At £15.99 this is by no means the cheapest selfie stick I have tried but it is cleverly designed, reasonably well made, nicely presented, and with some unusual features.
In the attractive branded product box is the Selfie Stick, Bluetooth remote control, charging cable, GoPro camera adapter and a small but easy to read user guide. Construction is good but lightweight with the handle and grip made from ABS plastic and the extension rod from what seems to be very thin stainless steel. The Bluetooth control button unit slots into the handle and can easily be removed for separate use and to replace the pre-installed CR1632 battery. The phone clamp folds flush to the body of the unit but take care when doing so as it is vulnerable when left unfolded. Two grips fold up on the clamp to hold the phone and allow the clamp to be opened to grip the phone which then rotates fully up and down and in rotation. Build quality seems fine with nothing looking likely to break, fail or fall off if handled properly.
The main selling point of this selfie stick is perhaps the built-in selfie light positioned on the end of the handle and control by a single button on the side. The single button allows you to scroll through the three light modes - warm, daylight and cool white - and vary the brightness level. The light is not particularly bright but may make the difference at night or when the image is backlit.
Using the remote is a simple as you would expect. Set your phone to Pairing Mode, long-press the Selfie Stick button and search for Bluetooth device “ARTOFUL L03s” and pair to it. You can now use the button to remotely control take photos and videos. The button will automatically turn off after a few minutes without use. The stainless steel rod extends up to 72 cm for selfie use with the three legs folding out from the handle to form a base when used in Tripod Mode.
This is a good little device, similar to a vast number of others, but offering the option of the selfie light. If you need a lightweight selfie stick with a Bluetooth shutter release and fill-light then this is not a bad buy.
