Review: Capta tripod mount/stand accessory for smartphones

I first heard of the Capta through Kickstarter and though I missed getting in on the funding campaign before it closed, it remained on my list as an accessory to check out. As you probably already know, I do record video reviews and I’ve been getting a little tired of the cheap and flimsy plastic clamp tripod mount that I’d been using with my iPhone. Fortunately, BiteMyApple.co offered me a Capta to review and I’ve used it to record a few videos and get a feel for how well it works.

If you’re not familiar with the Capta, it’s an aluminum tripod mount and stand accessory for the iPhone or any other smartphone or smartphone-sized device. It has an über sticky polyurethane pad used to secure your smartphone and a ¼-20 threaded hole to mount on a tripod or any other accessory with a stud this size.

Here’s my video review of the Capta:

If the video is TL;DR for you, here’s my summary:

Pros:

• It’s very light and portable for use on the go
• Super sticky – will not let go of your device!
• Works with a variety of devices
• Well-made, should last for years

Cons:

• Almost too sticky, though I’d rather it be too sticky than not sticky enough and drop my iPhone
• $34.95 feels a little expensive for what it is but it can be an essential tool if you need a versatile tripod mount

If you’d like to buy the Capta, you can get it from BiteMyApple.co or from Amazon.
