MagForce Tripod Phone Mount, Portrait & Landscape
Our Review
Moment MagForce Tripod Phone Mount — turn any tripod into a travel filming rig in seconds
The gist: For nomads who film sunsets, hikes, or city timelapses on the road, this magnetic mount swaps clumsy tripod clamps for a snap-on-and-go attachment.
- No clamp needed: A strong MagForce magnet snaps the phone onto any standard tripod head, with or without a case, so packing light doesn't mean leaving the tripod home.
- 180° pivot with lock: Tilt from straight up to straight down for astro, drone-style overhead, or low-angle shots, then lock the thumb screw so the frame holds while you step away.
- Portrait/landscape rotation: The long-arm version rotates between orientations without unscrewing anything — handy when you're switching between a landscape shot and a vertical clip for social.
- Removable cold shoe: Pop on a mic or light for interview-style content, then remove it for a compact setup when you're just shooting B-roll.
MacRumors' review of Moment's magnetic tripod mount called the aluminum build "lightweight but offers a super strong magnetic grip," and found it "much quicker and easier to use" than clamp-based mounts for portrait shots and long exposures.
Best for: Travelers who want a fast, reliable way to mount a phone on any tripod for landscapes, timelapses, or vlogging. Skip it if: you're shooting around small kids or in a crowd — a hard bump can knock a magnetically-held phone loose. Runs ~$70 — check the current price before buying.
