Tired of asking strangers to take your photo? This 75 cm Bluetooth selfie stick turns into a tripod and has a remote that pops off.
I bought this selfie stick for the built-in tripod. It’s 75 centimeters long, has a shutter and self-timer, and comes in a little travel bag. It also has a GoPro-style mount, a spring-loaded phone mount, a tiny selfie mirror, and a Bluetooth remote you can remove. Here’s what I liked and what I’d change. The button goes to a current Bluetooth selfie stick tripod on Amazon.
- Built-in tripod for group photos and time lapses
- Removable remote for shooting from a distance
- Pairs without a code
- Volume buttons worked on iOS
- GoPro-style mount for an action camera
- Selfie mirror lets you use the better rear camera
- The mirror is very small
- Small parts; angle screw could tighten more
- Remote sits mid-handle, not under your thumb
- Cheaply made travel bag

What’s in the bag
It comes in its own little nylon travel bag with a cinch strap, kind of cheaply made. Inside is a micro USB cable for the onboard battery and the selfie stick itself, which feels nice. The way it butterflies out into a tripod is amazing.
Mounts and the selfie mirror
Up top is a standard GoPro-style three-prong mount. I’ve noticed there are two sizes, but this one looks standard, so I can use an action camera too. There’s also a spring-loaded phone mount that flips up, folds flush, centers the phone and adjusts to different sizes.
The little silver button on the back is a mirror. If you want the better rear camera facing you, look into it to see if you’re in the shot, kind of like a fisheye. It’s really low-tech, but it works.
The removable remote
Down the handle are plus, minus and shutter buttons. The remote pops out (it feels held by a magnet), with the battery and micro USB port inside. Set your phone in front of a group, walk back, and take the photo.
To pair it, hold the shutter button a few seconds to power it on, then find it in your phone’s Bluetooth settings. No code. On iOS the plus and minus buttons controlled the volume, and the shutter started and stopped video.
The tripod
There’s a rubber cap on the bottom and rubber feet on the three tripod legs. How many times have you been hiking or out with family and had no one to take the photo? Set it down and take photos, video or time lapses. It extends like a big car antenna, nothing high-tech.
What I’d change
The mirror works but I wish it were bigger. The angle screw tightens fine, but all the pieces are small. And the remote is in the middle of the handle, down by my palm, so I can’t hit the shutter with my thumb at will. A slightly longer handle would fix that. Still, I’m pretty impressed and think it’s really useful on vacation.
