The lenses included with this kit do not fit well on my Galaxy S7 with a case on it. Other than that it has lots of mounting configurations for good flexibility.

To be a selfie stick is too heavy. I tried it on my iphone 6 plus and it did not fit.
I will return it

awsome selfie stick & Tripod

1. Super strong yet lightweight aluminum pole construction: This thing is very solid and durable. I love how the pole twists to tighten/loosen and extend/contract.
2. Remote control: I really like the separate remote control feature of this selfie stick. One of the key benefits here is that the battery is going to last an incredible amount of time (it's like the battery in your car key fob). This is super nice inasmuch as I'm not going to have to constantly run this thing back to the charger like with most other selfie sticks.
3. Added accessories: The mini tripod that is included is awesome. I love that I can use it with the selfie stick itself, or separately with my GoPro or other camera.
4. GoPro ready: It's so nice to finally have a selfie stick that accommodates not only a smartphone, but also my GoPro and other cameras. And because this thing is made of a sturdy aluminum pole I don't have to worry about losing my gopro.
5. Super easy to mount phone: The spring action gripper makes it a piece of cake to pop the phone in and out of.
Overall this selfie sticks stands out from the crowd due to its high quality and super sturdy aluminum construction, as well as the great tripod and gopro ready accessories that it comes with. The remote is also a huge added bonus from a convenience and battery life perspective. I love this selfie stick for these reasons and would highly recommend it.

ReTrak - Ultimate Selfie Stick Kit - Black

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The ReTrak - Ultimate Selfie Stick Kit - Black is an awesome kit, I bought it on sale for $19.99 (Reg. $49.99), I also had my reward coupon and got it at an even lower price for $15.00 a total savings of $35.00. This product has been really helpful for me in taking selfies, and I really like the easy to use remote control. I am very impressed with this product, it's great for anyone to use without help. I'm just getting used to taking photos and love taking pictures. All the extra things that come with this selfie stick kit is everything you could ever ask for. No more asking a friend or stranger to take pictures using your cell phone or Tablet. I was so fortunate to get this selfie kit on sale, it was on sale at a higher price the day before on the "Deal of the Day" so I'm glad I saw it again on sale lower the next day. The package itself contains sturdy, well built cradles to hold a cell phone or tablet. The video light probably works best at very close distance, but it works well. The selfie stick works directly with the provided kit items that come with it or you can mix and match it with other products, The remote is excellent when used with the free BT Shutter app. Everything you need is in this kit. You can't go wrong with using this product. It's a very nice product for your cell phone or small tablet. I enjoyed using it and would recommend it to anyone who likes taking selfies!

Bought this to take on vacation. I loved the inclusion of an attachable tripod and remote. It allowed taking pictures from a distance of nearly 25 feet.

Ridiculously Good Deal (esp for Skateboarders)

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Preface: I'm a skateboarder who often uses an iPhone 6s Plus, an iPhone 5s, a GoPro Hero 4 Black and a dedicated HD hand held cam to document & later edit video parts for YouTube, so that's my angle. Also, this item was on sale for roughly $25 at the time I got it.
I was given a $30 gift card at my office Christmas party, so I headed to my local Best Buy to blow it. I can't say I really needed anything other than a better camera mount for my phone (I use a number of different tripods) and found an oddly shaped little bendy multi-pod thingie for $14. I grabbed it and was going to waste the rest of the money on candy, but on one of the shelves right by checkout this caught my eye, and after seeing everything in the box I snagged the RelTrak "Ultimate Selfie Stick" really quickly.
Thing is, I have no intention on actually using it as a handheld stick... I self-film most of my footage, and the 1st person perspective doesn't really suit my needs... but the fact that is has a quite solidly built screw-in tripod base is one of a few really great things about this kit. For the tripod functionality (at 45 inches, maxed out), you're already in the $30 range as far as affordable tripods go.
Now we're at the real money-saving part... the package includes a mount that works fine for both of my phones (the mount has a standard screw-in size, so it'll work on other tripods), and the mount adapter on the stick itself can be taken off revealing a GoPro compatible mount. The GoPro version of this same setup so far it roughly $40 at the time of this writing.
On top of the good stuff already mentioned, there's also a wide angle *and* a proper fisheye lens adapter. I would have bought this package just for the lenses alone! Up until now I'd been using my phone for more long lense shots, as I really couldn't justify spending close to (or over) $100 on an Olloclip. For skateboarding, the fisheye alone is pretty much perfect. Screw the lens adapter into the included clip, and within just a few seconds you can record super close shots and catch those angles that many of us into skating like to use (like low to the ground shots aiming up, for one... making parking curbs look like ledges). The lenses have a surprisingly nice build quality. They're both glass and metal, and each has a lense cap that covers the larger end of each. The image quality is also really quite nice. The wide angle does its job, and the fisheye gives out just the right amount of distortion. The aperture isn't quite as striking as a GoPro, but it's very, very comparable, and in the case of my iPhone 6s Plus, making 240fps clips looks great. No more long lensing with the celly.
The included LED isn't enough to light up your skate spots at night (nor was it intended for that), and though it has a remote I haven't really used it. Nothing in the box seems to be substandard or poorly made... and like I said, there's a ton of money to save here when you use it as a kit or even with just some of the included components.
Apologies for the verbose nature of this review, but it's not often you see a deal like this. It's solid as a kit, and it's worth the cost even if you just want to cannibalize some of the parts. Super good.

Kind of inferior quality for the price

Definitely not worth the price. The pole is a very thin rolled aluminum that feels like it will fold over with any weight applied to it. The other items in the package are plastic looking and not very good quality.

I purchased this to use for filming videos for YouTube and Periscope. This works practically perfect for my purposes. My only complaint is that using a tablet at an angle is difficult.
