Looking Good in the Vertical Position!

I might be able to give a five, but I haven't actually used it yet! However, it looks great out of the box. One thing I really like it that it will allow me to use my iPhone 14plus in the vertical position...WITH the Otterbox case! I tried to include a short video with the pieces but it wasn't allowed. I have included the phone in the vertical position. One thing that isn't great is that in the vertical position, the weight of the phone makes it swivel a bit if touched. It might not work, then as a selfie stick in that position. I'll try to post another review as I see if it works. (Or add to this review if BB allows that.)

I use it for my stream and it works great! There is only 2 things for you to be careful, first is it looks that is going to break easy, take care of it! and last if you don't tolerate weird smells, I don't think you are going to like it.

Love this phone stand, only complaint is the initial off gassing from the rubber material, other than it’s easy to use and great quality.

The light is super bright and had 3 different modes. The tripod is great. The phone base is great for shooting TikTok and YouTube videos. Recommend for any beginners and if you need a small light

This is wonderful to by for vlogging. We just purchased it to take group pictures since we have so many guests visiting our house often. Its been great. One thing though is that the legs can be a bit shaky sometimes, one should watch out for that.

Handle Legs With Care

Tripod and light work but legs are quite flimsy. Put it to the height you want but twist and handle the legs carefully. I use it regularly but I try to leave this one at a set height so I’m not constantly messing with the legs.

Decent. The body is great quality. It extends out more than what I have pictured. The only thing the top for light is a little flimsy. Overall great price for what I need.

The light works well so far and it is a bonus that it comes with a remote. Two of the main reasons why I gave this item 3 stars is one the legs are very hard to retract. Second the part that holds my cell phone snapped and broke out of nowhere.

Great potential if it wasn’t broken

I wanted to love it and I’m sure I would have if it wasn’t damaged before I could even use it. When I tried to set it up, I noticed that one of the legs does not open up all the way or lock in place. The safety lock on that leg is missing so I can only use it as a desk stand. I decided not to return it because I can still use it and I didn’t want to be bothered with the hassle of returning it. I’ll just purchase another one but for now it still works, very bright and it gets the job done, just disappointed it came broke.

For it's size it gives off a decent amount of light. I don't use a phone for it bit it does help when recording videos with my camera.
In the picture i turned off my lights in my dining room and kitchen.

The leg pin fell out and now one side can't be adjusted to full height. I had to put a wire in to keep it from collapsing. We hadn't even used it that often and for only 3 shoots. The other working push pins stick and won't let you adjust the height. the light kept falling off and we tightened it very snug. The light is great if its 18 inches from you, mediocre any other distance. Its definitely didn't meet my vlogging lighting needs. I would just invest in something bigger and a better quality brand in the ring market
