Review:

The Pocket Tripod Pro is designed to be a tripod that fits anywhere your credit card can. We have used the Pocket Tripod Pro for a year and we find that it is an excellent option as a pocket tripod. 

The tripod is concealed in card form. To assemble it, you simply twist the center joint and fold up the two sides. Use the fit card to determine which brackets fit your phone. Once you are set up, using the tripod is easy. 

We loved how stable it was when holding your phone. No matter what you are trying to shoot, stability matters and the The Pocket Tripod Pro is up to the task.  The angle adjustments are also great. The soft rubber grips safely and hold your phone. Shooting high, low or straight at various tilts was a breeze. We used the tripod a lot for video calls, some selfies and to hold the phone for toddlers watching videos. We think it held up very well and performed great for every task. 

We will say that at first the Pocket Tripod Pro does seem flimsy and easy to break. But once you understand how to operate it and how it folds, it’s actually very durable. We have read some complaints about it breaking but we haven’t had any issues. In addition, the legs actually have carbon fiber imbedded in them. As the company explains it: “The 3K Twill carbon fiber, precision CNC’d and overmolded with plastic to enable it to snap into position when transforming from card to tripod and back.”

Whether you use it to record fitness videos, video calls, selfies, time lapses or whatever else you can think of, we feel the Pocket Tripod Pro is up to the task. Its size and amazing versatility makes it a must have for anyone looking for a tiny-but-mighty tripod. 

What people are saying

What they like: 

“Fits great in my wallet. Simple, smooth design. The angle adjustments are impressive. Holds phone securely.”

What they don’t like: 

“Fairly expensive for a pocket tripod. Faulty design that breaks over time. Angles can be hard to get into position.” 

Conclusion

Overall, we think the Pocket Tripod Pro is a great idea that does what it’s intended to do. The compact card opens up into a very functional, stable tripod that allows for many angles and uses. We used it weekly and never had an issue with its durability. For people who make a lot of videos, do a lot of video calls or take tons of selfies we think this is a pretty neat option to have as a portable tripod.
