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

Most selfie sticks feel like they are one enthusiastic swing away from collapse. This one from Smatree is built from aluminum and feels reassuringly solid from the moment you pick it up. It extends from about 12 inches up to just over 36 inches using a twist-lock system that clicks firmly into place at each segment. The ball head at the top provides full 360-degree rotation and 90-degree tilt, so you can dial in your exact angle. The small three-leg tripod base screws into the bottom and actually stays stable on its own, which opens up a lot of hands-free shooting possibilities. Compatibility is broad. It works with GoPro mounts, standard 1/4-inch tripod threads for compact cameras, and a phone clamp for smartphones in the 56-80mm width range. I used this with both a GoPro and a Ricoh Theta and it handled both without any wobble or slippage. Collapsed, it is compact enough to drop into a bag without taking up much space. A small wrist strap is included for extra security. For the price, the build quality genuinely surprises you.

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.

I needed a small light weight stand that would hold my smart phone when I went on hikes, camping trips, family gatherings, etc. I have a regular camera tripod which is sturdy and provides a good solid camera platform, but it is big and bulky. I came across this tripod/selfie stick and it had all the features I was looking for. When fully extended with the folding stand attached it is just under 4 feet long. Fully collapsed with the legs removed it is about 14 inches long. It has a ball mount on the end that allows the mounting platform to swivel 360 degrees in a horizontal plane and fold down 90 degrees in the vertical plane. I was mainly concerned with durability and the tripod is very sturdy and made out of strong (but light) aluminum. I wanted a sturdy stand to get good photos (no blurred photos from an unsteady stand) and this item includes a strong well made three leg stand that can be detached for storage. It comes with a typical expandable bracket that holds most smart phones (it was tight but I was able to fit my iPhone 6 plus with a thick Otter case). I gave it 4 stars only because I would have preferred a more sophisticated ball mount with maybe a short adjustment arm with a bubble gauge and some markings to get the camera relatively level instead of having to eyeball it, but for the price the ball mount it comes with does the job.

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!!!

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!

The legs on the tri-pod broke after three uses, didn't do anything crazy either it got looser and looser everyone I used it. I tried tightening it and the screw just fell apart. Bummed about this the stick itself is well made just not the leg attachment.

**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 own two of these. Very convenient and easy to use. I like how it breaks down just shy of 13” with out the tripod attachment. Fully extended is about 37 1/2” which is just over 3ft without tripod attachment. You can also screw on additional selfie sticks. As I mentioned before I own 2. I can adjust both all the way up to 6’ 2” to bottom of camera fully extended. As for the phone holder. It can hold my iPhone XS Max protection case fairly tight. Bottom screw hole or back/flat screw hole on holder. Can attach different kinds of cameras. Has a GoPro style hinge & screw style included at tip of stick. Can be removed. Adjustable ball & socket that can Bend up to 90 degrees with lock lever. Screw hole at bottom of selfie handle too. Rubber handle with textured grip. I don’t like how it can twist and move with a little play but not a big deal to me. Has a nifty wrist strap. Tripod Aluminum base nice and sturdy. Full setup light weight. I easily store or stash these in any of my backpacks to go cycling or backcountry snowboarding & ski tours. I also use this with a Rylo 360 camera fully extended out of my backpacks. It gives me a very tight hovering drone looking footage. With that camera the stick is completely invisible except shadows in video footage. Even with rough bumps this stick doesn’t collapse during activities. Operates fine in very cold temperatures. I highly recommend this product and at that price it’s money well spent. Hope this helps you out and gets you great shots!

I purchased the model without a remote control. I use this item so much with my 360° camera, it's perfect for my needs. Very versatile due to the removable tripod base to use as a standalone or with the adjustable height extension pole. It all adjusts down to a pole a little over a foot long and is very easy to carry around. The parts that need to be quality and heavy duty are, and the parts that perform the lighter actions are fit for purpose too. Twist the pole sections to unlock and extend to your desired height and simply twist in the opposite direction to collapse. Regarding comments about the tripod feet becoming loose... mine have been fine for 6 months or so having a little resistance when positioning the feet. I left it in my car for several days in cold weather and they became very loose. They still did the job so not a big problem to me but i have noticed the resistance returning when kept somewhere warm... like i say, not a major problem for me either way. The item has a nice rubber comfort grip and a wrist strap when walking and carrying your camera between photo opportunities. I would only use this item for small compact cameras, mobile phones, go-pros etc and cameras such as my small Samsung 360°. Anything large would make it too top heavy in my humble opinion. Really like the item and so glad i bought it, it's been perfect, highly recommend.

Worthy the cash

Trépied en plus de la grandeur et de la solidité de la perche, c'est le top! La poignée anti dérapante est agréable au touché. Je recommande pour les personnes voulant faire des photos avec son smartphone. La pince est fournie avec!

Niet zoveel om op aan te merken. Gewoon een goeie stick. Let wel op dat de lengte inclusief de ingeklapte voet is. Zonder voet is de stock een stuk kleiner.

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