BlitzWolf® BW-BS10 All In One Portable Selfie Stick with Retractable Tripod, Hidden Phone Clamp, Up to 720mm Length, Removable Remote Control

I purchased the BW-BS10 Pro in July 2022 intending to use it with my iPhone 12 Pro Max. It paired with, but never controlled the camera of my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I did see other online reviews attesting to this problem with iPhones (at the time of purchase); and even a review stating that the BW-BS10 remote controller works with the iPhone, but you lose the zoom and camera rear/front lens options. I ignored the reviews and purchased anyway thinking this might be some glitch or software update problem. I currently have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and unfortunately, it won't even pair with the phone. I sent an email to the company point of contact on the instruction book (peter@lotusnl.com) addressing the problem on July 25, 2022, but I did not receive a reply. The tripod is GREAT. It's sturdy and compact. Aesthetically pleasing and it (the tripod) works as advertised. The tripod is the reason I have given two stars rather than one.

I adore great design and this selfie stick ticks every box on being compact, usable, brilliantly clever in the way it hides such a long and clever gadget in such a small tube.

I collected it from the post office earlier today and genuinely believed the wrong item had been sent. Yes, it really is small, but once extended via its brilliant mechanism, it does not disappoint in any way.

Negatives, just the one....

it’s not documented how to power off the remote nor when I’ll know it’s fully charged.

A quick tweak of the paperwork giving guidance on this aspect would’ve resulted in a 100% positive.

I’ll probably work that bit out, but this is such a brilliant design, I feel bad about dissing it!
