Can the tripod hold the phone side ways standing by itself or does it hold the phone straight up only to take pictures or videos?

Depending on how far you have extended the legs it can hold your camera in any position.

I always hold the tri; pod to steady it. The weight is all on the top.use voice to take pics.hope this is a help. In the pic of the lens it is sideways. There is as set screw on the top for this adjustment Jim

No the triod is very small but is useful keep camera steady on a table or cabinet. Taller tripods are not that expensive if you search online for one.

it is used instead of a tripod for camera mount. It is not as steady as a tripod but is useful when you don't have room for 3 legs. It also doubles as a walking stick.

Any handle/stick you see is attached to the sample tripod. The mount itself is simply the u-shape that adjusts to hold the phone and the part to attach it to the tripod.

Side the phone in the low end of the holder, the phones camera should be looking up.

the regular tripod I used for my camera works very well for the glif. I have both the tall tripod and the short one. Just push the button down so the glif will pass it as you are screwing it onto the tripod camera screw and you will be set to load your phone into the mount

Yes, you can mount right or left, and can also mount with your stabilizer or with the included hex bolt. You can move it somewhat to get it away from the grip and as long as you mount the phone vertically like the pictures, you shouldn't have an issue with the grip. I'm still testing with mounting the phone horizontally since You tube doesn't like vertical videos.

The part that holds the phone is on a ball joint, and you have the ability to turn the phone left, right, up and down. It works best if you clip it to horizontal air vents for the clips, this provides the best support. I have not tried it with vertical vents.

It does come with the spring loaded holder. You can slightly move the top portion of the tripod side to side but if the tripod is on a flat surface I'm sure it will fall with the weight of the phone.I had to wrap the tripod around something in order to shoot things in portrait mode.

The mount itself only holds the phone in landscape if your tripod is in the usual position. The mount will only hold the sides of the phone in portrait position. It does not open wide enough to grab the length of the phone. However, just as you must turn the tripod to get an SLR camera into portrait mode, this will be the same. I actually use this with my tripod turned to portrait position all the time because I use a small mini tripod and this mount to serve as a car mount for my phone. It's much more stable than any commercially available car mount that I hav seen.

yes but that is not reccomended. if you are holding it with your hands instead of tripod mounting it its lack of mobility will have you dead real quick

I believe you can swing the camera to your back. If left by your side, it would swing to your front if you bend over. Gravity wins. To keep the camera at your side, you would need to rig a snap to clip the camera to a belt loop. This of course would defeat the ease of swinging the camera up for quick photos.

Yes, the little Tripod is just a bonus I figured..... The bracket around the frame is the framwork for your phone to be able to put your phone on a tripod!

The phone should work sideways. (as does the iPhone when mounted.). The key would be aligning the lens so the support frame does not block it as your phone screen is viewed to take shots. I use a monopod with adjustable swivel head to take crisper images.

No, it doesn't angle that far down. Not a great tripod. Works fine for me - using it primarily to record musical practice sessions on my phone, but it is very lightweight and I'm not sure how good it would be for more intense use.

Nope, not even remotely. It's meant just for mounting phones or iPods on a tripod for photos and videos. The grip is spring loaded and doesn't lock or anything like that.

It only holds phones in the landscape position. That's why I find the gorilla tripod to be so useful, even the top mount rotates in all directions. If you need additional height, wrap it around something else, or as I do, another tripod :) I did look, but never saw anything that held a phone in both positions - at least not in this price range!
