Fugetek 42" Compact Selfie Stick & Tripod, Extendable, Wireless Bluetooth Remote, Lightweight Aluminum, Travel Ready, Compatible with iPhone 14 13 12 Pro Xs Max Xr X 8Plus 7 & Android

Amazing stick. Very sturdy, and easily and quickly extendable and collapsable. The spring-loaded "C" clamp that you wedge your phone into is much better designed and confidence-inspiring than any other selfie stick I've encountered (most of which actually try to spit your phone out and onto the ground). The screw-down "C" clamp is even more confidence inspiring. My best friend and I REALLY liked the square mirror plate that snugly snaps on to the back of the spring-loaded "C" clamp...it REALLY helps you to take good selfies when you can see yourself, what is behind you AND where you are relative to what's behind you (it takes a little practice to work out (in your brain) how what is in the mirror corresponds to what is going to be in the frame/shot/camera view based on how you are extending the stick out from your body (straight out, off to the side, etc.), but once you and your brain comprehend these variables, you'll get a pattern down and will wind up with some amazing selfies). My best friend and I went on a 14-day trip through Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Tangiers, Casablanca and Marrakech, taking 9,390 pictures total (about 4,500 of which were taken with this selfie stick), and we have a ton of selfies where you can't even tell it's a selfie based on the way I set up/held the stick.PROS:* Stick Extension Length (furthest I've ever personally seen)* Ease of adjustment of the various tubes, and the death grip the tightening clamps have on the tubes so they don't move.* Comfortable Rubberized Grip* Removable Wireless Fob (this was great for a number of reasons...1) the battery life on this is amazing. My friend and I would go from 8am until midnight every day of the trip, and the fob would be turned on and connected to my iPhone via Bluetooth the entire day, and mind you, we'd be taking over 300 pictures a day, and NOT ONCE did the fob run out of battery. I'd plug it in at night and it would blink while it recharged and would go solid when it was fully charged, and it was never blinking for very long....2) I love the fact that the fob is removable because then you can do remote things, like take candids of your travel partner so she's not always posing for the camera but is actually just "being", and also it's fun to set up the phone somewhere with you and your friend in frame (say, eating lunch at a table in a restaurant overlooking a square or some veranda), and occasionally clicking the fob to get some candids of the experience...ie: the camera phone doesn't have to be at the end of the selfie stick as it does with corded sticks, but instead can be placed a little bit further away on a shelf or table and triggered remotely.* Ridiculous (in a good way) battery life.* Very sturdy construction.* Wrist strap* Tripod threading in base of handle in case you wanted to set this up on a mini-tripod for a tripod selfie (with the remote/fob hidden in your hand).The stick got tons of looks in Europe (especially from people who has those cheap, shiny-inside-of-a-beer-can-aluminum (and probably made from the same stuff), flimsy $10.00 corded selfie sticks that everybody on planet earth seems to have, that spit your phone out onto the ground, are corded, cave under the weight of today's cell phones and thus aren't able to support the phone for vertical shots (and instead the shaft keeps rotating, allowing the mass of the camera and gravity to dictate your picture instead of you), and seem to not take button presses very well).The stick was so different than every other stick we'd seen over there (and I'm assuming that anybody else had seen over there), that we even had 2 homeless guys in Barcelona ask me what kind of stick it was because they'd never seen one like that before.CONS: (not really "cons", but more like a necessary evils)* The fob's battery lasts so long because it goes into sleep mode if you haven't used it in "x" amount of time (I think it's like a minute or two). Having said that, if you leave the fob on all the time (and connected to your phone via Bluetooth), but it goes to sleep, you'll need to press the button to re-establish its connection to your phone before you can press it again and get the phone to take the picture. In other words, if you see a shot that you want and you have to get it right away, make sure to press the button first to "wake it up", then once the blue light on the fob stops blinking (indicating that it has re-established contact with the phone), THEN take your picture. I didn't know this at the beginning of the trip and missed some great shots because the fob was still asleep the first time I pressed the button after not having used it for a little while.* The grip is molded in such a way that the fob fits neatly and tightly into the rubberized grip. I was always worried that the fob might fall out and then I'd be screwed for the rest of the trip without the fob. There was nothing to indicate that this would happen, as I said the fit of the fob into the grip is nice and snug (I just always like to be prepared for the worst). So, I wound up getting a velcro zip tie at Home Depot and just wrapped one around the grip and the fob to guarantee that I could throw the selfie stick off a cliff and the fob wouldn't come out of the grip (but that when I wanted to take the fob out, I could just undo the velcro sip tie and unwed the fob from it's cubby. As I said, there was not one incident before I got the velcro zip tie where the fob fell out, or even came close (this was just my personal solution to (maybe not even) a potential problem).Having said all of that, this is, by far, IMO, THE best selfie stick on the market....hands down.

