JOBY's new magnetic folding tripod collapses to just 9mm thin and weighs 70g. Built for creators who need a full-featured phone rig that disappears into their pocket.
NanoPod Magnetic Tripod (AC02).
Los Angeles, CA — JOBY, the brand that invented the flexible tripod with GorillaPod®, today announces NanoPod, a magnetic folding tripod designed for creators who want a capable phone rig that truly fits in their pocket. At just 70g and 9mm thin when folded, NanoPod is the most compact magnetic tripod JOBY has ever made.
NanoPod packs multiple shooting modes into a palm-sized form factor: a stable desktop tripod, an ergonomic handheld selfie stick, a low-angle briefcase mode for dynamic filming, and a magnetic mount that snaps to flat metal surfaces. A dual-sided magnetic system holds your phone on the front and accepts accessories on the back, turning a pocketable piece of gear into a versatile mobile production rig.
"NanoPod started from a single question: what's the smallest possible package that still lets a creator do everything they need? Tripod, selfie stick, magnetic mount, desktop stand — all in something thinner than most phones. That's NanoPod."
What Makes NanoPod Different
Most compact phone stands make you choose between portability and versatility. NanoPod refuses that trade-off. Here's what fits inside a form factor thinner than most smartphones.
Truly Pocket-Portable
NanoPod folds flat to just 9mm and weighs 70g — light enough to forget it's there until you need it. The slim aluminum alloy body slips into any pocket, bag, or backpack side pouch without adding meaningful bulk, so there's no excuse not to bring it.
One Tool. Every Angle.
NanoPod switches effortlessly between four core modes. Use it as a desktop tripod for hands-free video calls or live streams. Extend it into a handheld selfie stick for group shots and vlogs. Drop into low-angle briefcase mode for dynamic ground-level footage. Or snap it as a magnetic mount to any flat ferromagnetic surface — refrigerators, railings, metal panels — held firm by five N52 magnets built into the legs.
Phone in Front. Gear in Back.
NanoPod's dual-sided magnetic system does double duty. The front magnetic mount holds your phone securely with 14N of force, supporting quick switching between horizontal and vertical orientations. The back accepts magnetic accessories — fill lights, filter adapter rings, and more — so you can build a capable mobile rig without any added bulk. An included magnetic adapter ring brings compatibility to non-magnetic phones and cases.
Expand When You Need More
A standard 1/4" thread on the base connects NanoPod to any full-size tripod or selfie stick, unlocking new heights and reach. Thread on an optional cold shoe adapter and your phone can serve as an external camera monitor, or record a second angle alongside a mirrorless camera simultaneously, in both vertical and horizontal formats.
Precise Angle Control
A multi-axis folding structure with integrated damping lets you dial in your angle and hold it — no creeping, no slipping. Adjust once, and NanoPod stays exactly where you put it.
Handy for Everyone, Not Just Creators
NanoPod is built for creators AND everyday users who move fast and need gear that keeps up. Whether you're following a recipe in the kitchen, jumping on a video call, capturing a vlog, or setting up a compact live stream, NanoPod adapts to the situation.
