    Nice little gadget, small and packable. Can use for tablets, cell phones, GoPros, small cameras or video cameras. Though the latter might be a bit heavy. Nice lityle feature is the remote for when youre using the srlfie stick extender. And if you want yo set up on a table.

    bluetooth click works well. I with it had a way to hold the phone vertically and not just horizontally. It comes with some sort of attachment and the images looks like you can do different things but the box has no instruction on how to use that add on for different shapes and sizes of cameras. a little unstable for holding the phone because it tents to lean at an angel. Also must be very careful on how you position the tripod because it can easily topple over given most phones don't sit in the middle because of side buttons, they have to be offset. On about the 10th time using it the pole that extends completely came out and would not go back in. It has little locks but I guess twisting it to set it up or something had shifted it to be unlocked. It would not go back in, but then I had an aha moment... because it is telescoping it might need to go up from the bottom. I unscrewed the top part and was able to put it back in and made a note to self to not pull it all the way to the top of the tripod underneath to avoid that issue in the future. For the price a good deal.

    Recording Classroom Lessons

    Very convenient when recording videos around 3-4yr olds. I was able to use this in my classroom to record lessons. Easy to assemble, Bluetooth remote was convenient when starting video away from phone, and ability to extend and change heights was a major plus. It is a nice size and was not a distraction to my students. Worked well with my iPhone 8

    I was about to write a horrible review on this thing until I figured out I was being a moron. After figuring out what I was doing wrong though I have to say this is a pretty nifty device. I most definitely would NOT recommend this if you want to use it with a professional digital SLR camera. It will be a pain to get it to stand sturdy and not wobble, but if you have a just want to take some great pictures with your iPhone or a point and shoot digital camera this is definitely a viable option. I love how you can just throw it in a bag and it doesn't take a lot of space.

    Convenience with some performance trade-offs

    Overall, this tripod is a conveniently designed, affordably priced, light weight accessory that will take up minimal space in any backpack. It is a flexible accessory due not only to its size and weight but also its multi-use design to accommodate various types of small cameras. I have given this tripod a generous 4 star rating which may a bit of a stretch due to some limiting factors in its design which include: the spring in the phone clamp is too strong and will leave marks on soft phone cases (a screw adjustable clamp would be better); the short legs with some flex make the tripod unstable at full extension in all but the most protected positioning with the lightest cameras.

    The built quality of the tripod is average. When I fixed my iPhone 14 pro max to take a photo using the tripod , the tripod couldn't stand and was about to fall every time I tried it. The tripod needs extremely flat surface and without breeze to stand straight with a heavy phone. So basically only light weight phones are suitable for tripod use. In Selfie stick mode, the remote worked very well and overall also its good in selfie stick mode.

    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.

    It is good. Especially for traveling. I used it in a solo trip and every time I travel people always wanna know where I got it from. It's great to use at the airport for those waiting times. Works as a holder to watch programs while sitting comfortably. And I use it everyday for those facetime calls. And of couse to take solo pictures. I had it for over a year already and it works great. Only dislike is that I have an Iphone 14 Max an it seems to be a bit heavy for the holder so it loosens up and got to balance the tripod, but at the end it stills holds it. 9/10 recommend.

    Surprise performance due to its Height

    I was looking for a capable yet affordable tripod that could offer a good working height, and the 6.1 Professional 36" Tripod exceeded my expectations. For its compact folded size and reasonable price, the stability and rigidity at full 36" extension are remarkable. It handles my mirrorless setup with ease, providing the solid foundation I need for sharp images. If you're looking for a dependable, easy-to-use tripod that punches above its weight, you won't be disappointed with this one.

