Every now and then an accessory comes along that ends up being far more impressive than expected. That is the case with the new JOBY GripTight Mount and Micro Stand. This small mount and tripod fold up to make a compact unit that can easily be carried on your key ring, but once opened up provides a great deal of useful flexibility if you use your smartphone for taking pictures or holding video chats.

The JOBY GripTight Mount and Micro Stand is as simple as it is useful.
There are just two pieces.
And they are small; really, really small.
And when you open then up they are still small. Really, really small.
