I dont fall into either of those categories, but I am a content creator; in addition to my writing, Im a frequent contributor to TechRadars TikTok and YouTube channels. That involves an awful lot of content capture, often showing my hands-on experience trying tech sounds fun, right? Well, instead, picture me holding my phone in my teeth while using my hands to operate a coffee machine and praying I dont end up with a third-degree burn and a smashed phone. There are ample tripods and phone mounts on the market, and Ive tried a fair few; while image stabilization on iPhones is pretty good, these can really help the overall quality of your content by reducing interference, allowing you to step away from the viewfinder and even charge your phone during power-hungry creative sessions. Specifically, my new favorite is KraftGeeks new JustTap Magnetic Phone Tripod, which the brand sent to me along with the PowerShutter Power Bank Stand to try out, and Im in love with these affordable, easy-to-use MagSafe accessories. (Image credit: Future) MagSafe and sound Available in black and white, the tripod itself is lightweight at 15.8oz / 0.45kg and compact at 13 inches / 33cm long, and its super easy to use. Simply tap the base on the ground and the legs will spring forth; from there, its just a case of raising the telescopic ten-section aluminium rod to your desired height (up to 66-inches / 167cm) and, hey presto, youve got a tripod ready to go. At the top sits the MagSafe phone holder, which can be tilted on a 180-degree axis and holds the phone in both vertical and horizontal orientations. Its pretty damn solid too; I can afford to whack the tripod and wobble it around a fair amount before the phone inevitably falls off, but I wouldnt recommend being too rough with it, regardless.

USB-C. That, of course, makes it easier to take great shots of yourself or capture action as it happens, but it pales in comparison to my favorite part of this bundle: the PowerShutter Power Bank Stand. Instead of a remote control, this accessory features a tactile shutter button, but it also delivers 10W magnetic fast charging and is equipped with a 5000mAh battery. Shaped like the grip on a traditional camera, it snaps onto your phone to deliver charging, and has a second magnetic ring on the other side that allows you to attach it to another accessory; in my case, the tripod, but you could also opt for a MagSafe light. I thought it to be a little gimmicky at first, but its actually become one of my most-used accessories. Not only is it great for stabilizing your shots and giving a bit more grip for one-handed photography, its also multi-functional; I use mine as a tabletop stand for watching media or scrolling one-handed. (Image credit: Future) Get creative The tripod isnt perfect - these kinds of pop-out, low-clearance stabilizing legs dont offer much central support balance, so its prone to wobbling slightly, and especially so when the wind picks up. Plus, you cant adjust the leg heights to work on less even surfaces, but these gadgets are not exactly rugged if you want to use them on the road, anyway. Its durability is a little questionable, too; the telescopic main stem seems well-made enough in my month of semi-frequent use, but over time, Ive seen these degrade in more budget-friendly devices. Still, at $42.99 / 38 for the tripod and $36.99 / 25 for the shutter powerbank, Im really impressed with these handy accessories, so dont be surprised if you catch them in the reflection of my product review snaps! ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://www.techradar.com/phones/phone-accessories/the-iphone-17-pros-powerful -camera-array-demands-respect-and-these-magsafe-phone-accessories-are-the-perf ect-companions --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
