This face-tracking tripod is impressively well designed. While it’s not flawless in build quality or tracking accuracy, it’s clear that a lot of thoughtful engineering went into it.The unit cleverly integrates both a phone mount and a standard tripod screw mount, no swapping required. Each mount folds neatly out of the way when not in use, which makes setup smooth and flexible. The tripod itself telescopes to roughly six feet tall, yet folds down into a compact, easy-to-store size. Everything locks into place securely and feels well-balanced when extended.Face tracking works surprisingly well for this price range. Gesture recognition isn’t always perfect, but the camera reacts quickly and can keep up even when you try to throw it off. It does struggle a bit in lower light, but in normal lighting it performs quite well.Build quality feels solid for the $40–$50 range. The telescoping mechanism is sturdy and smooth, though some components—like the face-tracking camera housing and the wing nut that secures the mount—feel a little plasticky. Still, nothing feels fragile or cheap.One of my favorite touches is the one-handed tripod leg operation. The manual shows multiple ways to deploy and fold the legs quickly, and it genuinely works as advertised. Both the tripod and the detachable remote use USB-C for charging, which is a nice touch.Overall, for the asking price, this is a well-executed and feature-rich option if you want an affordable tripod with built-in face tracking that doesn’t rely on a separate app.ProsTelescopes up to around six feet tall but folds down compactlyDual mounting system (phone and tripod screw) built into one unitSmooth, sturdy telescoping mechanismOne-handed tripod leg operationBuilt-in face tracking that works without an appUSB-C charging for both the tripod and remoteGreat value for the priceConsGesture recognition can be inconsistentTracking performance drops in low lightSome components feel a bit plasticky
