Great quality

I am totally pleased with this product. It is excellent value for the price and does everything that I hoped for! Though I’m not likely to use for ‘selfies’in the pop sense, I am very happy with the ease of setting it up as a small/compact/light weight tripod for use with my GoPro video camera or my Android. I’m using it to hold either device (GoPro or Android) for recording some of my classical guitar practice sessions. Set up is a snap! I love the attachment that grips my Android - so simple to use - which I then can screw onto the tripod with either a vertical or horizontal orientation - both are possible. The coupling attachment for use with GoPro is made with the GoPro mating foot in mind and so its a snap to secure the camera to the tripod as well. I have a heavier duty tripod that I purchased years ago for use with a 35mm camera. It is large and bulky and since my practice room is on the smaller side, I wanted something smaller that wouldn’t take up too much space. Although I had in mind a smaller table top tripod - this item in it most compact setup still sits too high for the tabletop viewing angle I had in mind. When fully extended it sits stably on the floor supported by its 3 legs which look designed to be spread to the full horizontal position as opposed to 45deg or so angles. This brings the camera to about eye level (I’m 6ft tall) as I sit in a chair to play guitar. The camera/android holder sits on a swivel head to permit variable angulation of the device. This tripod occupies a small footprint and sports a sleek black appearance sitting unobtrusively in my music room. I am impressed with its sturdiness and quality craftsmanship. Totally pleased with the purchase. Probably will order another as a last minute Christmas ‘stocking stuffer’ for my daughter who also plays classical guitar so we can share selfie videos.

I needed a small light weight stand that would hold my smart phone when I went on hikes, camping trips, family gatherings, etc. I have a regular camera tripod which is sturdy and provides a good solid camera platform, but it is big and bulky. I came across this tripod/selfie stick and it had all the features I was looking for. When fully extended with the folding stand attached it is just under 4 feet long. Fully collapsed with the legs removed it is about 14 inches long. It has a ball mount on the end that allows the mounting platform to swivel 360 degrees in a horizontal plane and fold down 90 degrees in the vertical plane. I was mainly concerned with durability and the tripod is very sturdy and made out of strong (but light) aluminum. I wanted a sturdy stand to get good photos (no blurred photos from an unsteady stand) and this item includes a strong well made three leg stand that can be detached for storage. It comes with a typical expandable bracket that holds most smart phones (it was tight but I was able to fit my iPhone 6 plus with a thick Otter case). I gave it 4 stars only because I would have preferred a more sophisticated ball mount with maybe a short adjustment arm with a bubble gauge and some markings to get the camera relatively level instead of having to eyeball it, but for the price the ball mount it comes with does the job.

Perfect if you're looking to use your cellphone as a webcam behind your monitor for a more flattering video! I didn't want to spend $100+ on a tripod setup that I wasn't sure about so I went looking for a cheaper alternative and I am very happy I found this product! It's stable, compact enough for my desk with a hutch and it's extendable/adjustable height pole works very well!The included cellphone attachment holds my Pixel 6 Pro (163.9 x 75.9 x 8.9 mm (6.45 x 2.99 x 0.35 in)) and I don't have to take it out of its protective case! As far as a selfie stick - I would feel perfectly confident using this product in a calm/controlled/studio environment but I would not recommend using the included cellphone accessory if you're looking for something you can be physical with such as running, climbing, or jumping as I think the phone could slip out if enticed somehow.I highly recommend this product to any streamer or individual that's interested in using their cellphone as a webcam. Your cellphone camera is way better than any webcam and nearly matches the quality of a DSLR so consider this option instead of spending way more money on something especially if you have an old cellphone sitting in a drawer that you could use as a webcam!
