<summary>Question: What are the 5-in-1 modes — what can I actually do with it?</summary>
<div>
Answer: (1) Desk phone stand for video calls and FaceTime. (2) Handheld selfie grip. (3) Mini tripod (the legs fold out). (4) Mantis arm — angled overhead position for top-down product or recipe shots via the hidden hook. (5) Magnetic snap mode — the metal base sticks directly to fridges, light stands, or any ferromagnetic surface. This range of use is what separates it from a basic MagSafe desk stand.

<summary>Question: Does it charge my phone, or is it just a stand?</summary>
<div>
Answer: Passive stand only — no wireless charging. If you want a charging-capable MagSafe stand, pair MA38 with a MagSafe puck or pick a different product. The trade-off is that MA38 is significantly cheaper and offers more positioning modes than charging stands.

<summary>Question: How strong is the magnetic hold for an iPhone Pro Max?</summary>
<div>
Answer: The dual-magnet design holds more than 14N — enough for any current iPhone Pro Max with a MagSafe-certified case (1-3mm thickness). Maximum supported payload is 450g. Thick non-MagSafe cases will not hold reliably; use a MagSafe-compatible case or a magnetic adapter ring.

<summary>Question: Does it work with Android phones?</summary>
<div>
Answer: Only with a MagSafe-compatible magnetic ring or case (sold separately or sometimes included). Android phones are not natively magnetic. HMD and some newer Honor models with native MagSafe-style magnets work directly.

<summary>Question: Can it mount on a real camera tripod for more height?</summary>
<div>
Answer: Yes — the base IS an Arca-Swiss quick-release plate. Slot it directly into any Arca clamp on a full-size tripod for use as a phone holder on a proper tripod. This is unique among compact MagSafe stands.

<summary>Question: How is it different from Apple's official MagSafe charger stand?</summary>
<div>
Answer: MA38 is a stand only (no charging) and is significantly cheaper. Apple's solution charges but is fixed-angle and desk-only. MA38 gives you 5 modes — desk stand, handheld grip, tripod, overhead mantis arm, and magnetic snap-mount — plus an Arca-Swiss plate base for tripod attachment. Weighs just 108g.
