Victiv P18-86 Phone Tripod, 86-Inch with Flexible Gooseneck & Remote

The flexible gooseneck lets you adjust your phone’s position for a more suitable shooting angle, while the Victiv P18-86 extends up to 86 inches for elevated framing.

Use it as a phone tripod or selfie stick for selfies, group photos, video recording, vlogging, and video calls. Its 21-inch folded size and included carry bag make it practical to bring along for travel.

A phone remote, swiveling phone clip, and cold-shoe port add useful options for recording hands-free or setting up a light or microphone.

At a glance

The P18-86 combines an aluminum tripod with a 13.78-inch flexible gooseneck. Its adjustable height ranges from 21 to 86 inches, so you can frame a close-up, record while standing, or position the phone for a group shot. The phone clip swivels 360 degrees to support portrait and landscape orientation, giving you a straightforward way to change framing between social video and wider scenes.

The included remote operates a compatible iPhone or Android phone from up to 33 feet away. That’s useful when you need to start a recording or take a photo without standing beside the tripod. For a recording setup with added accessories, the phone holder has a cold-shoe port for a light or microphone.

How it fits

The adjustable holder accepts smartphones from 2.2 to 3.6 inches wide and is listed as compatible with iPhone and Android phones. A standard 1/4-inch screw also allows use with equipment such as a DSLR camera, compact camcorder, or webcam. Check that your device fits the holder or uses the screw connection before setting up your shot.

The two-in-one design suits people who want a stand for fixed recording as well as a selfie-stick format for handheld framing. For example, set it up for a hands-free video call, then use the extended height for a group photo while traveling. When the shoot is done, fold it to 21 inches and pack it in the included carry bag.

Practical tips

Position the phone in portrait or landscape before recording, then bend the gooseneck to fine-tune the angle. For a video that needs added lighting or clearer audio, use the cold-shoe port to attach compatible accessories. The remote’s reach of up to 33 feet gives you room to step into the frame or operate the phone from a short distance.

Customer feedback often highlights easy setup and the stand’s usefulness for video creation. Opinions on sturdiness and durability are mixed: some users find it sturdy and flexible, while others report tipping, difficulty positioning the phone, or parts breaking. This feedback is worth bearing in mind when choosing a tall, adjustable stand, especially if you plan to use it at its greatest height.

Should you buy it?

The Victiv P18-86 brings together an 86-inch maximum height, flexible angle adjustment, a remote, and a phone holder with a cold-shoe port. That combination is suited to hands-free phone recording, video calls, selfies, and travel content, with an option to mount other equipment that uses a 1/4-inch screw. Choose it for a portable setup that can shift between tripod and selfie-stick use and offers room to adjust your phone’s framing.
