Time lapse. Long exposure. Video. Conference calls. FaceTime. Watching videos. There are a lot of cool things you can do with your phone that are much easier with something supporting the device. Tripods are the probably the best solution to the support issue, but they have their own issues. It’s one more piece of equipment you need to carry, which makes them less than convenient. Most of the time, they also require special mounting hardware for your phone. Neither one of these things is an issue with the Stance Compact Tripod from Kenu. It plugs directly into the lightning port on your iPhone or micro USB port on your Android / Windows phone, and it’s smaller than a pack of gum, weighing only 1.2oz. Stance uses a durable composite material that won’t mess up your phone port and includes a ball-and-socket joint designed to let your phone tilt and rotate freely. There’s also a bottle opener because everything needs a bottle opener.
