Holding your phone for a whole live stream doesn’t work for long. The right mount depends on what you’re streaming: a tall tripod for standing and full-body lives, a desk stand for chatting, a gimbal if you move about, or an overhead arm for crafts, cooking or unboxings. Check the height and whether it has a cold shoe for a mic or light. (Here’s how we choose products.)
- Best overall: ULANZI MT-44 B (#1)
- Best for moving about: DJI Osmo Mobile 8 (#2)
- Best desk stand: Joby GripTight ONE Micro Stand (#3)

FAQ
What height tripod do I need for TikTok Live?
For standing lives, you want the phone at eye level – a 150cm-plus tripod like the K&F Concept (#4) or ANXRE (#5). For sitting at a desk, a small stand like the Joby (#3) is enough.
Is a gimbal worth it for live streaming?
Only if you move. The DJI Osmo Mobile 8 (#2) tracks you and steadies the phone; for static lives, a tripod does the job.
Can I add a mic or light to these?
The ULANZI MT-44 B (#1) and ANXRE (#5) list a cold shoe, and the TARION arm (#7) has a 1/4-inch ball head.
