JOILCAN 68" Phone Tripod with Overhead Gooseneck & Remote Control for Smartphones

If you want a steadier view for selfies, group shots, or vlogging without juggling your phone, the JOILCAN 68" phone tripod is built around that idea. It combines a telescopic stand, a flexible gooseneck for overhead angles, and a remote shutter so you can shoot one-handed or from a distance. On paper it’s a lot of features for the category.

That said, “all-in-one” gear can be a mixed bag depending on what you’re filming. This one leans more towards practical everyday content and relaxed home/outdoor use than precision studio work. If that’s your aim, it’s easier to justify.

The essentials for day-to-day shooting

This JOILCAN tripod is designed for smartphones and also for action-camera-style accessories (the base description mentions action cameras with included accessories, plus things like a light ring). At the heart of it is a standard 1/4 screw mount, plus an extendable phone clip that’s adjustable for phones roughly 2.6" to 3.6" wide.

Where it stands out is the overhead gooseneck and the way the phone can be angled. The flexible neck is separated and can be turned for 360° positioning, which is handy when you’re trying to frame yourself on a bed, sofa, desk, or tabletop without awkward arm angles. It’s the sort of setup that makes recordings feel more “intentional” even if you’re not using a dedicated camera rig.

What’s really useful about the 360° gooseneck

The separated gooseneck is meant for adjusting your view quickly, including overhead shots. That matters because overhead angles can be hard to get consistently with a basic tripod—especially if you’re filming from a couch or in tight rooms.

A practical example: imagine you’re doing a quick cooking clip. You set the tripod up, clip your phone in, then curve the gooseneck so the lens points down onto the chopping board. Instead of moving your whole setup every time you reposition, you adjust the neck and keep the rest stable. It’s a small thing, but it reduces the fiddling.

Keep in mind it’s geared towards angle flexibility, not necessarily heavy-duty motion stability like you’d expect from higher-end camera tripods. If you plan to film lots of dynamic movement, it may feel more “handheld-friendly” than “cinema-grade”.

A 2-in-1 selfie stick + tripod setup

The unit can switch into a selfie-stick style by pulling out the central column. With the phone support that rotates up to 360°, you can aim for different angles for selfies, group photos, vlogging, and live streaming.

This is one of the more convincing aspects of the design if you’re the type of person who travels with one piece of gear and wants options once you reach your destination. It also helps if you share space with other people—your filming setup can be compact when you’re not using it.

Remote control: convenience, not complexity

The tripod includes a remote shutter for iOS and Android. The description says it’s compatible with a wide range of phone models, and it even mentions use cases like taking selfies or group photos from up to 30 feet away.

That distance claim is useful if you’re trying to avoid being “in the shot” holding the phone. Still, remote shooting is one of those features that depends on environment—light, positioning, and whether your app is supported in the way you expect. It’s not something you should rely on as a substitute for good framing.

Height range and portability (where value lives)

The telescopic pole is listed as 3-stage and adjustable from 19.7" to 68", including the gooseneck and phone holder. On top of the reach, the description states the tripod weighs about 580g (1.27lbs) and comes with a transport bag.

For most buyers, that’s the sweet spot: it’s light enough to bring along, and tall enough to lift the camera for seated filming or a slightly higher tabletop angle. If you’re regularly shooting outdoors or shifting locations, the carry bag is a sensible inclusion rather than an afterthought.

Compatibility and what to double-check before buying

This JOILCAN tripod is aimed at smartphones with a width between about 2.6" and 3.6", using the included extendable phone clip. It also uses a standard 1/4 mount for accessories.

Two things to be careful about:

• The phone width range matters. If your device case makes your phone thicker than expected, the clip may not sit as securely.
• Remote shutter compatibility is broad in the description, but your specific iPhone/Android model and the camera app you use can affect how smooth it feels in practice.

If you’re comfortable checking phone fit and planning around basic stabilisation, this tripod’s feature set is easier to appreciate.

Who it’s for (and who should skip it)

It makes sense if you want a smartphone tripod that covers overhead angles (via the gooseneck), can switch to selfie-stick mode, and adds a remote for easier group shots. It suits casual vloggers, streamers doing home content, and anyone who shoots selfies or photos on the move and wants fewer awkward setups.

It may not suit you if you’re chasing maximum stability for long, heavy sessions, or if your filming style involves lots of quick, unpredictable movement where a lightweight tripod can feel limiting. Also, if you already own a dedicated stabilised setup and only need one narrow function, this could end up as “extra features you don’t use”.

Mini FAQ

Does the clip fit all smartphones?

The description gives a phone width range of about 2.6" to 3.6" for the stretchable clip. If your phone (especially with a thick case) falls outside that, it may not clamp securely.

Can it do overhead shots?

Yes. It includes a flexible gooseneck meant for overhead-style positioning, including 360° turning.

Is the remote for iPhone and Android?

The description says the remote shutter supports both iOS and Android and is compatible with various iPhone and Android models.

How tall does it go?

It’s listed as 3-stage adjustable from 19.7" up to 68", including the gooseneck and phone holder.

When it makes sense

Buy the JOILCAN 68" phone tripod if you want one smartphone rig that can handle tabletop or overhead angles, switch into selfie-stick mode, and give you a remote shutter for group photos and vlogging. The lightweight build and included transport bag also point to practical, on-the-go use.

Skip it if you need maximum stability for demanding filming, or if your priority is a single feature (like just a basic selfie stick) where this may feel like more kit than you need.
