XShot: An iPhone Tripod Case You May Actually Use
Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, case, iPhone, Today's Chili
The XShot is yet another iPhone tripod-mount, but it is also one you might actually take with you. A hard shell case covers the sides and back of the phone, and can be left in place if you’re the case-toting type. In fact, apart from a chubby little growth on the lower left side, there’s not much to distinguish the XShot from any other case.
But there’s a trick! The tripod screw is contained in a separate widget, and this clips into either the bottom or the side of the case when needed, hence that unsightly hump.
It’s actually a great idea, and would pair up nicely with a small Gorillapod – it’s kind of silly to carry a full-sized tripod just for your phone after all. And if you don’t have a Gorillapod, you can use the included flexible tripod that comes included with the XShot. And then you should do buy a Gorillapod.
The XShot will be available later this month, for a reasonable $25.