Well made each section when extended holds the phone securely and doesn't move left or right when taking a selfie Only issue I have is the phone cradle (what holds the phone) is not spring loaded so it has to be screwed out. This takes a bit of time BUT when the thumb screw is tightened down it will hold the phone securely unlike a spring loaded cradle and I really like that!! Remote comes with a spare battery also!! When collapsed to store mode it's not real small but can be put into a purse or small pack.

I ordered this to take with me to graduate school this coming fall. My brother is an IT tech and researched several products before recommending this one because of the bluetooth capabilities.The stick portion is sturdy and heavy duty. I am impressed at how well that part is made. It isn't lightweight or flimsy. However, the first reason I give the product 4 stars instead of 5 is because the stick can be a teensy bit heavy to hold with one hand, mostly if you are a lightweight person or don't have any muscle strength in your arm (older people, for example - or those who never exercise). If you are using both hands to hold the stick, there isn't really a problem. I'm not sure there is a way to make the stick lightweight AND durable, so if you prefer durability, this is definitely a good product for that, and the heaviness can be overlooked. I tend to use the selfie stick with one hand, and the handle is a little hard to hold one-handed.The second reason I give it 4 stars is because the bluetooth device feels cheap compared to the rest of the product. It's obvious the stick and the clips to hold the camera were made very well and designed to hold up, but the bluetooth piece snaps in and out of the handle of the stick, and it's just cheap, light plastic. Even the buttons feel a bit cheap. I was disappointed in that, when compared to the rest of the product. I'll have to be careful with it, to avoid damaging it. However, it is nice to snap it out of the handle and hold it in your other hand to take different angle photos. If you don't want to take it out, you can leave it in the handle and press it directly from the handle, and not worry about damaging it at all.I haven't used the mirror attachment, but it is a nice extra feature in case you prefer using the front-facing camera instead of the rear-facing camera. The mirror attachment is also cheap plastic but at least gives you an idea of what you're doing if you want to use front-facing. The main clip for the camera (there are two) is very sturdy and well made. I had a selfie stick once with a terrible clip in it - the camera kept falling out. I do NOT have that problem with the main clip on this stick! It locks my iPhone 6 in tightly and I don't worry about my phone slipping out. I have carried the stick extended, with my phone in the clip, over pavement without any concern. The secondary clip (the one that the mirror attachment fits on) is for quick pictures and I haven't used it yet, since I prefer the sturdier main clip to keep my camera in. But the secondary clip looks like it would work fine. It has a spring attachment to snap your camera in, while the main clip screws down on your camera.The website provides excellent tech support. NOTE: The product does NOT come with instructions inside the box. You will have to go to the Fugetek website and view the videos for instructions on how to use attachments. But the videos are helpful and easy to follow. I had problems setting up my bluetooth and the website was able to walk me through the set up with no problems.Overall, I think this product is better than most on the market. It is sturdy and my camera hasn't fallen out yet, which is a huge plus.

Took this on my cruise trip worked perfect, may not have been 100% sturdy due to my phone being a pro max but it did the job

It's bigger than I hoped it would be. I'm bummed the zoom feature doesn't work on iPhones! It's clunky and takes time to put together, especially when you're trying to capture a quick group photo, you've gathered everyone but still have to set it up. It would be better if it was a tension type quick lift and secure type instead of screw type for the phone. And seems like it could made in a better way to fold down more compact. It seems pretty sturdy so far.
