OMOTON Magnetic Phone Tripod, Aluminum

If you record quick clips, follow a workout on your phone, or need a hands-free screen at a desk, the OMOTON TP02 is built around easy repositioning rather than full-height support.

Its magnetic mount rotates and adjusts, while the folding design is meant to make it easier to carry between rooms or on a trip.

You’ll appreciate it if you want one compact stand for phone viewing and casual recording. It may not suit you if your setup calls for a taller tripod.

Best use cases

Use it for a video call at a desk, a hands-free recipe view in the kitchen, or a quick gym clip where you can attach the magnetic back to metal equipment. In tripod mode, it extends up to 9 inches, so it is better suited to tabletop-height framing and nearby surfaces than shots that need a high camera position.

The mount supports switching between portrait and landscape, which is useful when moving from a vertical social clip to a horizontal video without rebuilding the setup. For a travel scene, you could fold it down, pack it, then open the legs on a table for a quick recording. That’s a different use case from a full-size tripod designed to stand well above a desk.

Product specs

The TP02 is made from aluminum alloy and weighs 158g. It has a 360° rotating mount and three-axis adjustment, the listing describes up to 990° of adjustability. Its clamp grips surfaces up to 1.57 inches thick, and the magnetic back can attach to metal surfaces such as gym equipment, refrigerators, and metal doors.

The magnetic mount is described as compatible with iPhone 17, 16, 15, 14, and 13 Pro Max, other iPhone models, and MagSafe cases. An included magnetic metal ring is intended to extend use to Android phones and nonmagnetic cases. If your phone or case is not magnetic, that ring is an important part of the setup rather than an optional extra. The exact fit and hold will depend on how it is attached.

Where it shines

The useful detail here is flexibility in a small format: you can set it on a surface with the tripod legs, clamp it to a sufficiently thick edge, or use its magnetic back on a compatible metal surface. A workout video is an easy example—attach it to suitable gym equipment, switch the phone to portrait, and adjust the angle rather than balancing the phone against a water bottle or bag.

The aluminum build and foldable design favor carrying convenience, while the magnetic connection is intended to make mounting and repositioning quick. What tradeoff comes with that compact approach? The extension tops out at 9 inches, so it does not replace a taller stand when you need elevated framing or more reach. The listing also gives several ways to mount the phone, so it’s worth matching the method to your phone, case, and available surface.

Is it worth it?

On the spec sheet, the TP02 makes sense for someone who wants a portable phone holder that can handle tabletop recording, hands-free viewing, and occasional attachment to metal surfaces. The included ring broadens its stated compatibility beyond magnetic iPhones, and the rotating, adjustable mount offers more positioning options than a basic fixed phone stand.

The main compromise is height: at up to 9 inches in tripod mode, it is built for close-range setups, not a tall camera position. Choose it when compact carrying and multiple mounting approaches matter more than reach. If your priority is filming from higher up or covering a wider range of camera positions, a larger tripod is the more appropriate style of purchase.
