Content Creators, These Are The 5 Tripods That We Recommend Under INR 1,999
Tygot Flexible Gorillapod Tripod
₹1999
A heavy-duty smartphone tripod that also doubles up as a DSLR tripod, it's a bang for your buck. Tygot's flexible, octopus-like wrappable legs are what we love the most — they can securely clasp any structure with ease. The rotating head with an angle lock is also quite useful because it lets you take photos and videos at any angle that you desire. It's lightweight and easily portable too, so store it in your backpack with ease.

Syvo Aluminum Tripod
₹3990
It's a beginner-level tripod that's mainly for cameras but it comes with a smartphone holder making it a piece of versatile equipment to have in your hands. We don't recommend it for cameras because it can only support up to 1.5 kgs, but for a smartphone, this is truly good. It's got a built-in bubble level to help you keep the tripod levelled and the 360-degree swivel with the three-way head. It can extend up to a height of four feet, so that's convenient too.

Vloggers, YouTubers, and Instagrammers this smartphone tripod is for you. The 10-inch ring light ensures that you look fly in your videos and also get that famous ring light reflection in your eye. The warmth of the light can be adjusted too. The tripod can be adjusted to a height of up to 50-inches and the 360-degree rotation is perfect for panoramic photos as well as recording videos or taking photos at any angle in vertical and horizontal directions.

It's the priciest of the lot but it's also one of the best smartphone tripods that we've used. Use it to take selfies, videos or even to watch something. Even while you are on a WhatsApp call with your friends and want to keep your hands free, this is perfect.

Mi Selfie Stick Tripod
An LBB Crew favourite, this smartphone tripod has been used to shoot videos such as this and this. It's quite sturdy and features a tripod and monopod option -- the monopod is what makes this into a selfie stick. The adjustable phone holder has a 360-degree rotation meaning you can take both landscape and portrait videos with ease. It's quite compact too and it comes with non-slip cushions underneath to keep the set-up steady. Oh, and it's got a separable Bluetooth remote too to capture photos remotely. It's pretty cool. The collapsible arm can extend up to 51 metres, so that's also pretty cool.
