A device designed for stabilizing mobile phones, particularly smartphones, often incorporating a quick-release or magnetic mechanism for secure and rapid phone attachment. These supports typically feature three legs for freestanding stability and are used in various applications, such as photography, videography, live streaming, and hands-free viewing.
The stability offered by these supports improves image and video quality by reducing blur caused by hand movement. They also allow for consistent framing and positioning, which is beneficial for time-lapse photography or group photos. Historically, such supports evolved from larger camera tripods, adapting to the increasing sophistication and capabilities of mobile phone cameras.
