Volsey VS1 Built-in Bluetooth Remote Shutter Selfie Stick for iPhone and Android Smartphones - Black

Bought this for my wife, since she was wanting a selfie-stick for some time but never seemed to see one that she really wanted to pay for. She likes this one, doesn't have anything negative to say about it, but she doesn't use it near as much as she thought she would. Before buying this, you might want to ask yourself again if you really, really want one...before you buy it and then it just sits in some cupboard/drawer at home all the time.

Okay, this is the second selfie stick I have bought in the past few months. So I am comparing this purchase with my first selfie stick along with those I have seen and inspected in stores. I bought this specific selfie stick because it was advertised as compact and light. I have been using it for more than a month now and have brought and used it during our family trips to Niagara falls, Montreal, and Las Vegas this summer. I must say that it held up well. First off, the compact design allowed me to put it in my jean back pocket comfortably while walking. I sat on it a few times by mistake because I forgot I had it back there. Fortunately, it held up pretty well with no visible crack or damage. The hinge where the handle/rod meets the clamp is well-designed with multiple stacking plastic plates which made for a sturdier and more durable hinge. The clamp itself held onto my big iPhone plus phone without any issue. It did not slip out as I thought it would. The rod itself did bend a bit when fully extended which I expected because of the weight of my iPhone plus but did not detract from its use. Although acceptable,the rubber grip could be better with possibly a better material for a better grip. The charging system was also good. I do believe it held up the charge for the whole day with normal use. I did not have to recharge it until I got home that night. Additionally, there was only one button and was easy to pair up bluetooth with my iPhone. Obviously, you would need to know how to pair up bluetooth on your own device. This one is definitely above average in both construction and design.All in all I am happy with this purchase and I would recommend it as a good buy.

First one received did not work the charging light never came on. I even tried leaving it not be charger to see if it was just the light, but it never charged. The seller sent me another and I used it once and it worked well. I didn't attempt using it again until a couple of weeks later as I was going to a wedding. I tried turning it on and nothing happened so I figured it was dead. I attempted to charge it and it the charge light did not come on. This was familiar as it's the same issue I had with the first one.Pros - sturdy and holds phone well. Bluetooth works well with iPhone 6. Folds up small for easy travel.Cons - seems to be some internal flaw that is causing the charging feature to malfunction.

Bought this as a gift for my mother-in-law... she likes to be able to take pictures when she goes on hikes and vacation, and gets annoyed when she wants to take a picture with someone but can't get the pretty background since arms are just not long enough. This helps a ton for getting great backgrounds for selfie and group pictures. Plus it fits in her small bag that she takes with her on walks and hikes.One major thing is that she has an iPhone 4, which has the older type of bluetooth, and a lot of selfie sticks are not compatible with that. THIS one is! Works perfect with her phone and her blue tooth! Her phone fits snug and she has told me she has had no problems with it so far.When she dog sits our dog now, I get very funny and cute selfie pictures of her and our dog... priceless.

The small metal pieces from the charging cord to the connection on the handle broke. I emailed the company about it and got no response. Luckily I had an old cell phone charging cord that just happened to fit it. However I would have preferred to have the original cord replaced since it broke in the first week that i had it.***6/23/15 Update: The company had an IT problem in which they had lost my email. However, once fixed, they did contact me about my broken power cord. They have refunded my money AND are sending me a replacement Selfie Stick with power cord. I have to say I am impressed and happy to see a company with integrity and cares about keeping their customers happy. I HIGHLY recommend this product as it does work fabulous with my iPhone 6 with Otter Box case.

It folds up small which is nice, but the bluetooth is kind of clunky trying to get it to turn on and it is not very well made. The phone will rock from side to side since the groove to stabilize the motion is not very tight. I find that we are not getting much use out of this and it is sometimes will not pair easily to the phone. I will probably be looking for a different selfie stick as this one did not live up to my wife's expectations and she finds it difficult to get it to work for her. We have resorted to using a voice operated trigger with a timer, which defeats the purpose of the integrated bluetooth.

Waited around a month for it, till they got it back in stock. I love the size and weight. It really is small yet extends a lot and the rod is made well with a groove so it doesn't slip and is sturdy. The holder is made of Silicone and holds the phone well without scratching it. I have the Galaxy S6 and fits well.It charged in 30 minutes as stated and it has a red light that goes on when you connect the cable to a charger. When it is done charging the light goes off. The button has a few functions. Press it to connect the Bluetoooth with our phone (mine connected in a second unlike some other things I have connected to my phone). I took a test picture and as soon as I pressed the button the phone took the picture. No waiting.The button turns on the stick and shuts it as well. You hold the button down for a few seconds when turning on and off. Taking the picture you just press it quickly and the picture is taken.A really neat tool to have and makes your camera in the phone so much more versatile allowing you to get shots you would not have been able to get without it.
