Kaiess Phone Tripod 62-inch

The telescopic design extends from 13" to 62", so the Kaiess phone tripod can move from a tabletop setup to a taller position for group shots or video calls.

A seven-section tube and ring lock let you set the height you want. The listing says it takes about five seconds to adjust, which could be handy when you’re switching between a desk and a standing shot.

If you prioritize an adjustable stand that can also work as a selfie stick, this has more flexibility than a basic tabletop tripod. If you prefer a simpler setup with fewer moving parts, a fixed stand may be a better fit.

Getting the most from it

Use the lower setting for a video call at your desk, then extend the pole when you need to fit more people into the frame. The holder opens with two buttons and has soft silicone pads intended to protect the phone. Its maximum opening is listed as 3.6", so check your phone’s width against that limit before buying, the listing doesn’t provide a detailed compatibility list by phone model.

The head rotates 180°, while the phone holder adjusts 360°. That range gives you room to switch between portrait and landscape framing and to point the phone at different angles. A wireless remote is included and clips onto the tripod. Its stated working range is up to 40 feet, which can help when you want to take a group photo without reaching for the phone. The remote is described as compatible with Apple and Android phones.

Why it’s worth it

The useful distinction here is that the pole can serve as both a phone tripod and an extendable selfie stick, rather than keeping you to one fixed height. The listing also describes a universal 1/4" screw for attaching most cameras, action cameras and webcams, so the holder isn’t the only stated mounting option. That may suit someone who wants one stand for casual photos, vlogging, livestreams or FaceTime rather than a dedicated camera support.

The material is described as more resistant to breaking and rust than other metal tripods, and the listing says it can be used at a beach or pool. Still, it gives no weather-resistance rating or weight limit. Based on the listed details, don’t treat those claims as confirmation that the tripod is waterproof or suited to heavier equipment. For outdoor use, a phone is the clearest match, for a valuable camera, the missing load information matters.

Key takeaways

• Extends from 13" to 62" and can also be used as a tabletop tripod.
• The phone holder opens to a listed maximum of 3.6" and has silicone pads.
• A remote, rotational head and adjustable holder offer several ways to frame a shot.
• The 1/4" screw is listed as compatible with most cameras, action cameras and webcams, but specific models and a weight limit aren’t provided.

It makes sense if you want a height-adjustable phone stand for home, travel or group photos and value having a remote close at hand. The trade-off is that the listing leaves out details that would help assess stability with different devices.

When to choose it

Choose this Kaiess if you’ll use the full height range, want to take hands-free photos, or expect to alternate between a phone and other devices with a 1/4" mount. For a quick example, extend it for a family photo, clip the remote to the stand, and step into the frame without asking someone else to take the shot.

Better to avoid it if you need a specified load rating, a confirmed weatherproof design, or a stand built around a particular camera setup. Those details aren’t given, so a more specialised support may be the safer choice when equipment weight or outdoor conditions are a deciding factor.
