This is the English edition of a review from my Japanese YouTube channel, iestaLife. I review gadgets from my home studio in Japan, so product links go to Amazon Japan.
Quick take
I tried OMOTON’s MagSafe tripod stand to see how it works as an all-in-one holder. It handles four jobs, tripod, selfie stick, clamp and magnetic stand, in one metal body. It is a handy thing to keep in your bag when you travel.

What I tested
- OMOTON MagSafe stand with a built-in tripod and selfie stick
- Used it with an iPhone 17 Pro Max in a case, and weighed it
What I found
- It works four ways: open the legs for a tripod, extend the shaft for a selfie stick, slide the base to clamp it onto the edge of a desk. The magnet on the back also lets you stick it to a metal surface.
- It is almost entirely metal, with solid joints. The hinges are a little stiff, but once you set the angle it stays put, even with an iPhone attached. It feels less fragile than plastic stands.
- The MagSafe mount rotates, so you can flip from portrait to landscape with the phone attached. You can fine-tune the angle whether it is standing as a tripod or clamped onto something.
- It weighs about 160 g. Together with an iPhone 17 Pro Max and case, the total is about 440 g. Not ultralight, but light for something that doubles as a tripod and a selfie stick.

Where I can see it being useful:
- Watching videos while waiting at an airport or station
- Video calls or work at a hotel or café
- Selfies, family photos and vlogging when sightseeing
- As a stand on an aeroplane tray table
Who it’s for
If you want to travel light and still cover filming, photos and video watching with one accessory, this is a good one to have. Its weaknesses are slightly stiff joints and a bit more weight than a lightweight stand.
The video is in Japanese.
Limitations
This is based on my own use with one iPhone and case. Weights were measured on my own scale. I did not test it with heavier phones or for long-term durability.
