Holy cow! I am extremely impressed with this tripod-- we got it for our honeymoon, because we wanted to be able to have photos of the both of us and not selfies.
The tripod itself is great. This pack includes a mount (very important to use with your cell phone) as well as a Bluetooth remote to take the photos without the hassle of the timer function.
The most impressive part of this tripod is the bendy, magnetic legs. It allowed us to mount the tripod on almost every surface- uneven terrain, wrapped around a pole, and (what I was most wowed by--) hanging *upside down* on a thin metal wire using only the magnets in the feet. We figured the tripod wouldn't hold, but it did! Plus, it is small enough to carry in a purse with ease, unlike my other tripods.
My mount was a little wobbly when I attached it to the tripod, so since I only ever intend to use it with a phone, I superglued it down. That solves that issue.
The Bluetooth remote worked well at first and was a huge lifesaver. My main complaint is that it stopped working after a few days of light usage (turned off in between uses). Then it started working again, but very sporadically. Then it stopped again. Finally we ended up just giving in and using the timer function, which still worked but was more of a hassle.
If you are looking for a convenient tripod for your phone or even small digital camera, I CANNOT recommend this enough. We will likely be purchasing these for gifts for friends and family, we were that impressed!!

It’s ok.
I bought this because of the magnetized tripod, this works great so far. The other things in the package are ok at best. The phone holder doesn’t look very sturdy. The remote for the camera you can tell will not repel any type of moisture, so I’m going to put it in a ziploc bag. The selfie stick is pretty much useless as it has a headphone jack plug which I don’t think any phones use that anymore. If you are getting this for the tripod, then you will be happy. If you need everything included to last you, in my opinion I don’t think it will last.

I only bought this for the GorillaPod itself..
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2020
The GorillaPod is great! It's sturdy, and the magnetic feet are really nice. I'm glad I purchased it. It's VERY small, but that's what I bought it for, to use for macro photography. The clip doesn't really hold my phone, it's too big, and sometimes pops out by itself. The remote control I'll just keep for a backup in case mine breaks. So while both the tripod mount and the remote control are cheap, they're still functional. All I cared about was the GorillaPod, and I got exactly what I wanted, nice and solid. Everything else is just extra. If you look at the photos I uploaded, you'll get a better idea of the size of everything.

I got this in order to make good videos of my dog training sessions. It does hold the HTC m8 One very easily even with a case on it. It's got about a 3-inch grip for the with since the phone has to lay sideways. The receiver is slow to take a picture but once it actually does connect and sync with the phone it's not too bad. There is a small delay but its nothing super noticeable unless you're trying to go for high action shots. Otherwise the stand is great and works fantastic on any type of metal I have found in my house. It can get a little top heavy with cell phones so placing at some places is a little harder to do like if you were trying to have it hangs sideways on a wall. However it does a very good job and it is made very well. It does have a lock on it so you can lock it in place as well as unlock. Each segment of the leg moves so it's very easy to wrap around a corner or something that is a little tighter. All in all I absolutely love this little tripod and I will be using it for years to come.
