If you’ve seen those satisfying POV cooking videos, hands-free unboxing clips, or “come with me” vlogs on TikTok and wondered “how are they filming that?” — chances are it’s one of these. The TELESIN Magnetic Neck Mount is a wearable phone holder that hangs around your neck and gives you a first-person camera angle, completely hands-free. At $26, it’s become the go-to gadget for creators who want cinematic POV footage without a crew.
Key Features at a Glance
- 12-magnet quick-release system: Snap your phone on and off in seconds using strong neodymium magnets. Works natively with MagSafe (iPhone 12+) and includes an adhesive magnetic plate for Android.
- Adjustable viewing angle: Rotate and tilt the mount to get the exact POV angle you want — looking down at your hands, straight ahead, or slightly tilted.
- Lightweight and comfortable: The flexible neck band distributes weight evenly. Most reviewers say they forget they’re wearing it after a few minutes.
- Anti-lost safety rope included: A backup tether clips to your phone case for extra peace of mind while moving around.
- Works with phones and action cams: Compatible with most smartphones, GoPro, and DJI action cameras.
What We Love
The magnetic attachment is fast and secure. For MagSafe iPhones, you just click the phone onto the mount and you’re filming in under 3 seconds. No clamps, no screws, no fiddly adjustments. The 12-magnet array holds phones firmly even when you’re walking, cooking, or gesturing — reviewers consistently praise the hold strength.
The POV perspective it creates is the real selling point. It captures exactly what your viewers want to see in recipe videos, DIY tutorials, crafting content, and “day in my life” vlogs — your hands doing the thing, from your natural viewpoint. It’s the same angle that professional chest-mounted GoPro rigs achieve, but for your phone and at a fraction of the cost.
At $26, it’s dramatically cheaper than phone tripods with overhead arms ($60-100+) and infinitely more portable. It folds flat, weighs almost nothing, and fits in a jacket pocket.
Things to Consider
Video stabilization depends on your phone. The mount itself doesn’t have a gimbal — so if you’re walking briskly, footage can get bouncy. Pairing it with your phone’s built-in stabilization (or a stabilization app) helps significantly, but don’t expect gimbal-smooth footage while jogging.
For Android users without MagSafe, you’ll need to stick the included magnetic plate to your phone or case. It works fine, but it’s a permanent adhesive — something to factor in if you switch cases often.
Who Is This For?
This is built for content creators, home cooks who film recipes, craft/DIY creators, and vloggers who want hands-free POV footage without investing in expensive equipment. It’s also surprisingly useful for video calls while cooking or doing chores. If you create any kind of how-to or lifestyle content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts, this is a near-essential tool at a throwaway price.
The Verdict
The TELESIN Magnetic Neck Mount won’t replace a proper gimbal or tripod setup, but it’s not trying to. It fills a very specific niche — quick, hands-free POV filming — and does it well for $26. For content creators shooting recipe videos, unboxings, or daily vlogs, it’s one of those “why didn’t I buy this sooner?” gadgets.
