I like to use my Pixel 6 as a USB webcam with my Asus laptop which lacks an installed camera, so some mounting solution was required. I also wanted to be able to move the POV on my desk per my needs, so I figured a table top tripod of some kind would work.

I’m happy to report that this stand fills the need. It has a small foot print and is very stable at around 1/3rd extension. It deploys and collapses pretty easily though you have to apply a pretty good amount of pressure outward as well as upward on the tripod when opening. Because all of the components are plastic you’ll encounter a bit of friction that can lead to too much pressure. I imagine you’ll want to be careful with that, again because all of the components of the tripod are plastic and could break if really cranked on. I haven’t had any issues so far.

The rotating phone mount head has a notch that it can fold down into for a true 90 degree angle and aids in storage. I traveled recently with this in a side pouch of my knapsack and barely knew it was there until I needed it. The provided bluetooth shutter attachment paired with my phone instantly and allowed me to take some star-gazing shots that I quite like. It isn’t much but the inclusion of that attachment is appreciated.
