5 iPhone Tripods for Perfect Vine Videos

By now, you're sensing that Twitter's new social video site Vine has true addictive potential. You can't remember the last time you took a Foodstagram, because you're too busy making time-lapse videos.

We're way ahead of you. Check out these sweet tripod stands designed specially for iPhones and available on Amazon, all for less than $20 apiece. Is it worth it to take your Vine game up a level? We think so.
