Selfie stick tripod with LED lights

If you only need a simple way to hold your phone for a quick selfie, a basic stick may be enough. This extendable selfie stick tripod is aimed at people who also want hands-free framing and built-in fill lighting for videos, calls or group shots. Its detachable remote and adjustable phone holder add flexibility without making it a dedicated camera rig.

The main appeal is having the stand, lighting and remote in one setup.

What to know

The pole extends from 22.7 to 135 cm and the phone holder rotates for portrait or landscape framing. It offers a 225° vertical adjustment range and 360° horizontal rotation, so you can change the angle without needing to reposition the whole stand every time. The base uses an umbrella-style structure and silicone non-slip pads, those details are intended to help it stand on different surfaces, though they are not a guarantee against movement in every setting.

Two detachable LED fill lights provide warm, blended white and white modes, with two brightness settings for each. That gives you six lighting combinations to choose from. It’s a useful extra when a room is dim or your face is backlit, but it is fill lighting rather than a substitute for a larger light source.

The remote is detachable, has a stated wireless range of up to 10 m and is listed as compatible with iOS 5.1+ and Android 4.4+. The phone clip can also convert into a desktop stand. Keep in mind that the pole reaches a substantial height, so take care when positioning it fully extended, especially if you want a steady frame.

Best use cases

This setup makes sense for a family photo where the person taking it wants to join the group, or for a video call when you’d rather not prop your phone against books. It can also suit short-form videos and casual recording, with the lights helping when overhead room lighting is unflattering. The 1/4-inch standard screw connector adds flexibility, while the detachable phone clip can serve as a stand for viewing or calls.

You’ll need a compatible phone for the holder and remote. The listing names iPhone models from 6 through 16 and several Samsung Galaxy and Note models, and also states Android compatibility. If you use another device, don’t assume the phone clip will fit just because it can detach.

Tips for day-to-day use

Set the tripod on a stable surface before extending the pole, then adjust the phone angle and choose a light colour that suits the room. For a quick group shot, place the stand where everyone fits in frame, step back and use the remote rather than reaching for the phone. For a desk call, the detachable clip can be used as a desktop stand, you may prefer to leave the pole shortened for a more compact setup.

Buying questions

Does it support portrait and landscape shooting? Yes. The holder supports vertical and horizontal modes, with stated 225° vertical adjustment and 360° horizontal rotation.

Can the lights be adjusted? Yes. There are three colour modes and two brightness settings for each, for six combinations in total.

Is the remote included in the setup? The product description specifies a detachable remote, with a wireless range of up to 10 m and compatibility listed for iOS 5.1+ and Android 4.4+.

Is it worth it?

This is worth considering if you’ll use more than one part of the package: the extended stand for framing, the remote for hands-free shots, and the LEDs for dimmer rooms. Compared with choosing a simpler stick or stand, its advantage is combining those jobs in one accessory. The trade-off is that the extra parts may be unnecessary if you only need a basic holder, and the available lighting is described as fill light rather than a more substantial lighting setup. Choose it for flexible everyday phone shooting, skip it if your priority is a minimal stand or more powerful dedicated lighting.
