I picked up this tripod in the summer to make content creation a breeze for social media. It's super convenient to use - the tripod folds up quickly, takes up minimal space, and even fits in my regular handbag. Setting it up is a breeze, but you do need to do it carefully, as the hinge looks a bit delicate. When I fully extend it, sometimes the legs seem a bit uneven, but if you adjust them just right, it's rock-solid.

The built-in light is a major plus - I often shoot in the evening, and without it, my videos looked dull. You can adjust the brightness and tone to your liking, from cool to warm. However, there's a catch: the battery life is pretty short, lasting around 40 minutes at max brightness. That's not the end of the world, but I'd have liked it to last a bit longer. It charges via a standard USB cable, which comes with the package, but it's a bit too short, so I swapped it out for my own.

The Bluetooth remote works flawlessly - my Samsung phone connects instantly, and the signal doesn't drop. From about 8-10 meters away, everything works smoothly. I do wish the remote's button was a bit softer to press, though - sometimes I'm not sure if I've pressed it or not, so I have to check the screen.

The phone holder is adjustable, so it works for both vertical and horizontal shots. The only thing is that if your phone is heavy or has a case, the holder might tilt a bit, so you need to adjust it. One thing to keep in mind is that if you're shooting outdoors, especially in windy conditions, the tripod's stability isn't as great. It's still okay on asphalt, but on grass or tiles, it can wobble.
