You can't beat the price and ease of use compared to others. You can use this for "selfies", although I hate that word, film yourself or make vlogs, connect to the front camera and you can use it to get stable pictures and videos. Unfold the tripod and you can use the tripod for stable pictures and videos. You can use it for interval shooting or hyperlapse. The remote shutter release is simple and works instantly. Works nice and easy
