Bower - 6-in-1 Professional 36" Tripod - Black

Picked up one of these today for teleconference. Extends to 40 inches as a selfie stick with the tripod collapsing to form a handle. The phone holding spring is quite firm, you would need to work to dislodge the phone. Can mount a regular camera, and has a GoPro type adapter mount. Has a rechargeable Bluetooth fob button to snap pictures. Say at a birthday party, just set it on a table, reach into your pocket and shoot pics. I don't know if it will start and stop video yet because I'm a male dinosaur that won't read instructions. But I don't see why not.

I was mailed a used product, charged a new price, the product was scratched up, not in plastic rap, box tape was missing. I was appalled that Best Buy operates likeThis. Totally disappointed in the service, lack of quality and product.

Just received my everything works good wish it was a little bit more stable but besides that it's works perfectly fine

Love it, it is easy to use, quickly to pair and quite reliable. I carry this device everywhere I'm, at the beach, at the hotel at meetings and family gathering.. you name it.. many thanks. And for the price is worth it. And the best , is that has a long range signal via bluetooth.

Tripod seems fine, but remote is difficult. We have android phones and it won't pair. Instructions do not have troubleshooting, or guide on charging, if light should change color when pairing, or even a labeled on off switch. We do not know if light should go out when charged or if it stays on while plugged in. Instructions just say turn on and pair it. I might upgrade to better remote if I can find one.

While I personally would never buy one of these for myself, my wife is a fashion blogger and wanted it for her blog posts. She uses it mostly for indoor use with cellphone photos when I am not available for using a higher end camera. She really likes the included remote for this feature. I am not sure I would use the tripod outside on a windy day or uneven surfaces since base legs aren't wide, but for her purposes it is fine. She also likes that the tripod legs serve as the handle in selfie mode. I like its relative compactness for light travel and that it could be used as a monopod with our one of our cameras, but am still a little leery of doing so with our higher end camera's added weight. The gimble mount is sufficient for most phones and compact camera, but could be a little more stable for larger cellphones and some cameras.

I use this when I travel across the Atlantic ocean, because it is truly portable. It works well with my tiny action camera (Yi 4k) and my compact camera (Canon PowerShot S110). It takes up very little space and is very light weight. It can easily fit into my day bag used for touring. It's multi-functionality is another plus.

I couldn't get the little remote to work with my phone. The tripod is smaller than I thought, but then I probably didn't check the size. It is a good little tripod for phones, I haven't tried it with a camera.
