a selfie stick with some pretty cool
0:01
tricks up its sleeve let's check this
0:11
and the perfect selfie oh hey Dave
0:17
Taylor here and I'm looking at the Peng
0:18
XI selfie stick tripod that's this now
0:22
this is pretty fun because it's a selfie
0:24
stick although maybe slightly heavier
0:27
than other selfie sticks but that's
0:28
because it has all sorts of other tricks
0:31
so let's switch it to a tripod so first
0:34
thing I'm going to do is on the
0:35
adjustable head I'm gonna actually tilt
0:37
the camera back a little bit and then
0:39
I'm gonna pull the feet out yes it has
0:41
feet and even better it has a remote
0:44
control that's detachable so let me just
0:47
adjust this to get me in the picture and
0:50
let's see maybe one more click and now
0:56
with the handy remote control that is
0:59
rechargeable I'm gonna push the button
1:01
and got myself a selfie now turns out of
1:06
course there's so much more you can do
1:07
with this because it's a tripod it gives
1:09
you all of these features of a tripod
1:11
that's incredibly light it's really easy
1:14
to work with and not only that obviously
1:16
you can pop your phone out and not only
1:18
can you pop your phone out but you can
1:21
actually take the whole sort of phone
1:23
attachment off and then it becomes a
1:27
super lightweight tripod with a quarter
1:29
inch screw on the top which is a
1:33
standard tripod mount so you could use
1:34
this for other purposes too I wouldn't
1:37
be putting like a 25 pound professional
1:39
HD camera on there but for a DSLR or
1:43
your phone or some other device that you
1:46
want to have balance on there this is
1:48
great and like I said it's really light
1:51
it's very flexible you can adjust the
1:53
tripod at its maximum length let's see
1:56
how far that is so that's a lot of
2:00
length as you can see we got a lot going
2:02
on here and if I stand it up it's there
2:06
so turns out it's 51 inches when fully
2:08
extended and let me talk just a little
2:12
so the remote is a wireless Bluetooth
2:15
remote which takes a little bit of
2:18
figuring out how to pair it because I
2:20
did not have any instructions but turns
2:23
turn the device on turn your phone on
2:25
have your phone look for Bluetooth and
2:27
it will see this and you were ready to
2:29
rock and roll it has plus and minus and
2:32
an action button so at least on the
2:34
iPhone it basically just gives you take
2:37
a picture on Android apparently it gives
2:39
you zoom features so that's pretty nice
2:42
too but really pretty straightforward
2:44
there's a lot I like about it and the
2:47
remote weighs almost nothing and as I
2:49
said there is a part on the bottom that
2:52
you can put it in and now it's actually
2:54
in its little holder and if you don't
2:57
want the buttons exposed you can do
2:58
exactly the same thing facing the other
3:01
way and now it's a little bit more
3:03
discreet but more importantly the
3:04
buttons aren't going to be pushed
3:05
accidentally in total it's 11 ounces or
3:09
312 grams it really weighs almost
3:12
nothing this is super light and it comes
3:15
with a carrying case which will make you
3:17
look like you're on your way to the you
3:19
know local pool hall but that's cool and
3:22
let's see the clamps are nice it's not
3:25
screw tight they are actually a little
3:26
quick flip which I think are better
3:29
because it's a little more reliable and
3:30
it even comes with a micro USB wire so
3:34
you can charge the remote though I have
3:36
a feeling you don't really have to do
3:37
that very often because there's really
3:39
not a lot of power that it's using so
3:42
that's everything I can tell you about
3:44
the Peng XI selfie stick tripod I like
3:47
it it's really fun I'm not much of a
3:50
selfie person you could draw your own
3:52
conclusions about that but if I was this
3:55
would definitely be going in my bag but
3:57
even without that it's a really nice
4:00
flexible tripod and all too many tripods
4:03
out there designed for smartphones and
4:05
stuff tend to be so tiny that they're
4:07
really not very useful so I really like
4:09
that this is small and highly portable
4:11
and extremely light and yet I can
4:14
actually stand it up on the ground and
4:16
use it as part of a camera set up with a
4:19
smartphone so very nice only thing let's
4:22
talk about is the price and you'll be
4:24
we get there let me ask if you can click
4:26
on that subscribe button boom
4:29
thank you now the pang Chi selfie stick
4:33
tripod $24.99 at amazon.com this is Dave

4:39
