This holder has worked good for me. The only issue that I have is with the size of the phone holder. I have a Iphone 16 Pro with the thicker Otterbox case on it. The phone holder can barely stretch far enough for me to cram my phone into it. I would suggest to make this part just a bit more wide.

Good quality. The only problem for me was the tripod legs that broke off after extended use.

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.

Works well. It doesn’t work as well with my case as I’d like. The space on the case with the clip is very small. A little flimsy, but its quite inexpensive, so for the price, a good tripod/selfie stick.

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.

Doesn’t support iPhones with Camera Button.

Sadly, while this mount was cheap, it wasn’t meant for the iPhone 16 or 17 lineup.
Had two main issues: weight balance due to the spring triggering the camera button and it not being wide enough to support the phone with an Apple Case.
The length of the tripod was fine. The remote, I think battery was dead but it was on and off.
I would find a better mount. Maybe a good MagSafe one if someone makes it.

When tripod to take steady Astro photographs and this was going to do. The stability is a bit flimsy and I just had to patient with myself. Sometimes it's a bit confusing when screwing the top.

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.

Tripod works, but a gimbal may be your best option

It’s lightweight, and in order to ensure that it doesn’t move from the stationary position you want to set it to, you must make sure that the fastener locking mechanism is secured tightly, because I’ve found it quite easy to accidentally adjust it due to the locking mechanism being less dependable than I was hoping for when I ordered it. A smartphone gimbal product option, as opposed to this product is my hindsight conclusion made here.

I’ve been using it for about a week now and have liked it so far. When you extend the pole out, the aluminum rod feels a wee bit fragile. You prob want to be pretty careful when extending it and retracting it as not to bend the rod. Other than that, it’s pretty nice. Helped me take a couple of time lapse videos on my phone.

Great phone tripod. We use it with the iPhone 12 max. Tight fit, but does hold up the phone. Not recommend to use with out handheld support. The wind will knock it over if left along. I’m sure for a smaller phone, that wouldn’t be a problem.

This tripod came with a ton of features that we did not need. It has various parts that attach to one another. It features the ability to be able to use with your phone, as well as with cameras. It had a long handle to use as a selfie-stick. The tripod could be short or tall. It gave us a lot of options for a small cost.

What do you expect for $13?

This little tripod is worth every penny. It has features that much more expensive tripods don't even have and includes a Bluetooth shutter remote that works like a charm. I would definitely recommend this for the amateur photographer.

I am a beekeeper who wanted a way to video/photography my hive inspections. Wearing gloves made using my phone for documenting my activities impossible. After reading reviews about the Bower tripod, I decided to make my purchase. The cost was reasonable and therefore worth taking a chance. It's perfect!! I can very easily start/stop a video or take a photo with one click on the remote. The tripod is light weight and easily fits in with the rest of my equipment. I'm so glad I made this purchase.

A fairly good phone tripod for the price. The only downsides are, that you can only film horizontal with your phone and that the tripod has to placed on an even surface.
