For the price, I think this is one of the best phone tripods you can get. It is ideal for holding a phone in a horizontal (landscape) position. The legs have a slip-resistant foam covering and slip-resistant rubber pads on the feet. The legs are flexible so you can wrap them around tree branches, railings, etc. to get that perfect shot. You can also use the tripod as a handle for hand-held video recording.I noticed that some reviewers said they had problems with the mount not tightening up enough to prevent wobble. If you remove the mounting pad, the thumbscrew is accessible from the bottom (see photo). The depth of the threaded insert is 6.5mm and the length of the threaded screw is 4mm. Therefore, tightening it for a snug fit should not be a problem. They have corrected the fitment issue with the update.The Bluetooth wireless remote is really handy. You can frame your shot and then use the remote to take a picture or start a video recording without even needing to touch the phone. I used it with an iPhone 6s+ and it worked great. I think you're definitely getting your monies worth with this tripod at the current $16.99 price. I've seen just the remote listed for 1/2 of that cost.

 UPDATE: The company was very helpful in addressing the issue I was having with tripod phone holder not tightening completely, I really appreciated that. I did also buy a second one and had no problems with it at all, screwed on tightly and securely. Looks like the first one I bought just had a manufacturing defect. Because of this, I will be changing my review from 4 stars to 5 stars I am very excited about this product, hands free video and photo. The remote pairs easily and works perfectly. I see that some of them come with cases but mine did not. I did read under contents that one is not listed. I guess I missed out on the select few that came with one. No big deal.The one thing that prevented me from going to 5 stars is that the phone adapter when installed vertically does not tighten all the way. There is still some play and feels loose. It just keeps spinning and never actually tightening. I tried turning the ring that is under the plastic piece that turns the screw and it is as tight as it can get but still moves around. When the stand is left alone there will be no issue but I was hoping I would be able to walk around with it as well and shoot video. That way, I would be able to use it to stabilize the recording. That is my only gripe with the tripod, if any one knows any fixes or if the tripod does tighten all the way. Let me Know
