Tripod for iPhone, Flexible Phone Tripod with Remote

The bottom up: The feet are little rubber cup things that stick over a metal ball at the bottom, simple and effective. The slider/flip open locks that you open to make this thing get TALL. There is the little arm you swing out (mine was kind of stuck behind the leg, so look for a it, it is there... I missed it at first) and crank it to raise the top part. I got it straight up to my eyes, and I'm 6ft 1. this thing is tall! that picture with the light is from straight across, my phone was on my mantel taking that picture, it wasn't some upwards angle to make it look taller. Overall this feels more than capable of holding my phone while i try to get pictures of the aurora.. that's about all it'll ever see action in, i don't own any other camera, but this is leaps ahead of the weird cheap little other sites tripods. One issue with the cell phone holder, i can get it to screw in flat, but standing it up, I can't get the screw to actually thread in. The little clicker appears to be bluetooth, just link it to your phone and you've got a remote picture button. I am in IT and cyber security so I honestly just don't trust anything, so I did not and am not going to link this to my phone but I honestly doubt there is anything nefarious with it, and I have an app on my watch that controls the camera on my phone anyway, so I really don't need to carry anything to do it. Overall I'm very happy with this, it's light, the bag has a handle and a drawstring, it's easy to set up and take back down. Highly recommend. The other negative is probably more just against walmart. This came in a box that LITERALLY could have held 12 of these tripods. There is no need for that kind of oversized box, it's ridiculous. You need to do better. If you only have 4 sizes of shipping boxes, might I suggest adding a 5th, one between "pretty good size for most things" and "can hold an elephant".

Love this set up. Will pair well with my phone and camera
