The SelfieShow 71-inch tripod stretches from a 13-inch folded length to a full standing height, combining a phone tripod, selfie stick, and wireless remote in one unit. The phone clamp opens wide enough for a cased phone, and the remote triggers the shutter from up to 10m away, so a solo video call or a group photo does not require asking a bystander to frame it. It connects as a shutter key with the native camera app, avoiding the app-switching friction that comes with some phone remote accessories. The 1/4-inch camera thread also lets the same support handle a compact camera or a phone in a separate mount.
At moderate heights and indoors, the 8-section legs hold a phone steady for stills and video. Those sections fold down to a packable 13 inches, which is the main reason this works as a travel accessory. The tradeoff is that an 8-section leg set transmits more movement at the top than a three-section leg would, so the highest setting is best used with a steady surface or hand support. In calm indoor rooms, the phone remains steady for live streams and recordings, and the remote gives a separate trigger button without touching the phone.
The natural buyer is a traveler, family, or desk vlogger who wants one lightweight item for selfies, video calls, live streams, and group photos. For a family trip, the remote lets the whole group step into the frame without running back to a timer. The tradeoff is that at full height in wind, the frame can wobble, and clamp and remote durability can vary between units. This is not a substitute for a heavy video tripod in exposed outdoor shoots or for a rig carrying professional cameras. If the missing piece in your setup is close-up lighting, a dedicated LED panel is the better answer; this tripod solves framing and stability, not light output.
On value, the SelfieShow undercuts buying a tripod, selfie stick, and remote separately while keeping the folded footprint small enough for carry-on luggage. The all-in-one approach means one less item in a day bag, and the 71-inch reach lets you move from a low tabletop angle to an overhead selfie without changing gear. Build quality at this budget tier is good for light to moderate phone work, and the remote pairs without an app on both iOS and Android. That makes it an easy call for a phone-first shooter who wants one support for everyday photo and video capture.
๐ก Shorten the legs when shooting outdoors near the full 71-inch height for steadier phone framing.
Pros
- Build quality is good for a budget price, supporting light and moderate phone work without feeling fragile.
- Costs less than assembling a tripod, selfie stick, and remote as separate purchases, which makes the bundle a cost-effective route.
- Wireless remote triggers the shutter from up to 10m away, so group shots and solo video calls do not need a timer.
- Folded 13-inch length fits in carry-on luggage and a daypack, so it is easy to take along for travel.
- Handles selfies, video calls, live streams, and group photos with one phone setup and no separate gear to pack.
Cons
- Near maximum extension on exposed ground, the frame is less steady, which can soften phone shots.
- The phone grip and remote rely on small plastic parts, so a quick check before a long shoot is wise.
If your phone is the main camera, this tripod covers framing and remote-triggered shots in one compact package, making it a strong match for travel and desk use.
