Functional Tripod, but Not Professional Quality

I think it’s pretty functional for basic use. This tripod does the job, but honestly the quality isn’t very good. The main issue is that when you try to use the camera in horizontal (landscape) mode, the mount doesn’t keep the position stable, so the shot doesn’t come out right. But if you want to use it for vertical shots, it works perfectly.

I recently purchased the JOBY TelePod Mobile Vlogging Tripod from Best Buy, and it has been an excellent addition to my vlogging setup. This versatile tripod can be used as a selfie stick, monopod, elevated stand, or tripod, making it perfect for capturing stable and professional-looking videos. The build quality is robust and durable, yet lightweight enough for easy portability. Setting it up with my phone was quick and hassle-free. Best Buy’s service was top-notch, with a smooth purchase process and prompt delivery. Highly recommended for vloggers and content creators!

Like all things that JOBY make it dose a good job. Thou with my Samsung fold2 i really push it to the limits. It would be great for light weight camers or small phones.

I should've known not to go with another Joby. I've had two GorillaPods which eventually came apart, through the years, so decided to try this pricier model. I do a lot of hiking and thought the compactness of this model would be an improvement over the GorillaPods. Mistake. First of all, the telescoping elements were very difficult to open and close. Then, just having used it for only a month, the clamp device which holds the phone broke both of its teeth. They're plastic, not metal. I have a standard iPhone 14 with a case, nothing unusual. Buyer beware.

I like this tripod for helping me take pictures with my iPhone. Glad that I got it assembled at the store but it did not appear to be difficult for anyone used to working with these things. It is a new skill for me to use it.

The item is just perfect: strong , light and easy to handle. The bluetooth click button pairs immediately with no hassle. The base is also stable on static places

Paired easily. It’s very light and stores compactly for all its varied positions. iPhone loads into the holder with greater ease than any I’ve had before. Tension is just right for a light duty tripod. I wouldn’t expect it to be steady in any wind but otherwise the build is good. The detachable remote is very handy away from the tripod and out of the way when attached. I’m happy.

Not Bad, remote works with my Phone. Lots of Plastic, seams ok. I owned it for a couple weeks now and not 100% happy with it, one you have to tighten the dumb screw, so camera won't move, it's almost always move. tripod is only something like 2 ft. high so not really high but ok, the remote holder now keeps popping out, so I have one more thing to worry about losing.
the biggest thing is Best Buy they don't have a lot in stock, and the ordering sucks. they say it will be there a certain time and it's NOT!
I'm waiting for a Camera that I ordered because they don't have it in Stock, Well I just got a email saying it's going to be DELAYED, I had my whole trip planed out and now I just canceled WAITING for the Camera. Thanks, BEST BUY!
Keep it up and you'll be just a Memorie of the past.

Yes, it’s a selfie stick, with remote, but it’s also a tripod, so you can set it up for Zoom calls. It’s light but solid, easy to use, and compact. I’m surprised how much I like it.

I personally did not like how this stand locked and unlocked on setting it up and preventing it from collapsing. If I moved the stand at all I would have to readjust, everything to make sure it stayed still. My previous one that broke was much easier to use. I use the mounts to talk to my LDBF, and this just wasn't easy enough for quick use and to move it around my house as we talk. I did return and buy a different one. If you plan to set up and leave it where you put it for the duration of use, then this is a solid mount.

Difficult to find a good retractable iPhone holder/stand but the Joby TelePod (Model: JB01550) does the job. I needed something quick and found, for the price, it is a good value: lightweight and sturdy. I do recommend that if using as a stand, attach it to a 2.5 lb or more shot bag to prevent a strong wind from knocking it over. Currently, I use the JOBY TelePod to hold my Logitech - 4K Pro 4096 x 2160 Webcam (also purchased at Best Buy). As for the remote it does NOT stay attached to the handle at all, so I highly recommend you get a separate keychain ring and make it detachable. That way you can put in your pocket for remote picture and or video control. The holder clip for the phone is a pressure clamp and is okay. Not great and definitely not action shooting grade. If you want something for that, I recommend getting a Bower WA-TM100 360° Rotating Smartphone Tripod Mount – always good to have in your gear bag.
