Tripods and mounts for phones, action cameras, and cameras.
Since the Ulanzi U-PAD III iPad mount only fits an iPhone in landscape, the ST-27 Metal Phone Tripod Mount is the phone-focused option. Solid all-metal aluminium with three 1/4-inch screw holes, I got mine for S$33.90.
I bought the Ulanzi U-PAD III Metal iPad Tripod Mount for S$41.67 during 12/12, down from S$49.90. The premium all-metal aluminium mount holds devices from 10 to 23cm, so it fits an iPhone in landscape too.
Looking for a cheaper alternative to the Xiaomi Mi Selfie Stick Tripod, I found the Yunteng version for half the price at S$11.54. The catch: its phone holder doesn't rotate, so switching orientation means unscrewing it.
Rather than buy a pricier projector stand for my LUMOS Auro, I got an OEM projector tray for my existing tripod. Bought on Lazada for S$14.87, it includes a steel tray, non-slip pad, and screw.
This Waterproof Monopod for GoPro is a plastic imitation of the aluminium Vicdozia. I grabbed it on Lazada for S$7.80 during the 12/12 sales. The rubber grip is non-slip, with a wrist strap, though it feels cheap.
I bought the GoPro Shorty alongside the Head Strap during Lazada's 12/12 sales, paying S$54, a 10% discount off its S$60 RRP. This mini extension pole and tripod stands 11.7cm closed, extending to 22.7cm.
I'd wanted the Xiaomi Mi Selfie Stick Tripod but felt its S$28.90 retail price wasn't worth it. During Xiaomi's Christmas promotion, the price dropped to S$19.90, so I finally bought one. It comes in two colours.
Glif is a smartphone tripod mount from Studio Neat. The original launched on Kickstarter in 2010, raising US$137,417, though I missed it. The second generation followed in July 2016, raising over US$208,000, and this review covers that version.
The GoPro 3-Way retails for S$100 in Singapore, but like the GoPro Jaws and The Handler, I bought it from Amazon for US$69.99. It's only about S$5 cheaper, yet still qualifies for AmazonGlobal Saver free shipping. It's my favourite mount.
Unlike the Sony HDR-AS20, GoPro doesn't use a standard tripod mount, so to attach it to a tripod you need the GoPro Tripod Mounts, retailing for S$20. I got mine from Click! by Max Photo at Funan DigitalLife Mall.
Despite selfies being everywhere last year, I never owned a selfie stick. Determined to find a good one while in Hong Kong last December, I chanced upon the Yunteng Monopod at SIMCITY in Mongkok, best-quality stick within my S$20 budget.

The Breffo Adventure Camera Tripod is a versatile tripod that can hang, grip, hold, or stand on almost any surface. Its soft-touch rubber coating makes it waterproof and durable, and I love its grip and friction on rounded surfaces.
Mobile Fun sent me a Mobile Phone Tripod Holder for review last month, handy for self-shot photos using your phone's timer or for shooting video. I'd expected flimsy quality on opening the package, but it actually turned out reasonably solid.
