Pros:• It’s good in height and stability.• Good value.Cons:• The attachments to mount your phone in is difficult, and painful when you have to remove your phone. You will always pinch yourself removing your phone from the grips by force as a result.• The owners manual is not as informative as it should when pairing the remote to Bluetooth. I had to ask for clarification on this process to find that (some) remotes have a protective film blocking the signal when attempting to pair to Bluetooth. In my case, my remote did not have a protective film and I had to remove then reinstall the battery in order to connect to Bluetooth successfully.• The mounts are misaligned when placed on the tripod.• The bracket where you attach the phone mounts aren’t very stable. It’s loose by design, which could break over time.————————Final Review:Overall, it’s not a bad tripod. It serves its purpose but it does need some improvement.It might be limiting for certain phones, i wouldn't say my phone is that big. I have an Lg Stylo 3 and i had to remove my case to use the tripod. I'd say overall it was a decent purchase especially for the money. It has a pretty sturdy base and a solid structure to it. I'm happy with the purchase for the most part. I will add that i wish the swivel was a little more bit more stiffer or a little less flimsy. I'd still recommend it though.This works perfect for my task. It folds up nice and fits inside the saddle bag of my motorcycle. The remote and the mount both work with my I phone 12 pro max. After I do my road trip I will give an updated review.This is a great tripod! You just need to be very careful since it breaks easily. I am unable to stand my phone erectly on the top attachment without it either being at an angle now or just sliding to the side.I bought this stand to live stream sermons at our church through Facebook. It is amazing. The remote doesn't work with Facebook but it is still a great buy.Really like the heights in which you xan set this and the smaller footprint required to use it. I did not see qhen ordering that it came with a remote so nice added surprise. Face Recognition not rated cause mines not equipped.This is a substantial product with thick metal, quality build and obvious durability. The phone holder adequately handles a Galaxy S21 Ultra.The spring loaded phone holder broke on the first use. Don't buy.
