As someone who has been trying to start a YouTube channel on and off for over half a decade now, trying to find the right combination of amateur-friendly filming equipment that doesn’t absolutely destroy my bank account has been a continued source of stress.
I realised a few years back that any Apple device after the iPhone 12 is capable of recording crisp video that’s perfect for posting, so since then I’ve been on the hunt for the right accessory to pair with Apple’s ecosystem.
Admittedly, I’ve had no shortage of combinations to try out, having reviewed picks like the ShiftCam SnapGrip, which turns your phone into a compact camera, as well as Insta360’s many smartphone gimbals. While robust in their own way, these accessories have often felt cumbersome to set up every time I’ve wanted to film a video.
I started to wonder if maybe I’d made the wrong decision in choosing an iPhone as my video recorder of choice, that is, until a very nifty, highly compact and MagSafe-compatible accessory fell into my lap: the Moft MagSafe Stand.
Reader, believe me when I say that this little gadget has completely changed the game for me, and it’s now discounted over at Amazon for Prime Day.
Thanks to the ongoing Big Deal Days sale, you can now pick up the Moft MagSafe Stand for the superbly low price of just £31.99, making for a slick 20% discount on its original £39.99 asking price.
There aren’t too many iPhone accessories that I absolutely swear by, but the Moft MagSafe Stand is one of them

What’s even better is that the offer is available for every colourway of the stand, including Jet Black, Seafoam, Peach Pink and my personal favourite, Misty Cove.
US readers can also make use of the deal as it’s been made available on Amazon US for $31.99 (20% off). Just bear in mind that regardless of which site you’re buying from, you need an active Amazon Prime membership in order to access the deal.
While Moft hasn’t officially confirmed that the MagSafe Stand can work with the Pixel 10 range’s PixelSnap feature, we would be surprised if it didn’t, given that most other MagSafe accessories can work with Google’s device.
Just like any good MagSafe accessory, Moft’s Stand simply snaps onto the back of your iPhone and barely protrudes when attached. When it does come time to start filming, you simply fold out the stand in two easy steps and voila, you have a stable footing to film clear to-camera footage whenever and wherever you want.
When you’re reviewing the footage after the fact, you can always open up the stand halfway and use it to prop up your iPhone on a desk, making it easy to edit with one hand.
There aren’t too many iPhone accessories that I absolutely swear by, but the Moft MagSafe Stand is one of them, and for any budding content creators out there, I cannot recommend it enough.
