selfie tripod
I tested this with my iPhone 7 running iOS 14.4 while in an OtterBox case. It was able to hold the weight of the phone. It held the phone tightly and in the position I required. It was easy to place the camera onto the tripod. The Bluetooth remote control paired easily and worked without…
