The JOBY GripTight Micro Stand, a truly pocketable tripod for your iPhone or iPod touch

The portable and flexible tripod makers Joby, have just released their latest creation, the GripTight Micro Stand. Designed for any smartphone with or without a case, the GripTight Micro Stand grips your smartphone safely and securely via a spring loaded mount/grip, allows multi positioning via a machined aluminium mini ball head, that lets you tilt your smartphone 36° in any direction, and can be quickly unfolded when you need it and folds up compactly to about the size of a car key when you don't.

What do I think of the JOBY GripTight Micro Stand? Well, i've had one of these new mini tripods for a few weeks now, and I have to say, it's the best mini tripod I've ever used. It's light in weight (but not in features). Is so compact that it easily fits in a trouser or shirt pocket, and is quick and easy to deploy. Since I received my GripTight Micro Stand, it has traveled with me at all times, and has now become part of my iPhone camera kit.

For more flexibility, the mount itself can be removed from the Micro Stand and attached to a GorrillaPod, or any standard tripod. If you don't want the Micro Stand, then the mount can be purchased separately.
