Smatree Telescoping Selfie Stick with Tripod Compatible for Insta360 X5, for GoPro Hero 13/12/11/10/9/8/7/6/5, for OSMO 5 Pro/4/3/Ricoh Theta, Compact Camera and Phone

I am totally pleased with this product. It is excellent value for the price and does everything that I hoped for! Though I’m not likely to use for ‘selfies’in the pop sense, I am very happy with the ease of setting it up as a small/compact/light weight tripod for use with my GoPro video camera or my Android. I’m using it to hold either device (GoPro or Android) for recording some of my classical guitar practice sessions. Set up is a snap! I love the attachment that grips my Android - so simple to use - which I then can screw onto the tripod with either a vertical or horizontal orientation - both are possible. The coupling attachment for use with GoPro is made with the GoPro mating foot in mind and so its a snap to secure the camera to the tripod as well. I have a heavier duty tripod that I purchased years ago for use with a 35mm camera. It is large and bulky and since my practice room is on the smaller side, I wanted something smaller that wouldn’t take up too much space. Although I had in mind a smaller table top tripod - this item in it most compact setup still sits too high for the tabletop viewing angle I had in mind. When fully extended it sits stably on the floor supported by its 3 legs which look designed to be spread to the full horizontal position as opposed to 45deg or so angles. This brings the camera to about eye level (I’m 6ft tall) as I sit in a chair to play guitar. The camera/android holder sits on a swivel head to permit variable angulation of the device. This tripod occupies a small footprint and sports a sleek black appearance sitting unobtrusively in my music room. I am impressed with its sturdiness and quality craftsmanship. Totally pleased with the purchase. Probably will order another as a last minute Christmas ‘stocking stuffer’ for my daughter who also plays classical guitar so we can share selfie videos.

Ok where to begin? The Smatree tripod/selfie stick is awesome. I wasn't expecting much for the $, but lo and behold I'm shocked at the quality. I've got a couple of the el'cheapo selfie sticks that when extended bend like a fly-rod with any weight on the mount. This thing fully extended is rock-solid, perfectly straight. Twist locks on each section are positive and stay locked. The ball mount 1/4x20 thread is aluminum and feels solid. The detachable tri-leg short section is heavy duty aluminum with rubber tips on feet ends keep it from sliding. It also has a 1/4x20 threaded top of aluminum. The rubber handle section on selfie-stick portion is nice and grippy, doesn't feel cheap seems to be well attached. This does have a wrist lanyard, but it is useless if you plan on using the tripod legs as a extension in your hand. I kind of wish they had coated the tripod legs in a rubber coating, as the aluminum is nice but slick if your hands are wet/dusty. Specs: Length of selfie stick portion collapsed is 12", the tripod leg length collapsed is 7". Diameter of legs extended is around 12". Combined length collapsed is 19". Tripod deployed with selfie stick collapsed total height 14". Total height fully extended 38.5" +/- .5" Combined weight is right around 1.5 lbs. If you're looking for ultralight, this isn't for you. If you need a quality Tripod/Selfie stick with stability and adaptability BUY THIS NOW!!!

Got this to go with my Insta360 One - 360 Camera and was having issues with it at first due to the black knob on the side that loosens and tightens the tripod head. The issue - it was showing up in my 360 videos/photos since it was so close to the camera. But I figured out that if I just rotate it to the side just a little bit - like my picture shows - then it becomes invisible just like it's supposed to be! Perfection from just a little adjustment. So I thought I'd share that in case anyone else has that issue. Overall, I like the selfie stick and how you turn it to extend it and to lock it in. I love the tripod feet at the bottom. That part seems really well made and is really the reason I bought the whole setup. I wish that they made it so you could remove the tripod head and that there was just a 1/4 screw mount at the top. I really don't need the tripod head - tho I like having the option for my gopro mount. It should definitely be removable. Then I would have had zero issues with it from the start!

Perfect if you're looking to use your cellphone as a webcam behind your monitor for a more flattering video! I didn't want to spend $100+ on a tripod setup that I wasn't sure about so I went looking for a cheaper alternative and I am very happy I found this product! It's stable, compact enough for my desk with a hutch and it's extendable/adjustable height pole works very well! The included cellphone attachment holds my Pixel 6 Pro (163.9 x 75.9 x 8.9 mm (6.45 x 2.99 x 0.35 in)) and I don't have to take it out of its protective case! As far as a selfie stick - I would feel perfectly confident using this product in a calm/controlled/studio environment but I would not recommend using the included cellphone accessory if you're looking for something you can be physical with such as running, climbing, or jumping as I think the phone could slip out if enticed somehow. I highly recommend this product to any streamer or individual that's interested in using their cellphone as a webcam. Your cellphone camera is way better than any webcam and nearly matches the quality of a DSLR so consider this option instead of spending way more money on something especially if you have an old cellphone sitting in a drawer that you could use as a webcam!

