Really solid tripod
When unpacking the tripod already convinced. It packs really small (about 30cm long and 10cm in diameter when folded) and fits in any backpack. The processing is great, I was very surprised.
The scope of delivery includes:
- the tripod
- a fabric bag with drawstring
- the extendable mobile phone holder
- a Bluetooth remote control with German instructions
- Allen key
- instructions for the tripod

The first impression was great, the tripod is stable, the locks work really well. On the head is a ball joint that feels really valuable. When fully extended, the tripod is approx. 170cm high, which is considerable considering the pack size. Even fully extended, the tripod is not wobbly or unstable. I would also dare to install a larger camera on it (maybe not exactly my DSLR but I don't see any problems with compact or system cameras here).
A particularly cool function is the selfistick function. You can remove the top part of the tripod. To do this, a union nut on the upper part and a cover cap on the lower part must be loosened without tools. So you can remove the upper "standpipe" from the tripod and you have an approx. 90cm long selfistick that can of course also be retracted to approx. 30cm.

The mobile phone holder has 2 options to be attached to the tripod. This is large enough to hold my 6" smartphone with case.

The remote control somehow didn't really work for me, I see it more as an accessory with this tripod, the remote control is made of cheap plastic and has 2 release buttons, maybe it's also because of my Xiaomi smartphone that I couldn't get it to work, neither with as well as without an app that you can install on your cell phone. If the remote control works, it's definitely a nice gadget. But I wouldn't buy the tripod just because of this remote control. The manufacturer should rather omit this because it "devalues" the really really great tripod a bit.

Leaving the remote control out of the rating, I have to give the tripod full marks. I would not have thought that this good piece is so valuable.

Therefore:
Tripod TOP
Remote control FLOP
