ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod, Extendable 3 in 1 Aluminum Bluetooth Selfie Stick with Wireless Remote and Tripod Stand for iPhone 16/15/14/13/12/11 Pro Max/XS Max/XS/XR/X/8/7, Samsung Smartphones Black

I'm a Youtuber and ever since my partner got me this,it has really helped me with my content I upload onto my channel.I like the Bluetooth part of it because when I do my martial art videos I'm able to use that part of it without keep going up to my video camera when doing video recordings 🙏🏾☯️🙏🏾

It took me a little while to work out that the remote wouldn't work while it was charging and plugged in, but once I got over that hiccup it was easy to use and does the job perfectly.

The Atumtek was purchased with a criteria of;A) easy to carryB) blue tooth connectivityC) a tripodThe stick fulfils all of the above including providing a recharge cable for the remote switch. It is light enough but there is a price to pay for the reduction in weight. The length is shorter than many other selfie sticks BUT at the same time is sturdy enough. Closed it is easy enough to store either in a deep pocket or a purse or a backpack without the weight being of concern.Connectivity is easy enough by going through your settings on your phone putting on the blue tooth on both devices and after a few seconds ATUMTEK will come up easily recognisable rather than some random number. Once set up it connects to my Android based phone easily.The only slight issue I have is that the blue tooth switch may fall out. Alternatively use a small rubber band on the switch but I easily addressed this by using a small Velcro strip to keep it in place while not being used just so that I do not loose the switch while walking with it in hand or in the bag. I do wish Atumtek would have provide a Velcro strip with this unit.The tripod is small so in windy places it could fall or in uneven places it may be unstable. In such cases you may require some anchor to keep it steady depending on the weight of your phone. However note it is a selfie stick and not a full size tripod.Now to the actual unit that holds your phone; it is sturdy enough to hold your phone using a spring laden adjustable bracket. The issue some users might have is that the top notch appears to not have a rubber strip to stop the upper bracket scratching the sides of users phones who do not have a cover, I cannot confirm that it will scratch but once more a small rubber strip or similar item can be glued on if one requires this. I notice that the the rotation device and angle manipulation is allowed using a steel ball joint and that looks good.CONCLUSIONOverall it’s a great unit to have if you are a casual user. It conforms to most requirements in an adequate manner and is value for money. Recharging the battery with the cable provided easy recharging. I would have preferred the tripod stand to have been full aluminium but once more ATUMTEK has underlying metal units covered by the the plastic cover. It does feel a tad flimsy so be careful and do read the instructions before struggling to open the tripod. There is a specific method.A compromise has to be made to get a balance of what can easily be carried or a heavy weight. It all comes down to what one might feel are the important requirements to oneself.The reason I did I not give full stars is for the reasons mentioned above. There really is nothing wrong with the build quality and it fulfils most users requirements.It is a great little unit that has been well overall with the exception of the tripod cover. IN SHORT IT WILL DO THE JOB.

I've never had a selfie stick before so this was new to me. We took it on a two week motorhome adventure and it was exactly what was needed.We did a lot of walking and because the stick is well weighted (not too light or too heavy), it was easy to carry around.The Bluetooth remote works really well and keeps it's connection as expected.Can't fault it.

I previously bought a 1.72m Alumtek selfie stick which I loved so much that I bought asecond one so when I was looking for something a bit smaller and more portable, I decided to stick with the brand. I have not been disappointed.This is significantly more portable and lighter and while I would have liked it to be a bit longer, the small folded size is brilliant. I have carried it around in the front pocket of my trousers for short periods of time. I have not used the tripod function as much as I expected. I forget it has this function until I see someone using another tripod selfie stick and think, "Oh, yeah, I can do that.".All in all this is a brilliant tripod selfie stick to travel with, it is light and sturdy and very portable compartment it's big brother.

Excellent; really pleased, good solid build does everything that I wanted! The reach is brilliant and the phone grip will rotate through 360 degrees to cover every eventuality. The bag makes for easy carrying so that it can be always to hand and I can also attach my camera if I so choose, it is strong enough to carry a small, light mirrorless or bridge camera but obviously not heavyweight DSLRs!

Lightweight and perfect for the job.

So happy with my new selfie stick. Excellent quality.
