Ailun iPhone Tripod

Well made. Good price. Performs well. Especially like that the screw part detaches to facilitate easy removal of the camera

First impression: really pleased. Was worried about the pressure on my phone from the grip but with a case I feel far more comfortable as not even touching the screen. Makes videos stable and easy to use, will update over time! Update: lasted about seven months before the leg snapped off and had to be replaced. This tripod wasn’t always the best as it didn’t hold when wrapped around things (e.g branches), but did a decent job for meetings etc even if it was a little small. Survived longer than expected given my heavy handling!

Very good product, easy to use

Review: I bought this compact tripod mount specifically to hold my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra while taking photos of items for eBay. If you own a larger, heavier smartphone, you will know how difficult it can be to find a budget-friendly mount that doesn't droop or wobble. This one handles the weight brilliantly. The Good: Secure Grip: The spring mechanism is tight and securely clamps onto the S24 Ultra, even with a protective case on. It feels completely safe and doesn't slip during long shooting sessions. Eliminates Camera Shake: When taking close-up shots of smaller items for online listings, even the slightest hand tremor can cause blur. Using this on a tabletop tripod keeps the camera perfectly still, allowing the phone's sensor to capture maximum detail. Compact and Portable: It takes up next to no space on the desk and fits easily into a drawer or camera bag when not in use. Things to Bear in Mind: Landscape to Portrait: Because of the way the mount is designed, changing the orientation means you have to adjust the tripod head itself rather than just twisting the clamp, which takes a few extra seconds. Build Quality: It is made of lightweight plastic, so it doesn't feel like a premium piece of studio gear, but for the price point, the functionality is absolutely spot on. If you need a reliable, fuss-free way to steady your phone for product photography, this is a fantastic value tool that gets the job done.

Clamp section is great but legs break too easily after only a few uses and bends.

Absolutely rubbish. It’s cheap for a reason. One of the legs came off after only a couple of indoor uses, so the build quality is clearly very poor. I expected something basic at this price, but not something that breaks almost immediately. Don’t waste your money.

A very versatile bit of kit.

I have joined an online competition group where you enter by posting up a video of yourself doing the set challenge. You need to have your full body from feet to above head in the frame. Putting my mobile phone on the floor leaning against the wall didn't work well. It also holds the phone at an easier to view angle for using my interval timer app for exercise workouts. This is great. It holds the phone secure in cushioned 'jaws' so the phone isn't scratched. I have dropped a star for them being too secure; with my athritic fingers it is a job to get on and off. After a while I stopped taking it off and (serendipity) found it easier to hold the "slippery little sucker" using it as a handle. You can have it portrait or landscape. There are screws/plates to allow you to use it with small video camera. The little legs allow the power cable to be attatched to the phone and not cause it to move or fall over. You can alter the angle of the attatched phone etc by loosening thumbscrews, realigning and tightening to keep in place. The legs can be moved every which way or curled round things. There are directions to the website/youtube for instructions on how to use it. It is good value/quality for money, came quickly, well packed, and easy to open. I am pleased with my purchase. Update: with being in lockdown I am using this for a lot more than the originial thing that I bought it for. We are keeping in touch with family in video chats and it's more comfortable just sitting in front of the phone than holding it up and away so my hand/arm doesn't get tired either. Just a quick adjustment to landscape and we can both sit comfortably side by side on the settee. I am also doing demonstration video blogs and with it I have both hands free, and the 'curly' legs mean I can hang/fix it in any place to get the best shot of what I'm doing. Warning: I thought all three legs swiveled in the top joint but have found out that the back one is fixed. After 15 months of almost daily use and adjustment this leg has broken, but it was my fault. I was so pleased with this wee tripod I am ordering another ... and this time looking at the instructions video! It's a great gadget at a great price.
