Selfie Stick with Fill Light and Bluetooth Remote

The clamp is a universal phone mount with a rotating head, so it fits most standard phones. A slim case is no problem. A thick rugged case may need the jaws opened wide, so check that the case sits flat between them before you commit.

For a face in a dim room, yes. It has six brightness levels and three color temperatures, so you can keep it soft and warm for an evening stream or bright and cool for a daytime call. It is a fill light, so it lifts your face rather than lighting a whole room.

The remote is Bluetooth and controls the shutter or recording from arm's length. Range drops in crowded places full of wireless signals, so keep a clear line between the remote and the phone.

The body is matte plastic and the pole is aluminum alloy, which keeps it light in a bag. Treat it like any carry gear: avoid hard drops onto concrete and keep grit out of the clamp so the joints move smoothly.

The fold-out base stands well on a flat table, shelf, or step. On an uneven surface, find a flatter spot or angle the phone to compensate.

A compact stick with a built-in light, a remote, and a tripod base costs far less than a ring light and full tripod kit, and it packs into a bag. You get three tools in one piece instead of three separate purchases.
