Griptight gorillapod stand pro, in our opinion is the best tripod available out there in 2021.
Joby as a manufacturer could never go wrong while picking an iphone tripod. The best thing about picking it is you get a larger tripod with a robust metal head that locks and is covered with rubber which adds up in gripping your iphone.
With this metal head you can switch from portraits to landscapes like a snap and the head tilts in any position and locks as well.
Pros:
- Can be used for most of the iphones ranging from 2.2 to 3.58" in width
- Reliable rubber gripping system for secure grip and avoiding grip marks in your iphone
- Flexible joints help improving stabilization in plane as well as uneven surfaces
- Bendy legs can wrap against trees and poles of hands free shots
- 90° of rotation for landscapes and portraits and 150° of tilt that helps in avoiding glares
Cons:
- The ABS plastic used is a quality material but makes this tripod a bit larger than other similar products
- The metal head adds up some grams and makes this tripod a bit bulkier

Great content! Super high-quality! Keep it up! 🙂
Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.
Your organization’s wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t
mind me asking what theme you’re using? (and don’t mind
if I steal it? :P)
I just launched my small businesses site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the theme slows (!) the site down quite
a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for “royal cbd” on Google
(would appreciate any feedback) – it’s still in the works.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself during the coronavirus scare!

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading correctly.
I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.
We will surely work on that sir.
Thank you
