Victiv Magnetic Phone Tripod, 70-inch

Travel vloggers, solo creators, and anyone who often needs a steady phone position may find the Victiv magnetic phone tripod easier to set up than a basic selfie stick. It combines a magnetic mount with a separate phone holder, so you have two ways to attach a device.

It folds to 11.2 inches and extends to 70 inches, shifting between selfie stick, desktop tripod, floor tripod, and handheld use. That range suits a quick group photo as well as a fixed shot while you record yourself.

If you prioritize fast magnetic attachment and flexible framing, this setup has a clear appeal, if you prefer a simpler, smaller holder with fewer moving parts, its multiple adjustments may be more than you need.

Where it shines

The main advantage is being able to change framing without rebuilding your setup. The neck rotates 270°, while the head offers 180° and 360° rotation, making it easier to move from a portrait selfie to a landscape clip or an overhead product shot. For example, you could set it on a desk, point the phone down at an item you’re demonstrating, then turn the head toward yourself for a short explanation.

For travel, the combination of a 70-inch reach and a folded length of 11.2 inches gives you more height than a compact tabletop stand while still fitting a portable-tripod use case. It weighs 0.9 lb. The tradeoff is that a tall, adjustable stand takes more setup and space than simply propping a phone against an everyday object.

Highlights

The magnetic mount is designed for MagSafe-compatible iPhones and cases. An included magnetic ring extends the stated compatibility to Android phones and nonmagnetic cases, while the additional phone holder offers another mounting approach. That ring is an important part of the purchase decision if your phone or case does not attach magnetically on its own.

A 1/4-inch screw mount can hold an additional accessory, such as a sport camera or ring light, according to the maker. This is useful if your recording setup needs a second device or light, though those accessories are not listed as included. The rechargeable wireless remote can trigger multiple photos from up to 10m/33ft away, handy when the tripod is already positioned across a room or you’re stepping into a group shot.

The maker also describes extended legs and an integrated metal frame as stability features. Still, the listing does not provide a load limit, so it’s sensible to treat this primarily as a phone tripod rather than assume it will support heavier recording equipment on the extra mount.

Best use cases

This format is best suited to phone-first tasks: travel clips, selfies, video calls, gym recordings, live streams, and hands-free recording at home. You’ll appreciate it if you regularly switch between handheld, desktop, and full-height shots and want a remote for starting photos without touching the phone.

It may not suit you if you want a minimal stand for occasional desk calls, or if you need documented support for heavier gear. The extra mount broadens the setup, but the product information does not specify a supported accessory weight or describe care and cleaning instructions.

When it makes sense

Choose this tripod if you’ll use its height, rotating head, remote, or dual mounting options often enough to justify carrying a more adjustable stand. It’s particularly practical when filming alone: extend it for a full-body clip, frame the shot, then use the remote instead of walking back to tap the screen.

Skip the added flexibility if your usual shot is a quick phone selfie and a compact, straightforward stick is all you need. The Victiv’s strongest case is not simply that it holds a phone, it’s that one portable setup can cover several recording positions, provided the magnetic mount works with your phone or you use the included ring or holder.
