The good folks over at G Design have modified their popular iPhone Tripod Holder (original review here) to accommodate the slimmer iPhone 4 handset. Now that the iPhone 4 is sporting a 5MB camera and HD video, more and more budding photographers and videographers are taking it more seriously.
Addition of rubber grips
This is basically the same holder that they made for the iPhone 3G/3GS, they merely added rubber grips (bumpers) on both sides to fill the gap and hold the iPhone 4 in place.
Yes, it holds it tight enough even upside down
Just like the previous model there is very little danger of the iPhone 4 sliding out and falling to the ground. As you can see here I've got it completely upside down. Although I can't think of too many times that I would need to mount it this way (sideways/landscape is fine), it's good to know that it holds it in place if I do.
Not only would this work well for your next photo/product shoot or video project, but it would also be handy for those extended FaceTime sessions.
You can get the NEW iPhone 4 Tripod Holder here from their site. You can get the GorillaPod featured above here.
I ordered this for my iPhone4 when it was mentioned in the comments section on one of your blog posts last week. I haven’t used it yet, but the iPhone4 fits solid and snug. Looks to be a great accessory, hope to try it out soon.
And the shipping was lightning fast, it was in my mail box 2 days later.
This is very nice for stills. However, I wish they would make something to support landscape orientation as well. That would be very nice for video.
Nice product and super fast shipping. I had an old desktop tripod laying around. I use the two together and with the legs of the tripod folded this helps hold the iPhone when used as a camera with camera +. It makes taping on the shutter release a lot easier.
This one looks cool – but it still seems like it’d be difficult to use with a standard tripod, because the mount is on the bottom, and if you want to shoot landscape video, the screw hole would end up being on the side of the unit.
I think that I still prefer my $7 eBay Mount: bit.ly/94im09
Oops, looks like that eBay link I posted above has ended … the iPhone 4 Tripod seller has relisted them though, still the same price and everything.
