Fugetek 51" Professional Selfie Stick Tripod, 100% All Aluminum Stick & Legs, Lightweight, Detachable Bluetooth Remote, Portable All in One, Compatible with iPhone & Android, Non Skid Feet, Black

033025: Purchased this for hiking, and will take it to Europe with me soon. I modified this slightly as I learned from previous Amazon purchases that they may not work in the field, as is, or may break. The tripod comes with a spring-loaded Phone holder. Something similar, I purchased for last year's adventures, broke shortly after I used it. I purchased and replaced the original holder with an Ailun Phone Holder/Vertical and Horizontal Tripod Mount Adapter. (see Photo). This holder has better options. I have to deal with weight due to backpacking and hiking, so the modification is ok.The tripod itself is pretty sturdy. Using it as a Stick, fully extended, it handles my Samsung phone with a light case on it, but it is a little heavy. Using it as a tripod on various uneven surfaces, it is balanced and handles the weight of my phone. I am very rough with my gear and try to prevent equipment failures in the field. I noticed that the mount, fixed to the tripod, which retains the phone holder adapter, could separate. It is held together by 4 small screws embedded in plastic. In my photos, (2-5) you can see the complete mount, then separated, the piece with the screws. To prevent possible separation, I removed and super glued the screws in place to prevent stripping. I also used a small amount of clear fingernail polish, on the threads of the large screw to prevent it from loosing and backing out. Since I have been doing this with my gear, I have not lost any screws and my equipment made it through my trips.I know this seems to be a little extra work, but I am worry-free from separation failure, and this tripod appears to be rock solid. I will update this review once I am back from my trips.

Hace su funcion cuando me queria tomar fotos con la familia y no habia quien nos las tomara recurri a este tripode facil de guaradr o llevar a cual lugar. cuando esta muy alto puede ser un poco inestable por el peso del equipo que uses

I ordered this during an Amazon unicorn sale and only paid about $12+ for it. So naturally, I grabbed it because I am in need for something this flexible that I can take to events, etc. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it but there are some noticeable pros and cons. I will start with the pros.First, it's pretty sturdy. I have a whole photography getup on my iPhone 14 Pro Max, and this fit with no problem. I have a heavy case, room for a filters, as well as a receiver for a Lavalier microphone plugged in. Once again, this holds it with no problem. I haven't tried setting up the phone while it's fully extended in tripod mode, but for what I need, it's just fine. The phone holder comes with a GoPro mount attached, which gives it some flexibility. If I had a GoPro, that would be quite nice.The remote that comes with it is nearly perfect. It connected immediately to my phone and I had no problems using it for either video or photography. Older models had USB cables to use to charge the remote. The remote now uses a watch battery and is pretty standalone. It's also well seated into its place on the legs, so there's no fear of it dropping off.Now the cons. The phone holder that it comes with is inadequate. It doesn't have a cold shoe mount, which is vital for me (YMMV). Along with my phone, sometimes I like to be able to have a place for a small light or a vlogging microphone, and this doesn't have the ability to do that. More on that later.While the legs are sturdy, they are hard to hold. I've decided I will be getting another blogging tripod that is easier on my hands and comes with a cold shoe mount phone holder. I just haven't decided which one yet. With this particular tripod, the legs are sturdy but hard to hold because they don't give a comfortable grip. In addition, it doesn't collapse down as low as I'd like. There's a couple of feet of selfie stick that looks oversized and it's just a little awkward getting through a crowd.I mentioned before that I don't like the phone holder because of its lack of cold shoe mounts. I replaced it with a Picton/Ulanzi ST-27 Mount which is pretty close to perfect as far as I'm concerned. I've had it for a while (since 2020 or 2021, I can't remember exactly) and it works perfectly. It holds my lights, my microphones, and is wonderful. So that's now riding on the top of the tripod.Overall I really like it. As I said before, I will be getting another that I can hold on to much easier. The length and the discomfort in my hands after holding the legs for a while doesn't make it really worth using on a regular basis. That being said, the sale was so great I wasn't going to return it. It was functional for what I needed for for one event, but my next event I will probably have something else. Do I recommend it? Absolutely. Not everyone is a nerd like me.

Después de muchos años aún sigue intacto, es fácil de transportar y se guarda con facilidad
