This is a very versatile selfie stick than can both be used as a short tabletop stand or with an adjustable selfie stick that extends a good distance up to 7 different levels. You can attach just about any type of smartphone or a regular camera. Although kind of heavy, I was able to attach my Canon DSLR camera to it, but I would probably mostly use that in the tabletop setting. In terms of selfies using your cellphone, whether iPhone or Android, it attaches securely, and you can tilt it to a variety of angles, so there is a lot of flexibility that enables you to capture images from a wide range of perspectives, and fit more people in since you have greater distance ability. You can also make the tabletop or floor stand taller and get shots from very high up by fully extending the stick. The whole wand compresses back down to be fairly small and light, so doesn't take up much space and easy to take with you on the go. There is additionally a remote control so you can take selfies reliably up to about 25 feet away, or maybe a little further. When you're at the furthest distance, obviously the stick doesn't reach that far, so you would be using the stable tabletop or floor stand configuration. Everything locks into place and doesn't move. Overall, very useful for remote selfies and general photography or filming at different angles and distances.
