I just wanted to add to the abundant positive reviews for this product. It’s been a life changer for me during COVID-19 quarantine. I actually purchased this tripod for a trip last year which I unfortunately didn’t end up going on, so I hadn’t really used it at all until the pandemic. It’s been essential for me to video chat with my friends and family. The length is perfect for a table or desktop. I sort of forgot it came with a remote as well, but I just used the remote yesterday and that has been absolutely TRANSFORMATIONAL — really taken my selfie game up to that next level. Connected to my iPhone 11 perfectly and it’s so small that you can’t even tell I’m holding it in most shots. I can also get videos by just holding the button down. Now I can take really cool selfies for my social media profiles, and I can’t wait to take this thing traveling with me when things open back up again. The legs are really strong and durable for me. It sort of creates the perfect length selfie stick as well when you mush all three legs together. The foam is really grippy and comfortable to hold. I did have to upgrade this product with a different attachment for a smartphone so that I can support my phone in portrait mode. I technically could before, but it was not pretty and It put a lot of weight over to one side. Just look for a “universal swivel smartphone tripod mount”. I think that’s what it was called :) It was about $10, but I think both products combined for $30 is a steal for what you get, it’s soo versatile and it’s made connecting with my friends and family so much easier.
