The Best iPhone Tripods 2019

Want to take better pictures with your iPhone? Get a tripod that can hold your phone steady wherever you are taking photos.

Want to take better pictures with your iPhone? Stick it on something. Using a tripod and mount rather than holding your iPhone (or any other smartphone) in your hand can give you cleaner, sharper and more attractive pictures, while opening up new avenues for your photography. With the steady mount and flexibility that a tripod provides, you can shoot longer, from farther away and at different angles. 

A tripod can also help you take better low-light pictures by keeping the iPhone steady, which prevents the camera shake that makes night shots blurry. When you are using the optical-zoom feature that the iPhone XS offers or the digital zoom of the iPhone XR, a tripod can keep your camera much steadier, which means cleaner, sharper shots. A tripod also means that you can hold the camera lower or higher or hang it off things. Want to take a shot of yourself jumping out of a tree from the tree's point of view? Get a tripod with bendy legs that you can wrap around a branch, so you can focus on not breaking a leg rather than framing the shot. 

We've spent 10 hours picking the best combinations of a mount for holding your iPhone and a tripod for holding the mount and phone steady. We looked for the ones that offer ease of use without weighing you down and those that can make your iPhone more flexible. 

You can use most of these tripods with other smartphones; be sure to check out our list of the best camera phones. And if you want to get even more out of your smartphone's camera, you may also want to invest in an iPhone lens
