Review on UBeesize Phone Tripod: Portable, Adjustable Stand Holder with Wireless Remote & Universal Clip for Cellphones & Sport Cameras by Mark Sharma

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well. best of tripod heads

I base my 5 star rating on my brief demo of the product out of the box. I haven't used it extensively, but I feel like I have a good idea of how it's going to work. The reason I bought this particular portable tripod is the rotating phone holder (iPhone 7+ fits easily) which allows you to take both horizontal and vertical photos. One concern was the heaviness of the top. I successfully placed the phone on a tripod, rotated the phone holder to allow for vertical photos, and made sure it didn't tilt left or right. I wouldn't trust that on a 20+ foot ledge, but for the most part I think it will be safe. The ball joint is also adjustable and can be tightened to allow for stiffer/freer movement of the device. I also tried clickers. Feels cheap as others have mentioned but that's to be expected for the price. It connected very quickly and easily and took pictures with no problems. When the camera app isn't running, it adjusts the volume on my iPhone with the second button to increase, not decrease. One caveat I would like to give to potential buyers is that with any bent leg it will be difficult to get it back to "0". Once they are bent from a straight position I'm not sure if straightening them again will be too easy. I don't plant, I use them like that, but it was nice just in case. In general, it's top for the price and functionality. This would be a great camping/portable tripod for my use.

Pros
  • Get the perfect angle - adjustable octopus legs help you get clear shots from any angle, even on the go. You want a view that is difficult to achieve with a regular tripod. This is your best choice.
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
