ATUMTEK Selfie Stick - Review 2023

Review

Are you done with cheap convertible selfie sticks? Is carrying bulky tripod accessories taking the worse out of you? Then you need to check out the ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod.

Get the most out of your 2-in-1 Bluetooth selfie stick, with the just-right length between 7.7 inches and 31.3 inches. And the remote has connectivity up to 30 feet too.

You can rely on ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod’s well-built anodic-coated telescopic arm. You can tick off corrosion on your list of worries.

This Bluetooth selfie stick also allows you to film from unique angles with 270-degree phone mount rotations. Even made better with its sliding mechanism when in landscape mode!

Notice the added sturdiness from the aluminum hinges under the tripod legs. It’s a simple yet effective modification that ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod made. Although, it doesn’t have the supreme quality that more expensive selfie stick tripods like Fugetek 51” Selfie Stick have.

ATUMTEK Selfie Stick’s wireless remote operates with a rechargeable 5V lithium battery. It can cover your pictorial and filming demands, capturing up to 15,000 snaps when charged fully. You can be at peace that your ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod won’t leave you in the middle of the action!

Removing the wireless clicker from its slot can be challenging. There’s no lid holder to help you pick the wireless remote.

Keep in mind that its tripod legs are still of plastic material. Its thin plastic tripod legs are still prone to breakage. But the aluminum hinges added support.

Take a look around for other selfie stick tripods within the same price range for more options. You might want to see the Mpow Selfie Stick first. It’s a 3-in-1 Bluetooth selfie stick tripod with a twist. It’s got a built-in rechargeable fill light.!

Comfort

ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod falls in the lightweight category at only 6 ounces. It’s one of the stereotypical gloss-finished 2-in-1 Bluetooth selfie sticks that you’ll see on products under $15 like Erligpowht Selfie Stick Tripod and Yoozon Selfie Stick Tripod.

ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod is easy to carry anywhere. Slip it in your pocket or hold it. Be cautious if hand-carry is your bet since this Bluetooth selfie stick doesn’t have a wrist strap. Gloss-finish is notorious for slipping.

It’s a selfie stick tripod paired with a telescopic arm length that won’t bug the typical selfie lover in you. Not too short. Not too long. Just good enough at 31.3 inches. Meaning, ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod isn’t heavy like longer Bluetooth selfie sticks such as BMZX Bluetooth Long Selfie Stick, stretching as long as 118 inches at 20 ounces.

If you want a padded handle for a more solid and comfy grip, you need to bear in mind that Bluetooth selfie sticks with rubberized or foam-coated handles are usually bulky. You’ll see this downside on Fugetek 49” Selfie Stick and Quik Pod Sport Selfie Stick.

Considering ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod’s net weight, you’ll have no problem with its gloss-finish handle. Except if you have hyperhidrosis, where palms sweat heavily.

Portability

Almost as long as your palm at 7.7 inches, you can stock your ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod in your side compartment along with your other extras. Carry it in your pocket or inside your sling bag. It’s one of the most portable selfie stick tripods around, ranking along Yoozon Selfie Stick, Erligpowht Selfie Stick, and SUDO Selfie Stick.

But! Do not confuse ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod’s quality as the same. Those entry-level selfie stick tripods break easily. Not ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod’s solid aluminum frame.

It’s a no-brainer that when a selfie stick tripod is cheap and very compact, there’s nothing much to expect. Its quality and functions went out of the window for portability. ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod found the ideal spot in combining compactness and quality. Free yourself from carrying tripod add-ons, as you’ll notice in Mighty Selfie Stick.

It might not be with a premium build like Fugetek 51” Selfie Stick Tripod, where compactness was thrown in the bin to achieve its top-notch sturdiness. But that pitfall won’t matter if you’re an avid photography freak or just starting up your camerawork.

Ease of use

ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod’s spring-loaded phone mount isn’t too tight to be damaging (like in Mpow Selfie Stick). But it’s enough to keep your phone safe (as long as you remove your phone case). Using 270-degrees rotation and a horizontal sliding function, you can achieve any angle you wish to capture.

Take crisp footage and photos whether you use ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod as a monopod or a tripod!

You’ll find your wireless remote at the handle. You can insert it on the slot without breaking a sweat. But taking it out is another story. ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod’s wireless clicker doesn’t have any lid holder. You’ll need to dig in your nails to pick it out from the bottom. Although pairing it with your device is easy.

ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod is also for phones only. You can’t mount your GoPro or DSLR and other heavier and bigger devices. It doesn’t make sense since this Bluetooth selfie stick claims itself capable of holding up to 15 kilos of load. (If you know a phone that weighs that heavy, let us know!)

There are other Bluetooth selfie sticks out there offering GoPro and DSLR mounting. See Mpow Selfie Stick and Mighty Selfie Stick. If you want to save a bit, Yoozon Upgraded Selfie Stick is an inexpensive option. Although, its price is a little warning there already.

Changing into tripod mode is hassle-free. Pop the tripod legs from the bottom of the handle. After that, push the handle down to secure them. Otherwise, they won’t stay in position and will pop back up as a monopod.

ATUMTEK Selfie Stick is a convenient option for a 2-in-1 Bluetooth selfie stick. No need to buy extra tripod accessories. No tedious tripod setups.

Nothing but the capture button in your fingertips and an instant tripod.

Durability

ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod has extra protection on its telescopic arm from its anodic coating. It’s a distinct difference you’ll see on ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod that you won’t see on its cheap look-alikes, namely Yoozon Selfie Stick and Erligpowht Selfie Stick.

You can expect that ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod can go face to face with your needs, whether you’re a weekend warrior out for a hike or you’ll be joining the walkathon next month.

Using ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod with its legs mounted won’t let you down in rugged environments either.

While it’s not your best choice for extreme sports, this Bluetooth selfie stick has a solid build that can bear a maximum of 15 kilos (apparently). That’s a promise of sturdiness impossible to prove since ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod can only mount mobile devices.

Or try carrying your hiking stuff using ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod as a bamboo pole over your shoulder, with load hanging on both ends!

Kidding aside, ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod might not be as durable as DigiPower TP-QPXT Extreme Selfie Stick or Quik Pod Sport Selfie Stick (both salt-proof) for your daily running routine. But it’s a well-built Bluetooth selfie stick for your moderate-impact shenanigans and indoor demands.

Compatibility / Connectivity

Any mobile phone up to 3.42 inches wide, operating on iOS 7 and Android 5.0 and above, is compatible. Take note that since the phone mount’s cradle isn’t deep enough, you will need to remove your phone case.

You can match with your ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod via Bluetooth as long as you’re within its 33 feet radius. Pair your phone with “ATUMTEK” and start capturing pictures and videos.

If you’re still shilly-shallying whether your phone will connect or not, you can contact their customer service for confirmation. Or, see Anker Wired Selfie Stick. Compatibility won’t be a problem, and it’s also battery-free. If you’re a self-proclaimed eco-warrior, this one will speak to you.

To sum up, ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod is compatible with most iPhone and Android devices but not with GoPros, DSLRs, and anything wider than 3.42 inches.

Price/Quality Ratio

At $24.99, ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod is a little overpriced for additional features, anodic coating, and a bit of aluminum for an extra tripod hinge.

While Fugetek 51” Selfie Stick Tripod offers high-grade durability at only $22.99. Although, note that it’s missing portability at 19 inches when entirely collapsed, weighing 16.8 ounces.

On the other hand, Mpow Selfie Stick Tripod ticks the basics. Durable, compact, and it’s also lightweight. And the best part? At only 24.59 (a few dimes cheaper), your Bluetooth selfie stick also comes with a built-in fill light. So, even when you’re out during nighttime, you’ll still capture bright pictures and footage!

What’s the bottom line?

ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod is a quality 2-in-1 Bluetooth selfie stick. But it’s a little pricey for the basic features it offers.

ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod is one of the few 2-in-1s that hit the right spot between durability and compactness. 

It managed to squeeze in a high-quality build and its core functions without heavy materials on board. 

If you’re scouring the internet for the best selfie stick, ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod won’t be a bad pick. 

Use it for your upcoming holiday to document your trip. Take it on your stroll through the woods. And record that footage you need for your online projects. 

ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod is a reliable Bluetooth selfie stick ready to make picture-taking a piece of cake. Regardless if you’re indoors or out and about doing moderately-challenging outdoor activities. 

GoPro’s and DSLRs are not welcome. So, if you’re all about action, see gimbal-equipped Bluetooth selfie sticks. Check out Obudyard Selfie Stick and Zhiyun Smooth 4.
