Affordable tripod for 11 Pro Max with case

[spiderman0616]

Can anyone give a recommendation for a good tripod I could use with my 11 Pro Max? Here's my general use case for a tripod:

I am NOT a professional photographer, but at holidays or big family get togethers we like to get a big family photo. This happens once or twice a year. Both my family and my in-laws usually ask me to do it because they know I'm always the nerd with the newest iPhone, and I always end up having to prop my iPhone up on a stack of books or something. I want a tripod that I can use for those big group shots so I can stop with the book/box stacking.

I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max with a Speck Presidio Grip case on it. I do not want to remove the case to use the tripod, and I do not want to have to force the phone with case into the clamp that isn't really the right size--I'd prefer that it fits comfortably and that the tripod is stable and won't easily be kicked or blown over.

Anyone have any suggestions that they've used in the real world with good results?

Typically you can just get a normal tripod like one from Amazon Basics brand or such and then you buy a smartphone tripod clamp which is just a little clip that screws onto any tripod

I have this one. Works great. Can hold phones up to 3.9 inches wide which is plenty for a Pro Max. More sturdy than some of the cheaper ones on Amazon. Plus you can raise it to 70 inches high, while a lot of the cheaper ones only can rise to 48 inches.

This looks like a good candidate!

I do like the look of the kit @Packers1958 recommends. I also like this Reticam phone mount. It is very wide and can hold your phone perfectly, even if you put a thick protective case on your phone. https://www.amazon.com/RetiCAM-Smar...CDQXACGZ65J&psc=1&refRID=HSSC7WWJTCDQXACGZ65J

and then buy any tripod.

That does look like a good option. Thanks!

I’ve been using this. And it has been doing an amazing job. Also liking the mono feature.

All 3 so far are great for different reasons. I wasn't in the market and now I'm wanting one of those.
