PopSockets Launches New PopMount for Taking Photos

[MacRumors]

PopSockets today announced the launch of a new PopSocket accessory, the PopMount 2 Photo. The PopMount 2 Photo is a stand that attaches to the back of a PopGrip installed on an iPhone, with the PopMount then able to be attached to any tripod.

Available in black, the PopMount 2 Photo is compatible with 1/4 20 tripods or tripod plates, so it is compatible with a wide range of accessories. It can also be used alone as a handheld stabilization device.

PopSockets says that the PopMount 2 Photo is compatible with all available PopGrips, and the simple design allows for mounting in either portrait or landscape mode with a PopGrip. The slim design is also ideal for travel.

PopSockets makes a range of other mounting options, including the PopMount 2 Flex and the PopMount 2 Car. The PopMount 2 Photo is available starting today and it is priced at $15.

One could get a lot of pleasure from a device like that. 🤣

I think most people are only going to be able to shoot portrait orientation with this. You can only shoot landscape if your pop socket is positioned exactly at center of mass, otherwise the heavier end of the phone will swing down.

Not in Germany 😕

Excellent point. I was excited until i read your post

$15? LOL. MacRumors suggestion are certainly only for the rich!


I can find any object on the street or at home to save $15 for a piece of plastic that costs probably a few cents.

Wouldn't it work just fine if it were rubberized and the force of friction were greater than the imbalance in the phone's mass?

Very unique...

It's either a spanner, or a cactus.

PopMount just sounds weird. The whole branding does. I wouldn't want to be the dad of this company

Still waiting for their Magsafe PopSocket.

If pop sockets didn’t rotate on their base, there’d be a chance, but they do rotate.

From your avatar, I guess you've tried it too?

OR it is fitting pressed hard enough and made from non-slipping material so it doesn’t rotate. I don’t know but might be the case

If it does in fact stay in place, this is an intriguing option as a camera mount. I’ve never understood the point of a pop grip but this might be a good use for it.

What are these things, training wheels for people with phones?

I bet it sells well for onlyfans stars.

If the pop socket is magsafe, then it will be in the center.

If the pop socket is magsafe, then it will be in the center.

I use an Otter + Pop Symmetry Case from Otterbox - I like that the popsocket is integrated, and its recessed into the case so flush when not in use. I've never tried the normal popsockets - seemed like they'd interfere with getting phone in/out of pocket.
