There are quite a few tripods with detachable selfie sticks available out there, but this one from APEXEL is rather different. This tripod features a design more commonly used with lighting stands, having a broad wide base with a low center of gravity for enhanced stability together with a longer than normal detachable selfie stick giving a full 70" reach.
My kit arrived without a branded product box with all the kit items packaged inside the carry bag. The kit consists of the tripod base, a 2-3.5" fitting phone mount, a GoPro style mount, a Bluetooth remote control shutter release, a soft carry bag with strap, and a user guide. Build quality all seems fine to me with nothing looking likely to fail or fall off anytime soon. The tripod is not too heavy to carry around in the field but is strong enough for use with cameras up to DSLR in size and is well suited for use with both cameras and smartphones.
The selfie stick shaft when in tripod mode is held in place by a single rotating knob below which is the locking nut for the tripod legs. Release the knob to remove the selfie stick, which can be done quickly and easily. The selfie stick has four extending sections with quick-release catches for each. On the end of the selfie stick is a tripod style camera head which rotates 360° and can be locked in place vertically or horizontally or anywhere in between. The head features a quick-release plate with a standard ¼" screw fitting.
The kit is easy enough to use and is obvious and intuitive how to do so. As a tripod, it is stable and steady with all the basic camera movements catered for on the adjustable head with the camera or phone released from the head with just a turn of the thumb on the release handle. The head has a ¼" screw fitting which should fit any standard camera as well as the included Gopro and smartphone mounts.
Turn the knob to release the selfie stick shaft and you have a 4-section selfie stick with all the advantages of the camera mount available. In use, the stick is not too heavy and is nicely balanced for normal operation with just one additional section extended.
If you need a lightweight and easy to use combined selfie stick and tripod with a fully adjustable head, then for the price of less than $30, this would be a pretty decent buy.
