I was one of the customers who got one of the ‘defective’ ones mentioned in this video. It actually sat around broken for awhile because I thought it might be a hassle to exchange, but I couldn’t be happier with the customer service I received when I did it. It was super easy and fast. Just GREAT customer service!
The clarity, integrity, and detail here… So glad I happened upon a listing for this product among other gadgets one might find handy. Feeling optimistic about my purchase and even more so after reading comments here. I bought a package deal because I presumed the product to be a winner, and immediately can list friends who do photography who would be thrilled to receive this as a gift. The purchasing process was comfortable, effective, and no trickery. Twice I’ve experienced problems when one clicks to add an additional product at 50% off, say, and suddenly you’re at the final page and the total is full price for everything, not what you originally chose. So the format here mimicked some other websites where I had problems, but it went through smoothly and I’m prepared to be thrilled with the product. Thank you again for the clear video with such useful detail. this was a breath of fresh air discovery, and a highlight of the day. I cannot emphasize enough how refreshing to encounter this attention to inventive detail and obvious integrity.
Got mine as a gift and I really like it so far. I'm an ultralight backpacker and a minimalist at heart so this is made for people like me. Use the sizing tool as a gray card for WB is a very creative idea too. Thanks for an innovative product. Much success to you on this, sir.
What a brilliant idea. I love it. I bought so many big bulky phone tripods that never get used because they are a pain to bring along and with the button bumps and shape of the phone, it never stands up by itself. This is really a game changer. Thank you. 🙏🏼
GREAT idea to include a link to this video in an email after someone purchases the Pocket Tripod! I've not received mine yet, but now I feel I can truly utilize it well once it does arrive!
Mine tripod also broke and I wasn't going to replace it and decided to call and see what would happen. I am receiving a replacement at no cost and was surprised. I love the tripod and can hardly wait for my replacement. You really keep your word and replace at no cost and with speed, thank you.
I just got my Pocket Tripod Pro today. I love it so far! But -- a 22-minute tutorial on this little thing? Well, I watched it all the way through and picked up tips all the way to the end, so good move. Thank you for this. Amazing packaging, too, including the authentication feature. And a gray card, too?! I had been reluctant to order before now because of some of the cheap knock-offs out there that break the first time you use them. Happy that this is the real deal, and I appreciate the lifetime warranty.
My phone didn't fit correctly, thanks to this video /I found the secret adapters and the code to order the 10.5. So thank you very much. can't wait to start using it
Excellent. Thank you for explaining. Can’t wait to receive mine. One tiny suggestion….instead of saying “twist”, you might consider saying “rotate”. Can’t wait to receive mine.
I just ordered this today. I don't know how many times I have been in a situation where I was trying to film something with my phone and needed both hands. This could be the answer to 99% of my problems when I need to be hands-free and filming with my phone. I'm excited to get this and put it through its paces. And I will remember to twist and not been 😀 thanks for sharing.
Well done. We have to stay very light with our gear for the type of work we do. We have struggled with small format "holders". Can't wait to get the Pocket Tripod and test it out.
Fantastic video. I suggest you get rid of the instructions that come with the tripod. Put another QR code in there that goes directly to this video. Even though I read the instructions carefully I unsnapped it where I shouldn’t have. Love this pocket tripod.
Just ordered one of these for my Sony Xperia 1 V. After watching this I can't help but wonder why you don't make a portion of the tripod in the Grey for white balance purposes. That way we don't have to carry round two items.
Perhaps you should print in large friendly letters on both sides of the base - DON'T BEND, TWIST! The desire to bend the unit is understandable; it could be thought of as a design flaw. However, I think that's a bit harsh, because it's a brilliant design; it's just a shame people aren't so lateral-thinking! Looking forward to receiving mine!
I just got my pocket tripod & I have 2 cases that I switch back and forth. Size 11.0 & 11.5, which are not included. I used the codeprovided, but it only allows to be used once. Can the code be used on more than 1 free adapter? **Update: I just got my adapter & it had all the sizes I needed in one package.
Omg this is sooo smart. I could use this for that macbook feature where you can use your iphone as a camera instead of using your macbook’s front cam when doing zoom calls or FaceTime and stuff. I ordered last night and it’s gonna arrive anytime this week. I can’t wait!
Mine is coming in mail soon. I think I became smarter just watching this video. Don’t bend it! Got it! Second thing, is this useful for an iPad? Seems like it would work.
Thank you! Yes you can fit an iPad in it, but it won't be very stable due to the large size of the iPad. Would you be interested in us making a larger version for iPads?
Just purchased and received my tripod pro. My IPhone 15 requires the 8.5mm adapter but there isn't one in the pack. It starts at 8.0mm then jumps to 9.0mm. what do I need to do to get an 8.5mm adapter? Regards. Steve. C.
Hey Steve, if you’re using a bare iPhone 15 the 8.0 mm will give you a perfect snug fit. But you you really need the 8.5mm then please send us a an email to support@pocket-tripod.com for it
@@PocketTripodPRO yes I am using a bare IPhone 15 but the 8.0mm doesn’t give me that snug fit as shown in the video instructions. I certainly wouldn’t trust holding it upside down. I have given over my purchase info and postal address via the chat function so I look forward to receiving the 8.5mm in 10-15 days as I am in the UK. Thanks. Steve. C.
Yes absolutely. The compatibility goes by phone thickness, regardless of model. As long as the phone and case thickness combines is less than 1/2 inch (12.5 mm) we have a Pocket Tripod for you. Most Otterbox cases still fall under the 12.5 mm limit.
Len that's awesome! Hope it keeps going. If you noticed any issues don't forget we back it with our lifetime warranty. Just email support@pocket-tripod.com
Jk, but could you please update your website. It says that you're not on Amazon. For a while I thought that I bought a fake on Amazon, but it has your branding and...well you. Mine is not fake then right?
Okay, so I just ordered one of these. Is it made of plastic? Did I just pay $35 for a credit card sized piece if plastic? I'm going to be so disappointed if that's the case.
A sleeve the size of the pocket tripod that can affix to the case on my phone would be fantastic. Then the tripod would always be with my phone even if I don't happen to have my wallet. For instance - I'm a runner and like to take photos but I wouldn't take my purse or wallet with me.
If you have an iPhone 12 or newer, get Apple's MagSafe business card case that attaches magnetically on the back of the phone, and the Pocket Tripod fits perfectly inside! That's what I'm using with my iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Please add this video to your Amazon Pocket Tripod Pro page in the videos section. It will explain the quality of this tripod and show all of its functionality. I have one & love it for years. I learned things I never knew from this video. Brilliant design and functionality.
Thank you! Yea that's a great idea, but Amazon only let's us upload a 3 minute video. This is 23 minutes. Any suggestions? Maybe we can keep only the most impactful segments. What were some of your favourite parts of this video?
@@PocketTripodPRO definitely "bend, don't twist" and showing how to get the right fit and adjust, and then add a shortlink to the full video in the Amazon video.
Really interested in this, but oddly, it was this video that gave me pause. I didn't think about damaging it by bending, and it seems really easy to bend it. At $35 now, that seems like a big risk (I've got kids!). Is it possible to bend it back at least a couple of times before it's damaged? Does it at least resist bending a bit?
Thanks for the comment. The hinge pin won't deform if you bend the two halves accidentally. It will pop out. It'll still work after you insert it back in, but it can leave burrs around the hinge barrel that can protrude a bit. We'd like to avoid that. Nonetheless, we back your Pocket Tripod with our lifetime warranty.
Thank you for making it. I could have used it last week while videoing a sand crab, making a home at the beach. We used a sandal and it didn't work. Excellent instructions. I can't wait to get mine.

