ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod, Extendable 3 in 1 Aluminum Bluetooth Selfie Stick with Wireless Remote and Tripod Stand for iPhone 16/15/14/13/12/11 Pro Max/XS Max/XS/XR/X/8/7, Samsung Smartphones Black

I no longer need to hold the phone/camera for my wife's selfies thanks to this selfie stick. I give her a hard time always that she has T-Rex arms and can't take her own selfies because you can never see any of the background in the photo or people get cut off. No more!The stick is durable, well made, and well priced. The stand comes right out forming your tripod or extends for selfie stick. The head holding the phone pivots for many different angled shots but holds the phone (with case) in your desired position without drooping or repositioning.We did on a couple occasions have problems with the Bluetooth disconnecting from the phone requiring resync to the phone. It occurs with inactivity presumably to save on battery life of the remote. The remote was responsive and connects quickly to the phone.it is compact in size and was able to fit in pockets or women's cross body shoulder bags.The phone holder will also flip orientation for whichever angle you want.Highly recommend this device.

Very ingenius design, lightweight, compact, bluetooth remote is fantastic! Bought this one for family, as I have had mine for over a year and love it! We often video chat by phone. This little gem lakes that a hands free process by use of the tripod base

This selfie stick tripod is almost perfect. I find most selfie stick tripods to be far too big for travel. This one is the perfect size to fit into the side pocket of my backpack. It's sturdy and moves smoothly, all while being very lightweight. The remote is better than the images show. The image shows a remote with a micro-USB connector. But this actually uses a USB-C connector, which means I can travel with one cable. My only minor gripe is that the portion that connects to the phone doesn't fully articulate backward. I noticed that Alumtek's bigger selfie stick tripods use a head that can bend forward and back completely. I like to use the higher quality rear cameras on my phone for selfies and this requires me to put my phone backwards onto the holder, which causes a large portion of the screen to be blocked by the holder itself. If Alumtek brought over the same head from their larger models to this one, this would be 10/10.

I recently underwent cataract surgery on both eyes, and my new lenses both have a focal range between 8 and 18 inches, so I an unable to watch TV until my eyes are fully healed and I can get new prescription glasses for distance, which is about six weeks out. I purchased this item so that I can watch videos on my smart phone, and it is ideal for this purpose. It comes with a small "Bluetooth" switch, that when paired with a smartphone, will allow you to remotely activate the shutter when using the stick to take selfies. A couple of things to know about this unit: It has three legs built into the base to allow it to be used as a tripod, and the way to extend those feet is to telescope the stick to it's maximum length. It is important to note that if you try to pull the tripod legs out of the base without extending the telescoping sections all the way first, the folding tripod leg mechamisms can be damaged. The jaws on the end of the stick have a very strong sping to clamp the phone securely. There is no chance that the phone can come loose while attached to the stick, but one downside is that the spring is so strong it can be difficult to remove the phone without putting excessive force on the tiny tilt. The telescoping sections are very tight/snug to each other too, but that ensures that once the desired extension length is set, the distance placement won't slip or vary. Overall, a great deal of thought went into the engineering of this fine tool, and the quality of the fabrication craftsmanship is excellent, but in normal use, whilst pulling on the sections or clamp springs, one must constantly be aware that the tiny hinge at the tip is somewhat fragile and should not be overly twisted or torqued. But if you are careful, and treat it like a wristwatch or fishing pole, this can be a useful instrument for many years.

I already have two selfie sticks, both a couple years old. The newer features on more recent models such as this one make the old sticks obsolete.For example, my old selfie sticks did not have bluetooth remote control built in, requiring a third party little remote. The watch battery in this was shot and a replacement battery is more than $5. By contract, this unit has bluetooth remote built in and it is USB RECHARGEABLE. No more battery replacements. Worth the cost right there.In addition, the bluetooth remote is incorporated into the handle so I no longer have to fumble with both the selfie stick and a remote while trying to get the perfect selfie. Again, worth the cost right there.The BT remote also can be removed from the handle so that if instead you set this selfie stick up as a tripod and step away from it, you can still hold the remote in your hand.Perhaps best of all, this unit collapses into a very tight and tidy package that can fit in a pocket or a small purse, so it can always be with you and at the ready while not being bulky and inconvenient to keep on hand.Fit and finish are terrific, it feels like a high quality aluminum. Everything feels a little too stiff and resistive when expanding and contracting, to the point I am afraid I am pulling or pushing so hard I might break something, but I imagine that will loosen up a bit with use. If it loosens up a little it will be great and if it loosens up too much it may become a bit sloppy and clumsy. It is built and designed so well, however, that I am optimistic they designed it well and it will loosen it's joints just a bit with time and use.Excellent product, even more so given the very reasonable price.

Perfect size, easy to use and reliable tool
