I’ve tried quite a few selfie sticks and tripods, but this on is AMAZING. Just for reference, it fit my iPhone 13 Pro with a heavy duty casetify case attached perfectly. Just be careful when you’re adjusting the clamps where you put your phone in, they are really tight (which is a good thing because it holds your phone in very securely) but I did accidentally pinch my finger the first time using it. Every feature has been so well thought out, making it the perfect companion for travel, outdoor adventures, and content creation.I love taking photos and videos at the beach, and in the parks with my dog, With the ground stake, I can secure it in the sand, grass, or dirt, and it stays put. No more tipping over or struggling with uneven surfaces!On hard surfaces, the quadpod base has anti-slip feet that provide excellent stability. I’ve set it up on pavement, tile floors, desk tops and it holds steady with no wobbling, even when fully extended.Setting it up takes just a few seconds, and the Bluetooth remote makes taking pictures and recording videos completely hands-free. It’s perfect for group photos, solo travel, or creating social media content without having to ask someone else to take the shot. The only thing that I am not certain about is how to recharge the remote. There is no charging port and i cant seem to find if it works off a battery. I am a little bit concerned about what happens if the remote battery runs out.I also love how versatile it is! It works with my phone, camera, microphone, and even a ring light. I think one of my favorite features is that it came with this light. The cool part is that the light clips on both sides. One side of your facing your camera like a FaceTime mode and the other side of your taking a photo form the back of the phone. Honestly l, I am super impressed with the light, it has at least 6 different light modes. The only thing that was a bit tough was to figure out how to attach the light because it was not in the instructions. It’s definitely an awesome addition, especially for nighttime shots or dimly lit environments. It really enhances the quality of my videos and selfies without needing extra lighting gear. It also is rechargeable and comes with a small USB cord. Another great feature is how compact the entire tripod is when you fold it up after you’re finished using it.If you’re looking for a selfie stick tripod that does it all, this is the one! It’s sturdy, stable, easy to use, and packed with features that make a huge difference in photo and video quality. I just want to add, the one and only downfall are the instructions that the tripod came with, they were not 100% clear. I just kinda had to figure how to use the tripod as I went along. Whether you’re an influencer, vlogger, photographer, or just someone who loves taking great pictures, this is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

It's a decent tripod for family photography. As a two in one for selfie stick and tripod, it's a must item for family parties and trips.The Bluetooth remote, 360 rotation, and especially the ground Anker makes it very practical and useful for windy situation.It's bit tricky to pull out the legs though, it's needs pressure but if feels like if you put bit more, it may break. Wish this would have been smoother.

This is a really nice compact tripod with a lot of useful features. Getting it to the position you want isn't always intuitive, but it's very sturdy and stays where you put it, which is the important thing.-- Movement --- Panning can be done quickly and easily by lifting the lever on the back, and it can be locked just as quickly at any point- Tilting forward and backward takes a bit more effort (twisting a screw) and there are a limited number of notches that it can be locked into; a bit of a hassle-- Remote --The remote shutter is in a slot on the lever, and can be removed to be used at a distance. It pairs easily to a phone as a bluetooth device, and acts as a volume up button to trigger the camera shutter.-- Stake --The stability stake stows in the bottom of the tripod, and can be deployed by unscrewing it, flipping it around, and screwing it back in. It's a tried-and-true design; you can be sure that it will stay secure.-- Storage --Every part of the tripod folds up, making it extremely compact. Really impressive given how large it can get.

The instruction manual was really confusing, and it took two of us over 20 minutes to figure out how to get the legs to extend so it could stand properly. The process was much more complicated than it needed to be. Once we finally got it set up, it worked as expected, but the frustrating assembly definitely took away from the experience. Clearer instructions would make a huge difference.

Tripods are not a difficult invention. There are hundreds of tripods available in all sorts of assortments. This one compacts nicely and is pretty lightweight. There are few exposed edges to catch things if you should keep this in your travel bag. It is mostly plastic which might be better for some things but the basic aluminum tripods are a lot sturdier and stronger. Inside the legs are some telescoping metal bits. I'm not sure how tall this really gets because the first time I tried to extend it, I broke the screw apparatus right out of the rods. It looks like it was supposed to be glued in but didn't come with nearly enough glue. It looks like if it wasn't broken it would provide good camera adjustment and control. The only sturdy thing about this design is an overpowering metal spike that can be screwed to the bottom of the tripod to somehow anchor this thing to the ground. I see no practical way this tripod is strong enough to actually stick this metal spike into hard earth without breaking the tripod. The spike isn't long enough to do any good if you were to stick this in soft earth or sand. It's an interesting design choice which I was unable to test because the main function of the tripod in any configuration broke so easily. This product was useless for me.
