Joby GripTight PRO TelePod

I literally own THREE of these. That’s how much I use them.
 
I’ve purchased several different JOBY mounts and tripods over the years, and this is the only one I consistently pull out and use on a daily basis. At this point, it’s one of those pieces of content gear I genuinely cannot live without.
 
The JOBY GripTight PRO TelePod has been especially useful because I film so much by myself. I use it constantly with my phone—it works as a small tripod, extends when I need more height, and collapses down into something compact enough to easily carry around the shop or throw in my gear.
I ended up buying three because I use them so often. I can leave them set up in different areas, keep one with my gear, or quickly grab one when I need a shot instead of constantly moving a large tripod around.
 
They aren't the cheapest phone tripods out there, but after buying and trying several other JOBY mounts, I can confidently say this one has been BEYOND worth the price for me. The fact that I bought three of them probably says everything.
 
Unfortunately, JOBY appears to be discontinuing this model, and they’re getting harder and harder to find. I’m still linking them whenever I can find them available because I haven't found another compact phone tripod that I like nearly as much.
 
If you create a lot of content—especially if you film yourself—this is easily one of my favorite pieces of creator gear I own.