So this is a solid product. It feels solid. The base is metal and it won’t just fall over. One issue is that the segments twist lock in place. When I got it I was thinking it looked a little shorter then expected. I looked st the pics online and said “wow they sent a wrong unit or it’s different!” The pictures online showed more segments. After some twisting and an unusually hard pull whammo it completely extended! I read some people complaining it was shorter then stated and this is why. You need to extend and then twist and make sure any other segments aren’t locked down. Once that was done it was a breeze. It goes down unlocked and opened and then I twist it locked in place. One note. I decided to keep the base attached to the stick. This makes it a little long about 16-18 inches if you do this. May look like a weapon. For me it’s easier to tie to my backpack and well ... if I need to hit a pickpocket I’m ready! I’m using this with an iPhone Max and it works. The holder is a little tight but seems fine. Better then other sticks. So far this is the best stick I’ve had and the best with a tripod

Not a bad selfie stick, but not something I would attach a $1000 phone. I'm using it for a GoPro. Stick "telescopes" by twisting to unlock. This process is not very smooth, but works and when "locked" seem sturdy enough. The "lock" for the ball head locks up which leave potential danger of it being accidently knocked down (unlocked). The rubber on stick itself will "rotate" when twisting to extend/retract rod - annoying but something I can live with. While the "leg" section is a bit heavier, I would be scared to attach anything but a GoPro with it standing by itself - if you absolutely need this feature, get a tripod or a monopod with "legs". As a selfie stick, this product works fine.

**Note: this review is for pairing the selfie stick/tripod with a point and shoot camera** I absolutely love this! It's sturdy, compact, looks good, and super practical. The quality of both the stick and tripod is fantastic, and feels comfortable to hold with the rubber grip. I use this for my compact/ point and shoot camera (Sony RX-100 II) and it fits the screw of the selfie stick. So far, I've have this for about 4 months and have brought this with me on vacations, to hikes, arboretums, and beaches, and with the tripod attachment I am finally able to take full-body family pictures and pictures with friends without needing to bug a passerby to hold the camera for us. My camera is heavier than most cell phones, but in tripod configuration and at its full extension, I didn't have much issues with the stability of having a top heavy camera being supported with a small tripod at the bottom. However, I do take care to make sure its on leveled ground and try to place this on top of grass just in case it does tips over. On selfie stick mode, it does get a little uncomfortable/tiring at times when holding it for long periods of time and at half-extended length (center of gravity becomes pretty off so you really have to grip it) but I can forgive this since I don't keep it at that extension often. I'd also would like to point out that this doesn't extend very far, that even as a tripod fully extended, the shots would be taken at a pretty low elevation (about hip-level?) which might be a con if you're looking to have something that can do eye-level shots. But otherwise if you're okay with this, I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for a great quality, portable, and stylish selfie stick that also functions like a tripod.

I love this thing!!! I bought it for our new Akaso v50 elite and I love the versatility. This thing feels great and seems well built. Had no problem unlocking the sections and they lock right back up nice and tight. I like the action camera holder much better than the one that came with the v50E! The nut can fall off the v50’s and the one that came with this stick stays in place. The cell phone holder is pretty good and has two mounting points to hold the phone sideways or up and down. It’s tight like others have said but it does hold my 8 pulse with an otter box defender style case just fine. I can’t say enough about the tripod. It’s well built holds the stick with my phone or v50 rock solid. The thing is just too cool! Take it off and mount the v50 right to it and it will hold it and any height you set it to and it’s nice to carry the cameras just on the tripod for better control. For the price it can’t be beat!

Worthy the cash

Comme dit dans le titre, pour le moment je ne l'ai utilisé qu'avec une caméra, genre Gopro, et mon smartphone et ça tient très bien. Le trépied comme la perche sont en métal et ça donne une sensation de qualité et de robustesse. D'ailleurs après 5 weekends de randonnée, transporté dans mon sac à dos ou utilisé comme perche à selfie tout au long du chemin, aucun signe de fatigue ou d'usure prématuré. A voir dans le temps, mais très content de mon achat pour le moment

Me gustó mucho su estructura es sólida y estable...

Perfect for vlogging and high quality.

This is a great quality product
