PORTABLE ENOUGH TO CARRY ON A BIKE RIDE

I wanted to get a tripod that is portable enough to carry with me on my bike rides. This was perfect, I can use my Garmin Virb XE camera, my mobile phone as well as my mirror less camera. I have used it on the mobile phone and my POV camera and it's stable. I'm careful to set it on grassy areas in case it falls over. I have not tried it on my mirror less camera so can't comment on that. One thing I'm not sure is, the promo pictures shows a person using it while swimming. There was no mention on it being water proof. I'm not sure if this can be used in beaches or in pools. I need to know because will be traveling overseas and planing on going to lots of beaches. Still a good selfie stick with tripod option.

A Quality Product!

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.

Great product but a little tricky (iPhone max)

So this is a solid product. It feels solid. The base is metal and it won’t just fall over. One issue is that the segments twist lock in place. When I got it I was thinking it looked a little shorter then expected. I looked st the pics online and said “wow they sent a wrong unit or it’s different!” The pictures online showed more segments. After some twisting and an unusually hard pull whammo it completely extended! I read some people complaining it was shorter then stated and this is why. You need to extend and then twist and make sure any other segments aren’t locked down. Once that was done it was a breeze. It goes down unlocked and opened and then I twist it locked in place. One note. I decided to keep the base attached to the stick. This makes it a little long about 16-18 inches if you do this. May look like a weapon. For me it’s easier to tie to my backpack and well ... if I need to hit a pickpocket I’m ready! I’m using this with an iPhone Max and it works. The holder is a little tight but seems fine. Better then other sticks. So far this is the best stick I’ve had and the best with a tripod

Nice quality, portable.

This is a nice item. Small and portable, not as tall as a "real" tripod but that would not be so portable. The metal looks and feels high quality. Also, the seller was very nice with a question. The box has a picture on it that shows just the selfie monopod, so I thought I was sent the wrong item, but actually there is a tripod base inside, even though it is not described on the outside of the box. It was packed very well. There are stickers on the selfie stick that instruct how to open/close it but they were in reverse to how it actually works. Also, the spring on the cell phone holder is very strong/tight and I was worried it would damage a cell phone (and/or its case), so I stretched/loosened it by stretching it for a few days over a wooden raining that was the right size for that.

Feature Rich Product

Versatile as a selfie stick but also as a stand alone tripod stand. I purchased this for use with a recording device so the tripod aspect was more important than the selfie features. I figured for the price I would get both but I also wanted something I could tuck into a backpack to bring to recording sessions and gigs easily. It succeeds on all these fronts. What would make this a dream come true is if it had one more telescoping tier so it could extend maybe a foot higher in a tripod state. Otherwise, it stands about waist height which I find a hair too low.

Sturdy, Well-Made, and Great Extension

I purchased this selfie stick to use with my GoPro Hero5 and Hero7. This is really an excellent tripod. Good: The tripod legs are very sturdy and broad. This allows the tripod to be very stable in windy conditions or on sand etc.. The telescoping aspects of the selfie stick are excellent. They work easily whether you're wearing gloves or not. A simple counter-clockwise turn of the stick then extend to the length you'll use and a half turn clockwise to tighten. There are 3 extension sections on the stick so it can be about 3' long when fully extended. This was a very nice feature this weekend when my son wanted to film a water snake up close. Also the ball and socket joint where the camera attaches provides some nice flexibility in how you'd want to set up your shot. Bad: Not much here. It is a bit heavy and even when fully compacted is longer than I'd like. It is not something that you can put in a pocket and take out when you're ready for it, so I often carry it in a backpack. After several trips with the tripod, the legs of the tripod have gotten very loose. This creates a problem for me when I'm one-handed. When the product was new, I could open the tripod legs then set it down one-handed. Now that the legs are floppy it takes 2 hands to set it up. This may not impact most people, but is a hassle for me. What could be better: NOTE: this is very specific to me. Having some attachment or flexibility (beyond the ball and socket joint) at the top that would allow me to position my camera in different positions. One way that I use this selfie stick is for my kids' baseball games or tennis matches. I want to set the tripod up near a chain link fence and get my camera looking through a hole so you can't see the fence and I can record my kids batting or serving. Because the tripod legs are so long (remember this is a good thing) I can't get my GoPro close enough to the fence. So some sort of flexible top where I could get the GoPro right against the fence would make this the perfect selfie stick for me. Overall, I'm very pleased with this selfie stick and would recommend it to anyone.

Beware of sliding phone attachment

Its a great dual selfie/tripod for the money. Just be careful with the sliding attachment that holds the phone. I have a Note 9 and its in a case and somehow the pressure of opening it so many times weakened the side that holds it and it snapped off. Now it doesn't hold the phone so I have to order another phone attachment that's aluminum that hopefully will hold up better. But the tripod feature is great and its very well balanced and made well. The Bluetooth controller was easy to pair with the phone and worked flawlessly even across the room. Well worth getting as an all around selfie stick. Just be careful with the phone attachment and slide the phone into the holder instead of wedging it in.

Awesome for my point and shoot camera, Works well with my Sony RX-100 II!!

**Note: this review is for pairing the selfie stick/tripod with a point and shoot camera** I absolutely love this! It's sturdy, compact, looks good, and super practical. The quality of both the stick and tripod is fantastic, and feels comfortable to hold with the rubber grip. I use this for my compact/ point and shoot camera (Sony RX-100 II) and it fits the screw of the selfie stick. So far, I've have this for about 4 months and have brought this with me on vacations, to hikes, arboretums, and beaches, and with the tripod attachment I am finally able to take full-body family pictures and pictures with friends without needing to bug a passerby to hold the camera for us. My camera is heavier than most cell phones, but in tripod configuration and at its full extension, I didn't have much issues with the stability of having a top heavy camera being supported with a small tripod at the bottom. However, I do take care to make sure its on leveled ground and try to place this on top of grass just in case it does tips over. On selfie stick mode, it does get a little uncomfortable/tiring at times when holding it for long periods of time and at half-extended length (center of gravity becomes pretty off so you really have to grip it) but I can forgive this since I don't keep it at that extension often. I'd also would like to point out that this doesn't extend very far, that even as a tripod fully extended, the shots would be taken at a pretty low elevation (about hip-level?) which might be a con if you're looking to have something that can do eye-level shots. But otherwise if you're okay with this, I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for a great quality, portable, and stylish selfie stick that also functions like a tripod.

it is working like a champ

Had this on our 23 mile Kayaking trip down Devils River, without it, we wouldn't have capture some epic shots! We DID use this in water, and so far, it is working like a champ!

Feels great. Works great. Looks Great.

I wasn't expecting much from a < 25$ monopod + tripod and this has by *far* exceeded expectations. The build quality is much better than I was expecting and the functionality has been fantastic. I've used this with a Ricoh Theta V spherical cameras as well as with a GoPro Hero 5. I love placing the cameras directly on the tripod base if I need it on a desk/table and adding the telescoping monopod for some height. Probably won't be using this as a selfie stick anytime soon but I will be trying it with a full size DSLR to stabilize shots where I may be kneeling or otherwise low to the ground. Only improvement I could think of would be a higher quality ball head, as it's more difficult to level the camera than it should be, though that would likely raise the price significantly.
