Tripods & Gimbals
A mounting ecosystem built to camera-gear standards, for cyclists and photographers.
Tripods & Gimbals
Night mode, long exposures and 4K video all reward a camera that isn't moving. A small tripod costs less than a case and does more for image quality than any lens attachment. A gimbal goes further for video, actively cancelling the walk-wobble that marks handheld footage.
Where it wins
Transforms night and long-exposure shots. Gimbals make walking video watchable. Bluetooth remotes end the timer scramble.
Where it costs you
Gimbals need charging and balancing. Small tripods blow over in wind. Another thing to carry.
What to check
Check the phone clamp opens wide enough for your phone in its case — many older clamps don't. For video, decide honestly whether you'll carry and balance a gimbal, or whether a mini tripod you'll actually take with you is the better buy.
