I already have a pocket sized selfie stick tripod, but it has a little thickness which can be bulky in a 2L belt bag. Thought I would try this out since it's slim and would take up less space in my bag. I love how you attach your phone using the mag-safe feature. If you don't have a mag-safe phone or case, not to worry. A self-adhesive magnetic ring is included, allowing you to use the mag-safe mount.The legs fold out easily but are not loose so you are able to angle the legs to the perfect setting. The tripod stand secure won't collapse. There is an additional hook that can be flipped out for mounting on vertical surfaces. Even though the length of this tripod is longer than my pocket sized selfie stick, it's slim design fits better in my very small purse.The simplicity of the design makes this device so easy to use. There aren't a lot of moving parts to slide out or adjust. When closed, it almost looks like a bottle opener. The only small drawback would be the lack of a remote to activate the camera for taking photos. This doesn't affect the use as a tripod, however as a selfie stick, it has limitations. This tripod attachment can even be attached to a larger tri-pod stand. using the small screw port on the handle.The slim, compact design and mag-safe mount make this a great value for the price. An included, integrated Bluetooth remote would have made this a 5-star travel selfie stick. I recommend this.
