    This tripod is great for on the go adventures. I brought 5 as Christmas gifts an the family loved them. Whether your taking selfies or family pictures the bluetooth connects to your phone easily and the handheld clicker makes the magic happen. No more setting timers and running to get in position. It's worth the money and it comes with a travel bag

    Found this and its a deal way worth the price. Use it all the time. Im not sayin its the best ever, but for the price, im getting this 9 times out of 10. Cool holding the phone, mine has never given me problems. The extension is cool and dont typically extend it too far. The tri-pod, i use for meetings and works very well. So its a good buy if you dont wanna spend lots of money.

    My phone flops all around on this thing. The remote and selfie feature works well so I guess if you don’t want to use it as a tripod and get to fancy with your angles it’s okay. You really do get what you pay for with this item.

    Craftsmanship, design and quality is nice. Just a few drawbacks: A thicker phone case may not sit securely in the mount. (Quad-Lock won't.) The adjustable head can be a bit finicky to get set and tight, but it does happen. And the "head" portion has a tendency to wobble slightly, so probably not the best for activities involving a lot of movement. Otherwise a very nice, well built product that will probably last quite a long time.

    Great product- used to hold my phone for photos in the national parks. We were able to capture full view photos in Zion, Bryce Canyon and the Grand Canyon. Highly recommend!

    It's a bit awkward to hold. I like the length of it, but for larger phones, it doesn't work very well. I have the Fold 4 and the S23, both of which are large, especially with their cases on. The picture button is ok though. I mostly use the tripod function.

    Nice tripod for basic use. The pole can be a tad wobbly when extended. Works good for stand alone videos. Decent product for a low price.

    I really am giving it a Four and Half Stars. Only because it could not hold the weight of my phone in its case. When I wanted to take a Selfie, it kept twisting downward. I could not fully extend the stick. I also had problems with The shuttle button. Every picture I took, you can see my hand because of me pointing it towards my phone. I like it, but I did not get much use of it.

    I actually really like this product. The fact that this turns into a portable phone and GoPro holder is awesome. It can even become a selfie stick. Perfect for blogging. But it doesn't end there, you can use it for a stable desk mount. Only concern was the possibility of a heavy phone tilting the top during recording but so far it has been stable. I recommend it!

    This tripod works as intended for mobile phone use in recording videos. It is definitely not sturdy enough for a professional brand camera with a heavy lens attached. The remote provided with the tripod works as intended when paired with Bluetooth on your mobile phone. I use it at music events I attend to do FB Live videos.

    I successfully used my tripod twice, but when i went to put my same phone in it today… the top part broke. Unfortunately, there is no Best Buy warranty on this product and its passed the return period so if i want another one (or a different one) then i have to spend more money on a new one. I suppose i shouldnt have went with one of the cheaper ones to begin with. It might make a difference if you have a smaller phone.

    Not much expensive but not good quality as it does not stand properly with my iPhone 13. falling on the side. Good for use as a selfie stick.

    Bought this tripod during the pandemic for virtual meetings and streaming. It is portable, and compact. The remote is a plus. The only problem with it is that with time, it becomes wobbly. With time, the pole tends to become loose so you will have a hard time adjusting and leveling the image. The tripod doesn't sit straight. Tried contacting Bower customer service after 2 months I bought and as of at the time of this review, have not heard back from them. It was good until it was new. After that, kind of disappointed, but still using it occasionally. I always get annoyed when I use it, until I get an alternative.

    keeps my head up high when reading from my phone

    I found that I held my phone up with my arm so I didn't look down at it and get neck ache and back ache, and I thought wouldn't it be a neat invention to have something that stuck into my recliner and held my phone up for me so my arm wouldn't get so fatigued. Then I looked at Best Buy and when I got to this product, it looked to me that my invention was already invented. So every morning I read from my phone in my chair, I close the legs of the tripod and put it down into my recliner and raise the phone to a comfortable level to read. Then when I need to read it at the computer, I pull out the legs like the illustration, and again I don't have to look down at the phone, because it is up at eye level. Even at the bank, I was able to use it to show the bank person what he needed to know from my phone on the other side of the glass. He said it worked really well for him. I've used it for a selfie stick, but daily use it to read from my phone.

    Im giving 3 stars because I bought one before and ended up losing and most likely leaving it at the gym. It was sturdy as much as it could be and i never had any issues with the Bluetooth. And i loved it, and it got the job done. I was sad when i realized i lost it. I decided to buy a new one since i liked it so much…and the quality is like night and day. The bar comes out of the bottom. And i have to take time to put it back in sometimes and its a fight. It likes to fall over, i dont know why that is an issue now. I havent changed phones. It is always crooked while recording. I cant get it to stay straight. I have messed with it a million times and no matter what way, it’s crooked. If you’re going to spend the $20 or $25 on this, i’d honestly suggest spending $50 on a half decent tripod at this point.

    Took this on a long trip to Asia and Europe and was good for handheld phone selfies and person-in- landscape shots using the remote. It’s inexpensive so build quality feels like it won’t last many more trips. If you are taking a trip and don’t expect to use it much afterward this is a good solution. Don’t try to use it with even a compact camera because it won’t handle the weight of anything more than a smartphone or GoPro.
