yAyusi Heavy Duty Aluminum Overhead Tripod 12 in 📱
Description:
This heavy-duty overhead phone mount combines a weighted base with a long adjustable arm to keep your smartphone steady for overhead shots, live streaming, cooking videos or document scanning. If you need an overhead phone mount for iPhone to record hands-free content, this stand offers a stable setup and reach that helps frame the workspace or countertop with fewer adjustments.
Key Points
The stand features a heavy aluminum base that adds stability when the arm is fully extended. The base includes rubber padding under it to protect surfaces and reduce slipping, which is useful when you work on a polished table or kitchen counter. 📷
The articulating arm extends and retracts to reach awkward angles, and the phone clamp rotates 360 degrees so you can switch between portrait and landscape without moving the whole rig. The arm also bends to allow true overhead shooting directly above a work surface, making it practical for recipe filming or craft demonstrations. 🎥
This model balances sturdiness with portability. Consider that the extended height range and the solid base mean it takes up some desk footprint, and the heavier base adds a bit of weight to move around.
Usage Recommendations
Position the base near the front edge of your desk or counter to maximize the overhead reach while keeping the setup stable. For direct overhead scenes, lower the arm until the clamp sits just above your working area and rotate the phone clamp to align the frame. For live streaming, set the phone at a comfortable viewing height between 11 and 32 inches and use landscape orientation for wider shots. When shooting close-up details, retract the arm slightly and adjust tilt to avoid glare or unwanted reflections. Also, tighten all adjustment knobs before recording to minimize drift during longer takes.
