Some suggestions to the manufacturer
Once I've used this selfie stick I would never think of changing it for another model.Sturdy, reliable and easy to use - that is how I'd describe it.My slight concern is that the remote control does not turn off (at least I didn't find a way to do it). This drains out my phone battery quickly. Of course, I can always turn off the Bluetooth on my phone, but I still think it would be easier if the selfie stick had an on/off button.And one more thing. How about having the Bluetooth (along with an on/off button) inside the selfie stick? This way if the remote control is lost, the selfie stick could still be used.Also, how about a release button for the tripod legs? Then it will be easier to open the tripod legs without breaking nails.These are only suggestions. I'm very happy with the product. Thank you!

An amazing little bit of kit! Highly recommended!
What a fabulous little find this is! I’ve had one other selfie stick in the past (a Jivo) and this is waaaay better; the clamp is strong enough to hold my iPhone 11 ProMax, in its case (so quite heavy) very securely. I’ve no concerns about it falling out. The head is adjustable so you can take portrait or landscape shots. The tripod is nice and stable, even with the stick fully extended. It even has grippy little rubber pads on the feet to keep it in place. The remote connects really easily to your phone and is very intuitive to turn on and off (just long presses for both). The fact that you can pop the shutter button out and turn it into a remote is AMAZING. I paid £25 for the same feature on my Nikon D40 10 years ago, and that wasn’t USB rechargeable!!My only gripes are that there is a half second lag between pressing the button and the photo being taken and that I had to tighten the screw clamping the phone holder to the stick, to stop it from flopping about (again, heaviest phone possible) but now it stays where I set it. I’m really happy with this purchase.

Well made and does what it's supposed to.
This seems to be a well made item and does exactly what it is supposed to. The tripod was steady even on a very deep pile carpet. Tested it out both as a selfie stick and using the tripod and got good results using the removabl bluetooth "trigger". It was easy to pair this with my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+5g. It was also capable of holding this phone including the protective case. Not used outdoors yet but it looks as though it might blow over in windy conditions depending on the height of the tripod and the size and weight of the phone being used. However I think this may apply to any selfie/tripod combo that's on the market.

Good, but not brilliant.
Bought as a replacement and an improvement over a previous plastic stick from another manufacturer. Indeed, the advantages I sought are plus points: a more solid and strong construction (the slightly heavier weight is worth the robustness it provides), a simple slender tube with no folding phone grips sticking out allowing it to slip more easily into a bag, a longer extension than most for higher or further shots, a strong phone grip. A solid tripod holder arrangement (as long as it isn’t used at full extension, but then no one should expect a selfie stick to work as a fully extended tripod!)However, the minus points are such that when I replace, it will not be with this model; opening this firm unit takes longer and more effort, the phone holder lips have small lips that only just sit on an iPhone 12 Max Pro with a protective case (and who wouldn’t protect their phone especially when stuck on the end of a stick), the phone holder only just stretches to hold my phone and requires great effort and care, having many times dropped my phone fumbling to get it in the grips, packing the phone holder end away often results in trapping my fingers, the Bluetooth switch is poor - my previous slid out of a slot and was therefore secure, this one sits in a pocket with the smallest lip which means I have often found it loose in my bag.I so wish I could take the plus parts from my previous and combine it with the pluses of this one to make the perfect stick. But it ain’t. So this one is for you if my minus points don’t bother you.

Terrific bit of kit
Really amazing bit of kit - looks very good, is very light and small when folded up, but opens up to a good size to make a sturdy and flexible stand for taking pictures from any angle. The remote is rechargeable and allows you to take pictures that look as if a person has taken them - you can fire it multiple times to make sure that no-one is blinking or grimacing, and then select the perfect shot. A real game changer for family and other group photographs, so no-one has to take the picture from behind the camera and be left out. Would also work as a carry-around selfie stick (where the light weight and portability of the folding mechanism would come into its own). Really cannot fault this.

Compact, versatile and strong
I spent a long time choosing this selfie stick/tripod and I'm very pleased with it. It's well built and robust. The bluetooth remote control works reliably. The camera jaws are powerful, almost awkwardly strong, but that is certainly better than being too weak. I was originally concerned that there is no adjustment for leveling the camera if the tripod isn't exactly level, but the camera can be shifted around in the jaws to level it. The size of the tripod base is quite small, so it isn't stable at full extension if there is more than a gentle breeze, but I haven't found using the tripod a problem in reasonably windy conditions when it's only partially extended. Tip: it is not intended for the the tripod legs to be spread open or squeezed shut directly by hand, if you try they may break! - use the telescoping action of the selfie stick to do this for you.
