BowerMultipod 6-in-1 Tripod Selfie Stick with Remote Shutter for Smartphones

Tripod is fine, but the camera remote is harder to deal with than it should be. The instructions say to charge, turn on, pair. There are no details or troubleshooting. However, we did figure it out. We marked on the remote which way is on and off because it is just blank, and that can be difficult when your kid is in a hurry.

heard good things about this product from my brother and law and best buy alot of good ratings on best buy about this product

Did not work for my Android

This product is a piece of junk. The camera isn't straight and it slides down when using the stick as a tripod. I tried to return the item but learned I have to pay for return shipping. Why is that information not included in the product description?

I really needed something I could use for taking photos while outdoors ... it is surprisingly hard to find a quality item for that purpose which includes bluetooth remote, etc. I'd pay 2, 3 or maybe even 4 times the price for something more sturdy. Bottom line, as others have mentioned, the construction on this is cheap, cheap, cheap! The legs feel like they are likely to snap off just upon opening them. They are connected with a small plastic hinge. There is no way this will last a long time.Beyond that hinge, the part that expands to hold the camera feels like hollow plastic and given the force it takes to open and close this onto the camera, my guess is that it will last a month, at best, before it snaps. You can just feel how cheaply made it is. Essentially the two most crucial pieces to make this function are the camera holder and the tripod legs, both of which the function would be lost if they fail. And they will.The bluetooth paired with my Android immediately, however to say it's quirky is an understatement. It is almost impossible to use it discretely when recording a video and often I find that even though I press the button, it does not start. So when I press the button to stop it, the recording actually starts. This happens 8 out of 10 times. Lately I've pressed the button twice to start and once to stop and then the same problem happens with stopping the video. Very rarely will I actually be able to start and stop a video when I want to.The camera works better taking single shots. I don't have much of a problem with this feature ... however, the Bluetooth absolutely drains the battery ... I was recording a 10 second video and due to the problem mentioned before, I had to do it in 15 takes. The battery had drained from 70% to 15% in only 20 minutes. If you take this out into nature to record or take photos using the Bluetooth, be near a charger or have a reserve battery pack! For this reason alone, I am returning!Another weird thing is that in order to take pictures, the device must be semi-visible to the phone. Meaning, it's hard to hide the device ... you basically almost have to point it at the camera and click it vs. hiding it behind your back or in your pocket. The device itself has jagged plastic pieces that come out where it clips onto the tripod for storage making it very awkward to hold. I can't believe they designed it this way.The metal extender pole is nice. I had no problem with it not holding the weight of my cell phone. There is no way it would support the weight of a DSLR camera and stay upright. Another big flaw is that the tripod is tippy as the legs don't lock into place and the pole slides around inside the ring, so getting a level shot is not easy. The little ball valve which swivels at the top is not level and you have to do some real work to make sure the phone is straight and not tilted. Also, you have to tighten the screw very tight in order to get the camera to the correct angle ... and the metal is cheap. Either the screw will break eventually ... or the metal on the ball it screws against will crush. No doubt about this.Overall, if you are looking for an almost disposable product that won't last ... but something that will be small enough to toss into a backpack or purse for selfie taking, I guess this will serve its purpose. I returned mine. Any suggestions on a high quality version of this would be welcome.

Bought this at a Best Buy used it once time for a Youtube Video I am just starting and figured its cheap and will give me a ring light .... Well that is a Joke I already had a Good Tripod So all I need it for was the light and that failed after one use and it never recharged not worth the money. I am now looking here for something with better reviews. They wonder why stores are failing this is why I could not even return it as they had a 15 day return and it took 3 days to figure out it would not charge the light even plugging it into a wall Save your money buy something with better reviews

I don't have much experience with phone tripods but my gripe with this product on first impression (I haven't used it much) is that it seems quite fragile and highly susceptible to breaking. When fully extended, the stick is wobbly. The tripod legs do not have additional support (nothing holding the legs together aside from the hinges). The tripod head has to be screwed in incredibly tight to keep your device in place. I imagine that this excessive torquing would not be good for the long-term health of the product. It will probably get to the point where the screw can no longer work as designed. Because of the way the tripod head is constructed, it's also a pain to try to straighten your device.Additionally, this is not mentioned in the instructions, but you will notice when you first take the product out of the box and attempt to use the tripod, you can't actually set it down properly because the base of the selfie stick is in the way. You need to pull out the selfie stick further with a significant amount of force and it may feel like you could break something.However, despite all these issues, it still does what you expect it to do, with the aforementioned problems. There are similar products out there with similar prices, but appear to have better construction. Overall, I do not recommend this product.

The springs inside of the frame that holds the camera popped out as soon as I tried to adjust it. Can't figure out a way to fix this. Really cheaply made product.

I received the product with some disassembled. I put it together BUT it seems like there is still something wrong with it. Follow up messages from/to the vendor didn't result in any solutions.

Only used it to hold my phone for Zoom workouts, but works great!
