This indeed is a very nice, and useful selfie stick when used right. Great design, build-quality, and features including super-long telescopic arm, three-way opening (self-standing) legs, and highly versatile & easy-to-setup remote, this particular "Selfie Stick" enables so many different photographic opportunities that's just not possible otherwise: (a) super wide selfies, esp. from atop a mountain, etc. (b) skipping (over) the crowd and photographing above or ahead of people, or (c) shots looking down from high above, (d) close up to high-positioned or dangerous stuff difficult to get close in person, etc. Very useful stuff. Nicely designed and well built.The only catch is - despite all the great versatility, advantages, & features - this is a bit larger and heavier inevitably. In particular, the weight might be a bit too much to carry as an everyday/all-day selfie-stick. Rather a secondary selfie stick for special shots I'd say.Pros:- super long & tall: not only much further away but possible to take shots from *MUCH HIGHER ANGLE*; especially with included remote very handy (i.e., shoot over a large crowd)- very flexible use cases: selfie stick or *SELF-STANDING* tripod (more like monopod with legs) mode- good design, nice material, & build quality; nothing flimsy or looking cheap- versatile Remote built-in: magnetically attaches and stored, also *FEATURES MANY USEFUL FUNCTIONS*- relatively compact - considering the massive size/length and features- fairly easy to use, set up.- phenomenal value at under $30, especially with the quality & featuresCons:- slightly heavy for all day:(though understandable) in absolute terms, a bit big/heavy compared to a 'regular' selfie stick.Conclusion:1. Highly recommended with a caveat -the weight alone might be a limiting factor in carrying this as a whole-day selfie stick; more likely as a secondary selfie stick in a backpack, from which you deploy only when needed.2. Nevertheless, the phenomenal value/very low price even as a secondary selfie stick
