For the price, I think this is one of the best phone tripods you can get. It is ideal for holding a phone in a horizontal (landscape) position. The legs have a slip-resistant foam covering and slip-resistant rubber pads on the feet. The legs are flexible so you can wrap them around tree branches, railings, etc. to get that perfect shot. You can also use the tripod as a handle for hand-held video recording.I noticed that some reviewers said they had problems with the mount not tightening up enough to prevent wobble. If you remove the mounting pad, the thumbscrew is accessible from the bottom (see photo). The depth of the threaded insert is 6.5mm and the length of the threaded screw is 4mm. Therefore, tightening it for a snug fit should not be a problem. They have corrected the fitment issue with the update.The Bluetooth wireless remote is really handy. You can frame your shot and then use the remote to take a picture or start a video recording without even needing to touch the phone. I used it with an iPhone 6s+ and it worked great. I think you're definitely getting your monies worth with this tripod at the current $16.99 price. I've seen just the remote listed for 1/2 of that cost.
