This stand is primarily designed for iPhones or phones with a Magsafe adaptor.You basically have a magnetic ring to attach to your phone and then an adjustable/foldable tripod that lets you use various leg configurations and angles to create a variety of different stand options. You could have a z-shaped stand, a tripod, or a selfie stick. Depending which option you choose, you have different degrees of stability and maneuverable for different angles.I really like how portable the stand is, especially when you consider how versatile and functional it is. I think that it's perfect for travelling or taking down the gym. Because of how small it is, it's also very inconspicuous, so you don't draw attention to yourself in the same way you would with a larger tripod.Everything seems to be metal and well build. As such, it's very strong and even having dropped it a few times now, it works fine and looks basically as new. I'm sure it will last a very long time.Finally, I'd just add that it's very easy to use. You can quickly pull and rotate various parts of the stand with little effort and then fold it back on, slip it in your pocket and continue on until you need it again.
