Tripods & Mounts

A tripod is a three-legged stand designed to hold your phone or camera steady for long exposure, stable shots, or when you need to keep the camera in one place. A selfie stick is a portable, extendable rod used to hold your phone at a distance, ideal for taking self-portraits or group shots. Unlike a tripod, a selfie stick is not designed for stability in professional shots but is more for convenience and mobility.

Yes, many tripods come with a universal phone mount or can be paired with a phone holder. Some tripods are specifically designed to be used with both smartphones and cameras, allowing you to switch between devices easily.

When buying a tripod, consider its height, weight, and stability. A tripod should be tall enough for your shooting angle needs but still portable enough for travel. Look for features like adjustable legs, levelling bubbles, and quick-release plates for easy setup and breakdown. Additionally, make sure it can support the weight of your camera or phone.

When choosing a selfie stick, look for one that supports your phone’s size and weight. Bluetooth connectivity is a common feature that lets you take photos remotely without needing to set a timer. Some selfie sticks also come with a tripod base, allowing them to double as a mini tripod for stable shots.
