Peak Design Travel Tripod Phone Mount

2025-08-06T20:00:00

We have used this part springingly Very clever design but surprisingly cheap materials for a Peak product. The tripod is a stellar product that never fails to preform. The storage place for this product is genuinely inspired, too bad the materials don't match the quality of the tripod.

Hey, I've had my aluminum tripod for 5 years! No complaints and no issues. Last fall I was out one night photographing the Aurora borealis in my kitchen? sorry outside, can't help but reference a good old Simpsons episode. Any ways. This little guy has rarely been used and I went to go pop it on my tripod and slip my phone into it. And it snapped? I was shocked but hey 5 years is a long time. Any ways it's taken me nearly a year to send in my warranty claim! The claim was a breeze, answer some questions, locate the serial number on tripod which is like a were is Waldo and a degree in angular optics to see it but I found it. Snapped a photo of the broken piece and I was done, 2.5 weeks later it showed up at my door. Crazy how easy and painless it was!! Great support as always! Hey, I've had my aluminum tripod for five years now no complaints, no issues. It's been a solid companion on every shoot. Last fall, I was out photographing the Aurora Borealis? in my kitchen. Kidding, of course just can't resist a classic Simpsons reference. Anyway, I went to pop this little-used phone mount onto my tripod, slipped my phone in, and snap it broke. I was surprised, but hey, five years is a solid run. It's taken me nearly a year to send in my warranty claim (life happens), but I finally did and I was blown away by how easy it was. Just answered a few questions, hunted down the serial number (which was like playing Where's Waldo with a twist of angular optics), snapped a photo of the broken part, and that was it. 2.5 weeks later, the replacement arrived at my door. No hassle, no back-and-forth just great, painless support. Thanks again for standing behind your gear

Really bad quality, the plastic hinge just broke...

The cell phone mount broke when I used it for the first time. I was gentle in mounting so I think it must be a design flaw. This is the worst part of the tripod.

Dear Peak Design Team, Unfortunately, I have to say that I'm very disappointed with the quality of the Travel Tripod Phone Mount - especially considering the price point. I purchased the tripod directly from you on November 26, 2021, and was initially very satisfied - particularly with the cleverly hidden phone mount inside the tripod. Until now, I mainly used it to mount my camera and only about 5-6 times to attach my phone. But today, while trying to mount my phone, the part suddenly broke - without any force or misuse. I'm honestly shocked. For a product in this price range, I expected significantly better durability and build quality. I would like to request a replacement part - ideally two, in case the same weak construction causes it to break again. I truly wonder how long this component is supposed to last with regular use. Thank you very much in advance for your support. Best regards, Yang

The original mount broke. I checked and saw the tripod had a lifetime warranty. From the time I sent an email asking about the replacement part and receipt to the email confirming shipment at no cost of the replacement was probably 4-5 hours. And part arrived in the mail within 3 days.

Tripod amazing the phone mount is genius besides one hiccup. It's 2025 and we take videos in vertical format. We please make a vertical phone Mount for the tripod.

I bought the carbon fiber tripod in 2023. The product is great and works like a charm. Yesterday i tried to use the phone mount for the first time, it immediately broke into pieces upon attaching my phone. My phone dropped to the ground and the screen broke. The quality of this attachment is subpar which is very unfortunate for such a high quality brand. Because my tripod is just out of warranty i can't ask for a replacement either. This accessory needs some attention.

Very useful for attaching a smartphone to Peak Design's Travel Tripod. Coming from the same great manufacturer, it has the same durable quality and fits neatly.

I was very surprised when my parcel arrived because I didn't expect so fast delivery.

Used the phone mount maybe 6-7 times. I'm gentle with my stuff. I even keep the tripod in it's sleeve and original packing case when not in use. Using a Pixel8, the mount finally broke at its weakest point. Upon inspection, I noticed the opposite arm was ready to break as well. Surely the weakest item on the tripod. Disappointed since it was engineered to fit in it's own place. For less than the cost of a replacement, I will be purchasing a 3rd party phone mount that is more robust.

I used this for some years (maybe twice a year or so) and while it works, it broke after being used a dozen times or so. So it's not super strong but the way it hides in the tripod is ingenious!

This is a significant improvement over the original version. Two previous travel tripod phone mounts fell apart, one was partly my fault, but the second simply wore out after a couple of years. The new version has metal components instead of plastic feet, and also fits into the head more easily without needing to be forced. I don't expect I will need to be replacing this one any time soon.

Broke the one that came with the tripod. So ordered another one and it works great!

Third time used it snapped in my hands while placing the phone. One of the arm broke at the hinge just by opening it to place the phone. Reading the other review, I won't dare to buy a new one. Very disappointed.

Do not trust this to hold your phone in Portrait mode and do not trust it to hold your phone in landscape mod

I am so happy with the replacement I got. This one is super sturdy and the response I got from the company was very quick and automatic. Thankfully because of the warranty I registered made this exponentially quicker!

I love that this was thought of with the tripod and everyone in the house prefers to use the tripod more than any other method for propping up their phone. The first one lasted about a year then it broke. Got a replacement which is of the new design which I don't think is as sturdy as the original so now I'm nervous about using it much. I got a generic phone tripod for the household to use instead of PD tripod and this clip. Sad because the PD tripod is so much better but this clip is so expensive I don't want to risk having another break. Love the idea and hope PD improves the design to be more rugged. If PD would wanted some design ideas is volunteer to give feedback on different designs that might hold up better.

I've owned just about every PD product they've made. This is the first one that fell well below expectations. The concept is great. It's a little fiddly to use, but hey, it's tiny and fits inside the tripod, so that's to be expected. What I didn't expect was how easily it broke after a few uses. This needs to be an all metal construction, or carbon fiber, like the rest of the tripod. With as small and thin as it is, the components need a much higher tensile strength. I won't replace this till I'm sure it's better quality.

The first one that came with the tripod broke after a couple of uses. I have ordered a new one with the next order. And support said that the product was improved. But it broke the first time I took it in my hands. At the time I was using iPhone X, which is way smaller than modern phones. Such a disappointment. I do need that feature in the tripod. But I am scared to get a new one. Probably a waste of money. Believe it or not, this small thing has stopped me from getting other products from pd.
