This Tripod Grip Under ₱1,000 Turns Your Phone Into a Pro Camera Setup

Camera grips for phones are rising in popularity, thanks to a growing trend where flagship smartphones have evolved into fully functional point-and-shoot cameras. Manufacturers are not only enhancing camera hardware but also releasing dedicated accessories, a photography kit that transform smartphones into near-professional tools.

However, not all smartphones are created equal. While some models come equipped with superb camera hardware and are marketed as camera-centric devices, others feature more standard cameras, yet still produce impressive photos and videos.

By customizing these standard smartphones with something as simple as a camera grip, users can enjoy a shooting experience that feels closer to using a dedicated camera. And among the many options available, Ulanzi offers one of the best bang-for-the-buck solutions with the Ulanzi JJ02. It’s more than just a grip—it also functions as a desk tripod and a selfie stick.

At first glance, the JJ02 might resemble other mini tripods. But once you pick it up, you’ll notice the quality. Made from durable ABS plastic with rubberized grips, it feels solid and comfortable in hand. The legs fold together to form a secure handheld grip for vlogging or selfies, and they lock firmly when spread out in tripod mode.

A standout feature is the integrated cold shoe mount on top—perfect for attaching a microphone or LED light. It’s a subtle but essential addition for content creators and everyday users who rely on compact mobile setups.

The Ulanzi JJ02 is a versatile yet simple tool, offering multiple functions in a single device:

• Tripod – The legs spread evenly and are stable enough to hold your phone securely.
• Camera Grip – With the legs folded, it transforms into a comfortable, ergonomic handheld grip.
• Cold Shoe Mount – Lets you attach accessories like microphones or small lights.
• Wireless Camera Remote – Comes with a removable Bluetooth shutter remote, allowing you to take photos from a distance.*

* The wireless Bluetooth remote uses a CR1225 3.0V 48mAh button battery, offering up to 360 days of battery life, 60+ days in sleep mode, or up to 24 hours in continuous use. It supports iOS, Android, and HarmonyOS devices.

For just under a thousand pesos, the Ulanzi JJ02 Grip Tripod with its lightweight construction at just 110 grams, it delivers outstanding value for mobile creators and casual users alike.
