Excellent, except for the hook to hold the cell phone vertically, which is only for changing position without being able to fix it in place.

A very solid, carefully crafted set. The remote shutter button works with Samsung A5x series without the need to install additional software. A certain phone holder (a slightly asymmetrical "installation" is necessary, as the holder's jaws tend to grab the keys on the side of the phone case. The tripod on a flat, level surface is very stable when the telescope is not extended, and sufficiently stable when the tripod is extended. Cold feet can be very useful when using additional lighting or other accessories. The phone holder has two 1/4" screw slots on two perpendicular surfaces, which further enhances the ability to adjust the setup configuration to meet specific needs at any given time. The quality of workmanship, thoughtful design, functionality, and reasonable price certainly deserve high praise. The seller also performed his role well. I recommend it!

At the maximum length, I wouldn't load 1.5 kg onto it in the fully extended mode of a selfie stick, but in a vertical position, I think it can handle it without any problems.
