Depending on whether you use an Android or iOS device you have to press a button and the stick when triggering addresses the correct function on the phone. I've never had problems there. In a review here it is indeed that the device would then cease its function - the problem lies with me not replicate, there always everything worked perfectly, no matter how often I press which button.
If you want take pictures must make videos you previously on the phone to change the mode, which can not stick. You then press the shutter button one has immediately the photo.
Because the rod up to almost three feet extendible is possible to do so with the smartphone very great photos or videos. Either you hold the stick in the air in order to get an unusual perspective, or if you want to make Selfies you just Selfies offer something more than the typical self-made arm's length-Selfies one knows so. At the right angle you can see not even the bar.
A nice gimmick is the tripod socket on the bottom of the device. I have the bar once assembled for a video review on a spherical head and then fully ausgefaren while the tripod at maximum height was. The low weight without overturning it was possible the Apperatur so far as to tend that I had a beautiful view from above on the board and had such a great additional perspective.
I once created a video where I show all "live" in action. So one can, I think quite well even make an impression.
However, I had not originally incorporated into the video before the photos. You can see that the photos also: D
