Great for my point and shoot camera, works well with my Sony RX-100 II!

**Note: This review is for a selfie stick/tripod combined with a compact camera** Love it so much! It is durable, compact, good looking and very practical. The quality of the stick and tripod is simply fantastic, they are comfortable to hold thanks to the rubber grip. I use this for my compact/point and shoot camera (Sony RX-100 II) and it fits on the selfie stick screw. So far I've had it for about 4 months and have taken it on vacations, camping trips, the arboretum and beaches and with the help of a tripod I can finally take full length photos of family and friends without having to listen to a passerby, to hold the camera for us. My camera is heavier than most cell phones, but in the tripod configuration and with the tripod fully extended I didn't have major stability issues with the heavy top camera supported by a small tripod below. However, I try to make sure it's on a level surface and try to place it on the grass in case it tips over. In selfie stick mode, it sometimes gets a bit uncomfortable/tiring to hold for long periods and half-extended (center of gravity shifts so you really have to hold it), but I can forgive that as I don't hold it often it extension. I'd also like to point out that it doesn't extend very far that even with the tripod fully extended it takes pictures from a fairly low height (about waist height?) which can be a con if you're looking for something that takes pictures can take on an equal footing. But other than that, if that suits you, I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a quality, portable, and stylish selfie stick that doubles as a tripod.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Functionality
