Why Do You Need a Tripod?
A tripod offers a variety of shots for you to take on your iPhone that are nearly impossible to achieve handheld.
A tripod can stabilize your iPhone for videos, time lapses, macro photography, and portrait photography. Having a tripod as a stabilizer for your iPhone versus handheld allows the shot to end up being sharper. Especially when taking macro shots, using the Tripod as a stabilizer allows you to focus on the subject and achieve sharp & crisp results.

Unbox
As you open your box, you will find the tripod and the iPhone mount. Grab your tripod and pull down the legs. To expand the legs, twist the bottom grip (to the left) and pull it down. Twist the bottom grip in the opposite direction (to the right) to lock the leg into place. You will hear a clicking sound as you unlock and lock the position.
Set Up
Once you've found your ideal height, here's how to set up your iPhone mount: On the top part of your Tripod there are two black knobs, one is lower than the other. The lowest knob controls the turn direction of the head of the Tripod, allowing you to lock in the desired direction. The other knob controls the angle of the iPhone mount on the ball head & allows you to lock in that ideal angle.
