LINKCOOL 360° Rotation Flexible Octopus Travel Stand for iPhone Smartphone iPad DSLR Action Camera, with Bluetooth Wireless Remote Shutter

I bought this to use with my cell phone, so I'm probably not using it to its full potential. I think I come pretty close. BUILD: It feels very sturdy! The legs covers are really, REALLY grip-y and flexible. I've been able to bend it into several different shapes now. I was able to get it to grab onto a vertical, metal rod about an inch in diameter, and I'm sure it would work on any other material with a slightly lower coefficient of friction. Although, you can re-straighten it pretty easily, it doesn't lose its altered form. Definitely seems like it will be functional for several years. The phone grip attachment is made of plastic, has 2 orientations of attachment, and has a foam pad for where your the back of the phone would be touching. It also seems to fit all phone sizes. Because the phone grips are also made out of plastic, the only potential problem I could see people having is ending up with a scratched phone if they're not using a phone case. However, I feel like almost everyone uses a phone case, so this will probably only affect a small number of the population. The ball-and-socket can be rotated vertically 180 degrees along a single vertical plane, and what looks to be around 30 degrees all around the axis perpendicular to the ground. Also, the attachment has a full 360-degree rotation along the plane parallel to the phone. BLUETOOTH: (I'm using an Android phone.) Pairing was very straightforward. As stated in the tiny manual: turn on Bluetooth on phone, switch on the remote, and click "AB Shutter 3" when it shows up on the list. The remote just presses the capture button, so it appears you can use it with all camera modes. I did tests for regular photo and video using the default Camera app on my phone. They do have options to download their own app, but I don't like clutter and didn't bother testing it out. CONCLUSION: 5-stars. The only thing i'd like to to see improved is implementation of a rubberized/padded grip on the phone attachment, but this doesn't affect me at all as I do use a phone case. I can't think of any other improvements that would detract from the sturdiness of its current build! Would definitely recommend getting this product.

Nice Product

I needed a stand to use my iPhone for online music lessons and originally tried a selfie stick, but the remote didn't work with iOS. This phone tripod, true to it's description, connects seamlessly to my iPhone7 with the bluetooth remote and works for stills as well as video! The stand itself seems sturdy, the clamp is plenty big for my phone with case and the 3 legs twist easily into whatever shape is needed for support. There is a strange smell coming from the grippy coating on the legs that irritated my asthma, thus the reason for 4 stars, but I'll try setting it outside for a few days to air out. Overall, I think this will work great!

I’ve only had this thing for a few minutes and already love it! As someone starting to make videos this will be really useful instead of balancing my phone on top of random items. It has a phone holder, go-pro holder, and remote included (connected to Bluetooth easily). Batteries for remote too! The phone holder is secure and as you can see by picture, you can remove it by clicking the red buttons in so if you’d like to check your videos or photos before taking down the stand you can! The legs are easy to bend, but strong enough to hold phone up. They are also grippy which is great to hold onto surfaces. I’ve seen some review saying it can wrap around a golf club and stay. I do recommend this for anyone looking for a good stand at least starting out if you’re wanting to make videos or take photos on the go!

Great way to position my phone on many uneven surfaces. Legs hold their shape and are grippy. Camera is snug, no worries of it falling out of holder. The small fob to take pictures with works great. Instructions say fob works 30 ft away, it was more like 20 ft, but it works. This has worked great for us. It's lightweight and portable. It works with my Samsung phone.

The Phone Tripod LINKCOOL is an incredibly versatile accessory. Its 360-degree rotation and flexible legs allow me to capture shots from various angles with ease. It's compatible with both smartphones and small cameras, making it a reliable choice for photography and videography. The build quality is robust, and it holds devices securely. Whether I'm shooting vlogs, time-lapses, or group photos, this tripod delivers stability and adaptability. It's a valuable addition to my photography gear, and I appreciate its convenience and durability. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a portable and flexible tripod for their devices.

This is the second tripod that I bought. I had to return the first (different brand ) since the remote control did not work. This one works just perfectly on an iPhone 16 pro even though the teeny tiny print inside the instructions for the remote say that it only works iPhone 3, 4, 5. Very easy to set up. And it’s really nice because it has a way that you can just squeeze these two things to take your phone off and your phone can then maintain the mount piece that goes right back on if you want. So if you were to change locations or something that would work well. Also, the legs are sturdy and wrap very well around things.

Build quality is good enough. Silicone legs are great, but the joint / connection ring is made of flimsy plastic that feel brittle, may crack and break if I stretch the legs too hard. Phone mount is very squeaky that screams “I need oil”. Great size for phone IMO that can actually grab onto poles. I’ve used smaller Joby gorilla pod and it’s really not sturdy or as useful. Will need sizes such as this. The biggest issue I have is the remote. It pairs really fast everytime, but it has really limited range/sensitivity. If the remote is hiding behind something or someone, the phone would not receive the signal even while I’m taking selfie /wefie at an arm’s length. This is definitely not the typical Bluetooth device should behave. Used this on iPhone X.
