Out of all the selfie sticks that I have ordered, this one is my favorite. Why, because it's not too simple, nor is it complicated to use. I was like the fact that the snap button easily paired via bluetooth with my iPhone. It's even cooler that you can detach the snap button and has a cord and I can see it's use for that. What's even cooler is if you hold down the button, the attached iPhone starts to record video. When you let go of the button, the video stops. Basically, the button allows you to capture pictures easily and start recording easily. The tripod function is not something that I use, but works with no issues and can be practical in that it can be used in settings to get a quick steady picture on the go.The phone actually holds well using the magnetic portion and what's even cooler is that you can unfold the arms from the head and it can hold the phone directly if you do not trust the magnet portion holding the phone. I just came back from a work trip from Japan and this would have been a great device to use for the vacation. Regardless, I recommend this device for the quality, use, and price point!