Thanks Rambod! I watched this whole video with my morning tea. Twist don't bend! Now to get the new phone in the new case and do the fitting.
Haha don't bend! 😆😅
How did the fitting go Jennifer?

I needed the 11.5 adapter. Super easy to order the adapters and $0.00! Awesome product!!
FYI the Apple MagSafe wallet is a perfect case for this too (by itself without any CCs) and it is easy to always keep on your iPhone!!
My unit arrived today and honestly I love it👌Well done on the design and packaging, love your tutorial 👍
Woohoo! Love hearing that!! ❤️🥰
Twist don't bend got it! Fun and useful intro video.
Thank you for creating this product!
Thank you Randy. Glad to hear that.
Thank you so much for your explanation! Such a great designs and useful of Pocket Tripod. ❤👍🎯
I'm one of those weird people too that actually watched the important instruction video, especially before getting the item. Now I won't bend it.
You are so kind! Thank you San.
Haha not weird at all. It really is the best compliment to know our work is appreciated.
Very cool product this is just what I was looking for. It fits nicely in my credit card/cash holder that slips easily into my front pocket. Thank you

I've got one. The half moon adaptors simply do not easily move. Very or extremely difficult to spin, turn or adjust angle of phone.
I am so glad I found this video because I almost broke my tripod pro! Love it!
Would love for there to be grippy material on the bottom
is it impossible to add guardrails to avoid such mistakes?
I have a lot of trouble putting the phone in with the case on. Some of the fittings broke trying to adjust the angle.
This is a nice product. Should also think about rebranding for parents to hold phones for their kids to watch videos
They don't need to hold the phone, the stand holds it.
Are you telling me now I need to buy adapters?
Mine is coming in mail soon. I think I became smarter just watching this video. Don’t bend it! Got it! Second thing, is this useful for an iPad? Seems like it would work.

Wil this work with an S23 Ultra in a thinish case by Caseology?
Anyone know which adapter would fit on an ARC case for iPhone 13 Pro Max?
Can't wait to get this. Thanks!

I thought the thing was made of metal, so learning its bendable plastic means it'll be less effective as a ninja star.
@@watamatafoyuBut better than a ninja star at holding your phone! 😄
Great idea though! 😎
Bend, not twist. Got it! 👍
It's odd that people think folding it in half will somehow make it hold the phone up and not tip, or be more comfortable in your pocket.
Not sure why but we've seen a lot of first time users get the urge to do that.
Nothing ever before awesome
The adapter doesn’t move smoothly, it was so hard and when I was trying to move the angle, the tempered glass screen protector on my phone cracked!
gonna bend it and send it
Do I get a diploma? 😂
so do I twist it or bend it? I think I'll bend it. Oh......
😅🤣🤣🤣
But will it blend?
Obviously it is not a tripod. Why don't you call it a tripod replacement then?
Do NOT bend!!
Don't bend it, I get it, iPhone users huh?
