Caveat: the processing and the clamping mechanism are really very good. In addition, the stand is really very compact and looks stylish. However, I have acquired these to take pictures via self-timer. Since, due to the terminal, the smart phone is not, however, vertically inzuspannen (see product images), this is always a little tilted forward, which makes photographing impossible on a horizontal plane. Now have the "Griptight Gorillapod" from JOBY in use. Although this is not as compact, but he's perfect just for the desired task.
