Great product, but the Bluetooth Remote Shutter may not work with your phone
I like the look and weight of the tripod and you can't ignore the versatility; I like that I can wrap it on or around many different objects in order to keep the phone stationary in different environments. The tripod also allows for great forward and side to side motion which is helpful when filming in awkward situations or when you just need a slight tweak for that perfect camera positioning. The camera itself is easy to move when a shot requires a bend to the right and left or a rotation up or down.I have already utilized the tripod via my cell phone and also with my digital camera. The tripod was especially handy for live filming on facebook as it sat on top of a large shoe box on my desk. I was able to perfectly position the camera for the facebook live and I didn't have to worry about the phone falling over while filming. No more propping up items in front of or behind my phone to avoid a slip or fall. I am very pleased with this purchase and so far, I am satisfied with the quality. It's also an added bonus to find a tripod in red and black as most of my devices are red.The only "con" I have is with the Bluetooth Remote Shutter. I am disappointed that the remote shutter isn't working with my ZTE 958 phone. After several failed attempts to use the shutter through my cell phone's default settings, I did install the 360 Lite app made for this remote but the shutter only worked for still pictures; it was completely useless for video. The remote shutter also enlarged (zoomed) the frame of both picture shots and video footage when it should have just taken a picture or enabled the video for recording. It's possible the remote shutter just isn't compatible with my phone, but it was odd that even after installing the 360 Lite app, depressing the button to take a picture didn't always "take" a picture; again, it would activate the zoom feature on my phone which isn't what the remote shutter is made to do. The remote shutter is supposed to snap pictures and activate/deactivate the recording feature on your device. Sadly, it's not working for me at this time.

Works perfectly
I use an iPhone 6s in a Lifeproof case. My phone has the smallest dimensions in the family. The largest is an iPhone X in an Otterbox case. This tripod holds those sizes and the ones in between easily and securely, in landscape or portrait orientation.Helpful for virtual music lessons or facetiming grandparents. My son uses it for time lapse videos. Great product. It is easy to use - one of my teens set it up for me in less than 4 minutes without looking at instructions.This product would be even better if it came in its own carrying case.

For the price this is an excellent phone tripod.
This is a good and inexpensive phone tripod. I have an android phone. It seems to work with both Androids and IPhones. I have not used it yet, but just tested it. It works with my Android phone. I had a bit of trouble getting the remote to work. I had to download a link to make it work. My husband had a more difficult time getting the remote to work with his Android. We have limited space in our apartment to put the tripod, but it does seem to hold pretty well if you really tighten the 3 movable legs around the area you place it on. It seems very pliable and strong enough for the phone. I've seen this tripod in stores for more than twice what this one cost. The only negative thing is that they do not give enough information on how to set it up and use it and they really should. There are 2 pieces that I have no idea how to use or exactly what they are for. I also don't know how to bend the top part of the tripod to put the phone in a lower position other than by bending one of the movable legs far forward. However, for the price this is an excellent phone tripod. I recommend it.

Awesome Build Quality for the Price!
I was a little sketchy at first because this tripod was only about $9 but boy was I glad when I opened the packaging to see a sturdy, flexible, and colorful tripod. The package also includes a remote for taking pictures, a lanyard that attaches to the remote, a spring-adjusted phone mount, and an additional screw-on mount for other devices like a GoPro, etc. This tripod can pretty much attach to anything. I have it wrapped around my monitor arm with my old phone attached to it (which I use as my webcam). It holds it in place very well and doesn't move a lot either. This truly was a great purchase and I will be sure to order from this company again for any future needs in this category.

Exactly as described
Seems pretty sturdy and easy to figure out. The remote can be placed on lanyard to keep from misplacement. Definitely worth price

Hard to get straight again
If you've been to this in an all direction before warned you will not be able to get it perfectly straight again. Other than that it's a really good tripod and really durable

Works great with my phone
This little tripod is pretty cute and it does a great job of holding my iphone. The legs are highly adjustable and the clamp grips the phone well. The legs don't slide on a smooth surface which is good. So far the legs haven't gotten loose and keep their position. It's a nice little tripod.

Great car staple
I keep this in my car for all my picture needs! It’s great and goes anywhere. Sometimes I have to take my case off but it doesn’t bother me. I have an iPhone 12 max

Great little kit for price
I bought this for the phone holder and to have a spare little tripod at work in case I needed it. Didn’t expect the he remote to work with my phone which it does perfectly. Wasn’t expecting the head for the video camera even though it said it came with it. And quality way better than what I was expecting. Very happy

Pésimo, se me rompió sin esfuerzo alguno al usarlo la tercera vez con mi celular y no me quisieron devolver mi dinero.

Seems good
Absolutely no problem so farThe tripod is good. Screw is metal, unlike the one I bought before this. The clamp works well. I hope the elastic inside lasts. I like the detachable feature. I have not tried the remote
