ATUMTEKSelfie 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

It was a little daunting opening it out fully - but it’s exactly what I wanted! It’s compact so it’s easy to take anywhere with you! It’s firm and stable and actually looks quite professional!

This is a clever device which folds small enough to fit into a large pocket. It appears to be well made and does everything advertised.

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 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.

I bought this because my old Selfie Stick stopped working.Very impressed the tripod a bonus (old one didn't have). Easy to use. The remote switch very good (old one didn't have).Easy to connect to the phone. The remote switches off after 10 minutes, I didn'y find this an issue as it was easy to re-connect. 10 out of 10.

I cannot recommend this product enough!I have reviewed it before as I bought it almost 4 years ago to use as a tripod for filming during lockdown and it has been far more useful than I thought. It is so well built and sturdy, even when extended to its full height it maintains stability. I love that it will accommodate device in landscape or portrait and the tripod legs are adjustable in isolation from the extension so that it can be used in narrower spaces too.The remote is great, pairs easily, works from a good distance in tripod mode and is well positioned to use in selfie-stick mode. I didn't expect to use this as a selfie stick much but it's great for fun family pictures (my little niece loves being in charge of the button while we all pose) and - as a short person - great to take shots over the top of crowds!The customer service from Atumtek is absolutely above and beyond - I lost the remote button (through my own actions, not due to design fault) and explained the situation to them, wondering if I could buy a replacement button. Unfortunately they were unable to provide specific parts but after a short discussion verifying purchase etc they actually sent me a whole new product as replacement for free. I was not expecting this at all as my purchase was so long ago it is out of warranty, and also the fault was due to me, so I was blown away by this level of service.

I like this product, although, I wish the telescopic leg was a just a bit longer. Very stable and feels and looks well made. Quick and easy to set up. Fits my iPhone 8, no problem.Delivered quickly without issue.

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!
