Best iPhone Tripod For Flexibility
Joby GripTight One Tripod
Need a small, flexible tripod that you can throw in your bag to shoot content on the go? A Joby GripTight tripod could be the option for you.
This lightweight and flexible tripod can easily bend around other surfaces like poles to offer a wider range of camera angles. But unfortunately, the legs are short, which means you’ll have to place the tripod on a table or a very tall stack of books to take portraits.
Where to buy: Amazon Australia ($46.95) | Catch ($54.95)
Best Full-Length iPhone Tripod
Eocean Selfie Stick Tripod
If you’re shooting mostly full body content, or need to shoot your head and torso but don’t have a spare table or shelf to place your phone on, you might want to invest in a full-length tripod like this Eocean one.
Measuring in at 142cm tall, this tripod is perfect for family photos and other photography needs and essentially mimics everything you’d expect from a camera tripod. Additionally, it comes with a Bluetooth remote for easy control.
Where to buy: Amazon Australia ($28.38)
Best Universal Tripod For Phones
Manfrotto Pixi Mini Tripod
Do you live in a house full of wannabe TikTok stars who all have different phones? Might I suggest a universal tripod like this Manfrotto one?
Sure, it’s small and looks like a teeny, tiny helicopter, but it fits any smartphone and has a protective layer to avoid scratching your device.
Where to buy: Amazon Australia ($58.80) | Catch ($59)
Best Non-Tripod For iPhones
ShoulderPod Handle Grip
Tripods are all well and good, but perhaps you’d actually be better suited to a monopod like the ShoulderPod. The ShoulderPod offers three modes: tripod, filmmaker handle and a traveller stand for a multi-purpose product.
This is the perfect option for travelling or for the avid filmmaker who may need more than one product.
Where to buy: Amazon Australia ($47.95)
Now go on, live your best life and make a bunch of funny TikToks. You know you want to.
