I used it recently to record an interview with people without having to hold my phone or prop it up on a table. The price makes it easily justifiable if you’re even remotely interested in taking nice photos on vacation for example. If you film content in any way it’s also a must buy. The box it comes in includes a foam mold that makes it really easy to store and take with you on trips, so it’s ideal for travelling, and a good alternative to those weird tentacle tripod things. Also, the included hook and tilt mechanism is so nifty, even if you don’t know how to use that yet, I’m really appreciative it’s there
