However, when I wanted to activate the remote control, it failed twice. On the one hand the remote control showed no activity (no lights of the "on" -Lämpchens -> Batteries empty?), On the other hand I had to realize on closer reading: "for IOS" etc. So for Apple products, which I think is a shame because it would Been great, the camera of my smartphone - not Apple - remotely.
IPod owners will have twice as much pleasure from this tripod with remote control.
For smartphone owners of other companies: As a mere stand that works great!