    Flimsy as a stand. Great as a Selfie Stick

    This is a neat dual purpose tripod. I initially wanted something that can hold my iPhone XR to record as a stable platform tripod. I picked his up hoping this would meet my needs. After a couple weeks using it, here are my thoughts: Pros: - Dual Purpose: This can work as a Tripod or as a Selfie stick. It comes with a remote control that you can pair with your phone. Setting up is pretty simple and straight forward, but I found myself using the selfie stick set up more than the tripod. - Phone Security: Your phone is not going anywhere. The grip is well built and I'm glad that I know it is secured. -Grip Accessories: this comes with 2 connectors to choose from on how you have your phone set up: Portrait or Landscape. Cons: - Tripod set up. It will tip over. I was disappointed in this that it is not stable. I nearly broke my phone because it almost fell over. Also, it only extends up to 3 ft high, therefore you have a "looking up" set up when you are recording yourself. - Grip does not extend enough: If you have a iPhone Plus (6 on up), you have to take it out of it's case and have the phone fully exposed in the grip. The clamps will not extend enough to hold your phone in a case. I normally use an Otterbox and it will not extend enough to hold your phone in the case. Overall, it's a decent 2-in-1 design. I just wished that it would at least extend a little higher than the 3 feet, but as a selfie stick it's perfect.

    Works pretty well! I ended up purchasing a different cell phone holder since mine is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and is so thick. For me, it works better when I detach the remote. That way the stick doesn't shake as I am trying to take a picture. I have not tried to use it as a tripod.

    Great Selfie Stick/Tripod for the Price

    Really easy to use selfie stick and tripod. It collapses into a pretty small size so it's easy to carry and travel with. The phone attachment can be a little janky and it isn't as stable the higher you make the tripod, but overall, for the price, it's perfect and very easy to use.

    It truly does feel like a 6 in 1 tripod. Great for selfies, vlogging and photo shoots with phones and go pros and has the mount adapters for them. However for heavier camera models I felt it kinda weak but that could just be my perspective, it doesn't fall short for being almost versatile with any recording device.

    Nice solid tripod. Only giving 4 out of 5 based on the fact that once again if your phone has a case on it, it does not easily fit in the bracket. Also when in selfie stick mode it was difficult to get the mount positioned correctly with the weight of the phone causing movement in the joint. Easy to pair and operate in tripod mode.

    Remote is Best Feature

    Compact tripod worked well for shooting short videos, though it can be a bit top-heavy when the phone is in a vertical position. We had to brace it with some books to keep it level. Best feature is the remote, which eliminates the awkward few seconds of starting and stopping the recording. No need to take time to edit those out, as the remote allowed for a smooth stop and start.

    Stand is very small and easy to fit in luggage or edge of trunk of car and remote attaches to stand for safekeeping. This stand is super helpful for ensuring everyone is in the group shot. It allos your camera phone, especially, to focus better than using a timer alone. ** Careful if using outdoors on a windy day, the tripod is light and could tip. Fine on a beach, where you can bury in the sand to stabilize. **

    I have only used this twice in the tripod mode and dabbled a little with the selfie stick use. I bought this mainly for the tripod aspect so I can film myself opening packages. Yes, we are in that age where scammers have made this a necessary thing...Anyways, functions as expected. The selfie stick seems to be well made and easy to use. Easily able to take family photos if you want. The camera button is easy to pair with your phone.

    I-Phone Tri-pod Camera

    It’s a good size and it works for taking photos from far away with the remote control, however if it not on a completely flat concrete or level surface it’s a struggle to keep it from falling over. I tried using it to take photos while on a hill but I struggled for a few minutes trying to manage to keep it from falling over from the base not being able to compensate for the weight of the phone (I have an IPhone for reference) Other than that the photos taken were very nice and I did not have any issues as of yet with the camera!

    Quick little tool that works well as selfie stick or small tripod. The detachable remote is great! It holds its charge well. Material isn’t the best but for the money, it isn’t bad. I have a full size tripod and this is no replacement for it but it definitely is useful and fun for times when you don’t want or need the big tripod. It’s small and portable. It’s a fun thing to have at a party.
