Ultra-light tripod with Bluetooth remote shutter release

I needed an ultra-light and compact tripod that I could use with my iPhone 11 to set up and take photos quickly instead of our heavy but sturdy professional tripod to lug around . Unlike our professional tripod, it weighs just over one (1) pound, so I can easily take it with me anywhere, especially since it has a cute little carrying case that I can carry around with me. What's nice is that it can be used as a selfie stick. I'm not a big fan of selfies, but if I ever need to take one with family or friends, it comes in very handy. This tripod can be extended from 20" to 52" with quick release buckles to adjust and lock. . You can also rotate the phone holder 180 and 360 degrees to shoot from any angle. The phone holder has a wide base that slides out to accommodate most cell phones. I have an iPhone 11 and with my thick phone case I have to stretch it all the way and it fits quite snugly but it can still hold it. There is also a universal 1/4" screw, so this tripod is not only compatible with cell phones, but also with action cameras like GoPro, as well as mirrorless and SLR cameras like Sony, Nikon, Cannon, etc. Although I am I am not sure how stable it would be if you use it with a heavy DSLR, especially at max altitude due to physics. I would probably just use this with our smartphones and use our professional tripod with our nicer and heavier mirrorless camera. Although the tripod stands well, the material feels thin and not as strong as I would like, but it holds my iPhone well. An added bonus is the included Bluetooth remote shutter release. You can pair this with your smartphone simply by flipping the switch on the side of the remote control to the 'on' position and the blue light should flash. Then go to your Bluetooth settings and pair it with your 'AB Shutter3' device and it should connect immediately. This remote control makes it easy to take photos when you're ready. Please note that this remote control needs to be connected to a Bluetooth device and therefore will not work with your action cameras or regular cameras.

Pros
  • I'm holding my fists
Cons
