Smartphone A sturdy plastic phone clamp is supplied, along with a Bluetooth remote shutter release that can be clipped onto one of the legs.
Carry case A padded nylon case is in the box, with drawstring closure/carry handle. But there's no pocket for the accessories.
Spikes The rubber feet can be pulled off and replaced by screw-in ground spikes. But then the monopod leg doesn't retract as far as the other two.
Weight hook A sprung, retractable hook can be used to hang your camera bag beneath the tripod for extra stability.
One of the advantages of mirrorless cameras is that they can be smaller and lighter than DSLRs. This is particularly true of APS-C and Micro Four Thirds models, as their lenses are also generally more compact. This allows you to downsize the rest of your kit and potentially use a lighter tripod.
