Joby GripTight Smartphone Mount
Joby's new GripTight is a simple, quick and clever mount for smartphones. It's also one that doesn't require a clunky case in order to get your phone a tripod.
The Joby GripTight Mount is an attachment allowing you to mount and stabilise your smartphone, helping you take better photos by reducing the movement that occurs when you take photos with the device held in your hand.
Everyone has a friend whose face is always in front of their phone. You can usually sniff that person out by going to eat at a restaurant and seeing who pulls their phone out to Instagram their food.
QUICKVIEW: Joby GripTight Mount for Smartphones
We all know these moments, when it would be convenient to have a tripod for a smartphone. For instance if you want to shot some group photos during your vacations, record a video of your kids in the park, or for creating a fancy Vine or Instagram video.
BEWARE! Cheap plastic. Do not use with expensive large smartphones unless you are a gambler by nature.
BEWARE of using this with an expensive "large smartphone"! It's junk. After barely one use, the metal grommet that the tripod screws into is encased in flimsy plastic, and the plastic surrounding that grommet will crack when you use a "large smartphone" such as the Nexus 6.
Pretty good little tripod
Well made and does what it says. Good for shooting time lapses with my android phone. The clamp unscrews from the legs with a standard tripod thread, which is pretty versatile. I can use the legs with my point and shoot camera, or use the clamp to put my phone on a full size tripod.- Rugged
- Lightweight
- Simple
- Reliable
Flawless...
Before I even opened the box, I was thoroughly impressed with the superb high quality of the beautifully-made and presented retail packaging: extra thick, rigid and glossy without that cheap feel to it we're so accustomed to....
Fits phones well, kinda tough to open on the fly
I got this to do some basic capture for when I'm out riding mountain bikes and making 'sick edits' of me bumbling through a trail. The ball head on it is a good balance of rigid and moveable, keeping the phone in place once set but still able to modify the position.
Review: Joby GripTight Micro Stand and Joby GripTight GorillaPod Stand
Keir writes: There have been some very impressive developments lately with OiS (optical image stabalisation) on Nokia's newest Lumias. First we had the 920 whose OiS enabled long exposure times for impressively sharp photos in low light (at least with static subjects) and now we have the 1020 which...
Great accessory
Love the Joby Tight Grip. Light weight and easy to carry as both ends folds flat. Holds my iPhone 6 with case extremely well. I really like the idea of slipping the TG on and off whilst leaving my case on.- Easy to use
