby’s Standpoint case with built-in tripod legs is designed for minimalists. This iPhone case sports a compact yet highly protective profile that wraps around the edges. Courtesy of the cushioned corners, the Standpoint case can withstand impact with ease. Besides, you can also trust this case to fit comfortably in your palm.

The highlight of this case, however, is the built-in tripod legs that work reliably in propping up the iPhone to let you shoot videos, capture selfies, and enjoy hands-free video-calling. You can adjust each leg individually to create different shooting angles. The rubber legs remain stable while holding your phone, so you won’t have to worry about fumbling.

There is also a built-in cold shoe to let you mount a microphone for creating content on the go. And if you prefer to power up your iPhone wirelessly, you would appreciate the case’s ability to support wireless charging. My only gripe with this phone case-cum-tripod is that it supports only a limited number of devices such as iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, Google Pixel 4, and 4 XL.
