Therefore, you can mount latest iPhone 5, HTC One and Nokia Lumia 920 with case attached easily. And the stand consists of durable zinc alloy legs and a machined mini ballhead. It is foldable, lightweight and compact to carry easily alone in pocket or attach to key chain. There are rubber grip pads to keep your phone in place safely and securely. Same apply to the stand rubber feets that provides stability on multiple surfaces no matter flat or uneven. By the way, the mini ball head lets you tilt your smartphone 36° in any direction.

Function
Taking group, self-portrait photo or time lapse video with smartphone is never been easier with GripTight Micro Stand. Yup, just like the examples in my video review. Taking my family photos, videos are possible without 3rd party help through voice control, timer mode and manual trigger on Samsung Galaxy S4 camera. At the perfect viewing point like video of my 7 months old baby boy is playing piano with me. And capture the moment while his is playing PC keyboard with GripTight Micro Stand on the table. Besides taking photo and video, it can be used to as universal smartphone stand. Watch your favourite movie, TV series or music video in landscape mode. Or FaceTime and Skype video call in portrait mode. Or read e-book with hand free. Do you know that GripTight Mount + GorillaPod Micro 250 = GripTight Micro Stand? You can use it as one for smartphone. Or detach them and use GripTight Mount on other regular tripod (or all GorillaPod tripods) and mount digital camera on GorillaPod Micro 250. These are possible thanks to the universal 1/4″-20 screw design. Further increase its usability with different combinations. Don’t miss out to capture special moments because they are priceless, right?
