Robust and Versatile Selfie Stick and Tripod
This selfie stick from K&F Concept comes in an attractive box bearing the company's trademark orange branding. Inside we get the selfie stick itself, a metallic ring, a USB charging cable a product sheet and a multi-lingual instruction guide.The device has three potential uses - a grip for an action camera or phone, an extendable selfie stick, or a tripod.At the heart of all three uses is the mount for the camera or phone, and again we have three options.The pivoting head features a large flat disc. This contains a strong magnet which will hold a suitable phone firmly in place. If your phone doesn't have a magnetic back, the supplied adhesive ring can be installed either on the back of the phone or onto a case.The head's disc also contains two fold-out sprung fingers which can grip the sides of a phone. The disc also has silicone anti-slip pads to help hold the phone securely. The head can rotate in the Y and Z axes, so you can shoot landscape and/or pan the phone sideways. The arm holding the head folds up by rotating in X, so you can also point the phone upwards or downwards.But the head is not limited to using phones, as it also incorporates a standard 1/4-inch camera screw, allowing it to attach to most regular cameras.The only thing missing is the means to connect a standard action camera mount. We had hoped by disassembling the head we might be left with somewhere to attach the standard two-fingers action camera mounting, but no. So, to do this you need an action camera mount which incorporates a 1/4-inch thread. These are readily available, or you can use the phone side-grips to hold the action camera.With your recording device attached, the unit can be held as a hand grip. It's quite chunky but not overly heavy, so can be carried for some time without fatigue.The head, though, is actually mounted on a long telescopic pole. Just pull it out and it extends a long way. It goes up to 1m 80cm which is pretty impressive. It also feels pretty stable, with little to no wobble.Then, if you twist the base, three legs unfold to form a tripod. The footprint is relatively small, but it is perfectly stable thanks to the metal support arms connecting the legs to the pole. Some wobble is experienced if you use the phone or camera's controls when the telescopic pole is fully extended but it soon settles and becomes stable again.Turn the device upside down and the legs fold back onto the pole, with just a slight press needed to latch them back in place.Also included is a Bluetooth remote shutter controller. This stores on the body of the stick, slotting into place. It has a wrist lanyard attached and, surprisingly, is rechargeable. The base incorporates a USB-C port while the body has a small red LED which lights up when charging and goes out when fully charged. A USB-A to USB-C charging cable is included. The remote has an on/off slider switch on the rear. When first turned on it goes into pairing mode. Once paired, the button operates the shutter on the phone or supported camera.There are times when you take a product out of the box and it immediately exudes quality. This is one of those times. It feels a disservice to call it a mere 'selfie stick' as, for us, it also works as a camera grip, a monopod and a tripod. It feels genuinely well made and has impressive solidity. At only 400g, it is easy to carry and highly versatile.
