Tripod for Nokia Lumia 920

Lumia 920 is the flagship phone from Nokia running Windows Phone 8. One of the main features of Lumia 920 is the camera unit. The 8.7 MP camera has OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) feature along with low light performance. So one of the best accessory for your Lumia 920 is a tripod. There are many tripod available which suites the Lumia 920.

One of the good tripods available for Lumia 920 is iStabilizer Flex which is priced at $29.95. Another option would be to pick the Phoneboat slide which is basically a mount for phone which you can fix on the normal tripods. You can also pick up WOXOM Slingshot, which is a universal phone holder and a tripod.

Now, if you want a cheaper option for tripod, you can head over to eBay where you can pick one for around $6-7 and also there is free shipping for most orders. I bought the Mini Flexible Tripod Holder Stand Octopus from eBay and it is priced at $6.04 with free international shipping to most countries. Below are some of the images of the tripod.

The build quality of the tripod is just average and you get the feeling that too much pressure on the top mount might actually break it. The mount is a bit tight for Lumia 920 and is ideally suited for phones with width similar to iPhone. The top mount is removable and can be mounted on any standard camera tripod.

The stand with three legs and rubberized finish has much better quality than the phone mount. You also get the feeling that mount and stand are made of different quality plastics.

You can virtually fix this tripod on any surface and this is pretty useful when you do not have a flat surface for the mount.

A screw mechanism joints the mount and the stand and you can remove it easily to fix it on standard tripods. The mount is also stretchable to accommodate your phone.

When using Lumia 920 with this unit, one of the main issue is that the mount fiddles with the power button as it presses it hard resulting in screen showing power off option.

Size: Approx: 165 x 30 x 30mm.

Overall, the tripod does the job well even though it is not perfect or has the best build quality. It is a cheap alternative to the best ones available in the market. I would recommend this only to people whoso not want to spend too much money on the tripod.
