Octopus Tripod with Bluetooth Remote Shutter

It is very sturdy. The remote control worlds. It takes amazing photos and the size is perfect. It's worth the money. It functions perfectly.

I absolutely love this tripod. The remote is awesome and paired easily to my iPhone so I can use it with or without the tripod itself. The tripod wraps easily around anything to accommodate your needs.

This is a good and inexpensive phone tripod. I have an android phone. It seems to work with both Androids and IPhones. I have not used it yet, but just tested it. It works with my Android phone. I had a bit of trouble getting the remote to work. I had to download a link to make it work. My husband had a more difficult time getting the remote to work with his Android. We have limited space in our apartment to put the tripod, but it does seem to hold pretty well if you really tighten the 3 movable legs around the area you place it on. It seems very pliable and strong enough for the phone. I've seen this tripod in stores for more than twice what this one cost. The only negative thing is that they do not give enough information on how to set it up and use it and they really should. There are 2 pieces that I have no idea how to use or exactly what they are for. I also don't know how to bend the top part of the tripod to put the phone in a lower position other than by bending one of the movable legs far forward. However, for the price this is an excellent phone tripod. I recommend it.

I like the look and weight of the tripod and you can't ignore the versatility; I like that I can wrap it on or around many different objects in order to keep the phone stationary in different environments. The tripod also allows for great forward and side to side motion which is helpful when filming in awkward situations or when you just need a slight tweak for that perfect camera positioning. The camera itself is easy to move when a shot requires a bend to the right and left or a rotation up or down. I have already utilized the tripod via my cell phone and also with my digital camera. The tripod was especially handy for live filming on facebook as it sat on top of a large shoe box on my desk. I was able to perfectly position the camera for the facebook live and I didn't have to worry about the phone falling over while filming. No more propping up items in front of or behind my phone to avoid a slip or fall. I am very pleased with this purchase and so far, I am satisfied with the quality. It's also an added bonus to find a tripod in red and black as most of my devices are red. The only "con" I have is with the Bluetooth Remote Shutter. I am disappointed that the remote shutter isn't working with my ZTE 958 phone. After several failed attempts to use the shutter through my cell phone's default settings, I did install the 360 Lite app made for this remote but the shutter only worked for still pictures; it was completely useless for video. The remote shutter also enlarged (zoomed) the frame of both picture shots and video footage when it should have just taken a picture or enabled the video for recording. It's possible the remote shutter just isn't compatible with my phone, but it was odd that even after installing the 360 Lite app, depressing the button to take a picture didn't always "take" a picture; again, it would activate the zoom feature on my phone which isn't what the remote shutter is made to do. The remote shutter is supposed to snap pictures and activate/deactivate the recording feature on your device. Sadly, it's not working for me at this time.

The Linkcool Octopus Tripod is an excellent value for the price! It’s sturdy and well-built, with flexible legs that are easy to adjust into multiple positions, making it versatile for various shooting angles and surfaces. Setting it up is simple and hassle-free, even for a beginner. One of my favorite features is the included remote—it’s incredibly convenient and works seamlessly with both my phone and camera. Whether I’m capturing a group photo or recording solo content, the remote adds a level of ease that’s hard to beat. Overall, this tripod is a great choice for anyone looking for an affordable, reliable, and highly adjustable tripod. Highly recommended!

My package was open when delivered and all I received was the tripod and the remote control. The 2 parts that serve as the phone holder mount are missing. I was so upset because I was looking forward to using my new tripod.

Out of the box, this is perfect for my needs, which is to hold my iPhone 13 Pro Max as an alternate videoconferencing device in my WFH setup. The fact that the tripod comes with multiple adapters and accessories is a fantastic bonus. The height is perfect, and the tripod and accessories are flexible enough that I will use it in many other scenarios. I probably won't ever use the included Bluetooth Camera Remote, since I have my Apple Watch for that, but it's a nice inclusion and icing on the cake. I bought the red & black model because it was $1 less and I had an unusual impulse to save $1. Red plastics can be a bit hit and miss, and often don't match the product photo. I didn't have to worry. This red is a pure red (no pink, no washout, no overkill) that simply looks good. Very satisfied with this purchase.

I really liked the fact that its flexible. Easy to use and I can also use it for my GoPro as well It came with a remote for taking the perfect photos . It has a great grip . Also it was easy to fit in my bag when not in use. I didn’t have to worry about falling over it’s was sturdy.
