This stick is very versatile. It can serve as either a tripod or a self-stick, has a Bluetooth remote, and can be used with a variety of devices from smartphones to small cameras such as a GoPro or similar.It is well made and durable due to its aluminum construction. In addition, it is lightweight and compact: it weighs only 147g/5oz and its folded length is 19.2cm/7.5in which makes it easy to carry and store.The tripod can be extended to a maximum height of 60cm/24in – suitable for tabletop placement. Despite its light weight, with the three-legs extended and locked in place, the tripod is sturdy. The tripod head supports up to 2kg; the ball head can rotate horizontally 360 degrees and tilt vertically 90 degrees which should suit most shooting requirements. A camera can be mounted securely on the ¼ inch interface, and the cell phone clip expands to a maximum width of 91mm/3.5inches. The stick is equipped with a GoPro adapter which also suits several other small cameras.The Bluetooth remote pairs easily and quickly with devices and functions up to a maximum distance of 10 meters.I recommend this unit!
