POWOMAO Selfie Stick Tripod with Fill Lights (125cm) and Detachable Bluetooth Remote
Product description
The essentials
This POWOMAO selfie stick tripod is built for one specific pain point: you want photos and videos that don’t wobble, without hauling a full stand. Instead of being “just” a selfie pole, it switches into a reinforced tripod-style setup with extra stability, so you can shoot group shots or full-body frames without holding your phone.
It also comes with a rechargeable LED fill light and a detachable Bluetooth remote. In practice, that means you can adjust lighting and trigger the camera from a distance, which is handy when you’re trying to get the angle right (or when you’re not the only person in the shot).
It’s not the sort of gear you’d pick if you need heavy-duty pro-level stability on every surface, but for everyday travel, hiking days, casual content, and family photos, it looks like a practical all-in-one.
Key points
The main idea is simple: more support than a basic selfie stick, plus controllable lighting.
You get a telescopic pole up to 125cm, then you can use the tripod structure either as a tabletop tripod or extended to sit flatter on the ground. Add the 180° adjustment and 360° rotation, and it’s designed to help you find a decent angle for scenery shots, selfies, or group photos.
The detachable remote is meant to pair over Bluetooth with a compatible iOS/Android phone. Once paired, you can switch your phone camera on and take photos remotely, which should reduce shake when you’re composing the scene.
What stands out in use
The fill light is the bit that can genuinely change your results, especially indoors or in mixed light. This model offers three colour modes—warm light, natural light and white light—and three brightness levels, so you can nudge the lighting rather than relying on whatever the room or outdoor shade is doing.
There’s also a practical portability angle. When folded, the stick is listed as 8.5 inches (21.5 cm) and about 190 grams, so it’s the kind of size you can tuck into a backpack without it feeling like dead weight.
A quick example: if you’re taking a group photo at a campsite or on a day out, you can extend the tripod on flatter ground, set the angle for everyone, switch to natural light (or warm/white depending on conditions), then use the remote so you’re not rushing back and forth.
One limitation to keep in mind: while it’s “usable in wet environments” thanks to the stainless steel pole being wear- and corrosion-resistant, that doesn’t automatically mean it’s ideal for submersion or storms—so it’s still worth being sensible with exposure.

Who it’s for (and who should skip it)
It suits you if you want a compact “do more” setup: selfie stick convenience, tripod steadiness, and lighting control in one item. It’s also a decent match if you’re shooting a lot of self-timed content—remote-triggered photos can be a straightforward way to cut down shake.
Worth considering if you regularly do outdoor activities like hiking, camping or cycling, where a lighter kit and quick packing matter. The corrosion-resistant pole also fits the “on-the-go” mindset.
It’s not the best choice if your priority is maximum maximum stability on rough or uneven ground, or if you already own a dedicated stand and want something purely simple. Also, if your phone case makes it wider than the holder limits (7.4cm to 10cm), you may need to think about fit before buying.
Compatibility and requirements
The phone holder is described as compatible with mobile phones between 7.4cm and 10cm in width. That covers many common models, and the listing specifically mentions iPhone and popular Samsung and Huawei lines.
For the remote, it’s described as compatible with iOS/Android and uses Bluetooth pairing. The process is described as long-pressing the remote for a few seconds, then pairing successfully so the mobile camera can be triggered remotely.
Final verdict
If you want an easy-to-carry selfie stick that can switch into a more stable tripod setup—and you also want the option to add fill light rather than relying purely on ambient brightness—this POWOMAO model makes a lot of practical sense.
It might not be the right pick if you need a rock-solid rig for demanding conditions, or if you’re picky about phone fit with cases. In most everyday use cases, though, the combination of adjustable height, rotation, a detachable Bluetooth remote, and dimmable three-mode fill lights is where it earns its place.
