A tripod is one of the best accessories you can buy to improve your iPhone photography skills, whether you want to take a family holiday photo, or create a time-lapse video. As with all accessories, tripods come in many shapes and sizes, with different features, and it can be a pain to sift through the giant sea of options.
But not to worry, we have once again taken care of the leg work for you. Below you will find our favorite picks for the best MagSafe tripods for iPhone.
Best MagSafe tripods for iPhone in 2023
Andobil MagStick Selfie Stick Tripod
It’s hard to pick a favorite in this list, but if we had to, it might just be this one. The Andobil MagStick is one of the better-rated and more solid-feeling tripods on this list. Your phone is not only held secure by a magnet, but it also has easy-close clamps, and the handle can extend out to 63″ long, with 180-degree neck rotation and 360-degree head rotation. There’s even a detachable Bluetooth selfie remote that can stow away in the handle for easy storage.
ULANZI Magnet Cell Phone Tripod
If you’re looking for a portable, easy-to-use MagSafe mount, this might be the one to go with. It’s fairly generic in design, but it packs up to be nearly pocketable, and can work as either a tripod stand or selfie stick. There’s no clamp or belt, so you really have to trust the magnet, but if you are looking for a MagSafe-friendly tripod, this certainly seems worth checking out. Note that while it has a solid Amazon customer rating, it does have a “D” FakeSpot rating, meaning some of the reviews are likely false or paid for.
Moment Tripod Mount for MagSafe + Joby
This option may be a little unconventional, but it’s definitely worth considering. It’s a combination of two products: the Moment Tripod Mount for MagSafe, and Joby’s GorillaPod tripod. You can see that the Joby screws into the Moment tripod mount (cold shoe not included) and the two should work well together. The Moment has a stellar 4.8-star Amazon customer rating, and the Joby is considered one of the best and most flexible tripods in the space.
JOBY – GripTight GorillaPod for MagSafe
If you’d rather just go full Joby (understandable), the company does make its own GorillaPod tripod with MagSafe mount. It has built-in clips in the mount for added security, but you can just use the magnet for quick and easy mounting. This is right up there with the Andobil in terms of the best MagSafe tripods, and it has a lot to do with its bendable, spider-like legs. They can smush together to use as a selfie handle, they can spread out really far apart for better stability, or they can be used to wrap around things like poles or hand rails for custom shots.
Scosche MagicMount Pro 2 Tripod
The MagicMount Pro 2 from Scosche features an extendable selfie stick arm, with a tripod handle that opens so it can stand on its own. The mount features only strong magnets (no clasp or bands) for quick and easy mounting and unmounting. Now this product has a slightly lower rating than we like for our roundups — 3.7 out of 5 stars — but given our excellent track record with Scosche products and the “A” FakeSpot rating, we felt it was worth a mention.
EWA Magnetic Selfie Stick Tripod
If you are looking for an inexpensive option that will get the job done, this EWA Magnetic Tripod might be your answer. It looks like your standard private label tripod, but the company promises its magnet is very strong and there is even a rubber safety belt for added protection. Includes a Bluetooth Remote for taking selfies, and it does have a 4-star Amazon rating, verified by an “A” from FakeSpot.
STM – MagPod Tripod for iPhone with MagSafe
The STM MagPod tripod might be the best-looking option on this entire list. It’s extremely minimalistic and compact, and just seems like it would be super easy to use and travel with. Now it’s obviously just a little stubby stand, so definitely don’t get this if you are hoping for a taller tripod, or more versatility. But if you just want something fast and portable, you won’t be disappointed. Ignore the single 1-star review on Best Buy’s website — the MagPod gets fairly decent reviews throughout the web, and it comes with a 2-year warranty.
