Today we're looking at the collapsible 62" cell-phone tripod (purchased on Amazon for about $26). We used this tripod to capture our high point summit bids in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia and weren't disappointed.
I have to admit, my first impression was that this thing was heavier than I expected, but after hiking with it, I never noticed. It sets ups very easily and the bluetooth keyfob worked flawlessly on both Android and iPhone devices.
The top of the tripod has a standard 1/4"-20 male thread that will mount DSLRs or the included cell-phone holder. Before installing your phone, be sure to power on the keyfob and connect your phone over bluetooth.
Once you attach the cell-phone holder to the tripod, simply hold open the clamp (spring-loaded) and insert your cell-phone. Adjust the stand to the desired height and rotation, and fire away from up to 30ft with the keyfob.
