UPDATED REVIEW:
Yesterday I emailed Amazon to swap out the original defective selfie stick with the bad remote for a replacement of the same model (which arrived today). And good news... the new remote easily connected to my iPhone 13 without issue. And since I requested the replacement from Amazon just yesterday, getting the new selfie stick delivered this morning was really fast turnaround, especially since I had not returned the defective item until this afternoon.
That said, the replacement remote works as it should (single click to take a photo in photo mode, or a single click to start/stop video in video mode).
Considering how inexpensive this was and how quickly it shipped, not to mention it works as advertised, I have changed my original 1-star review to 5-stars. Time will tell if this holds up well, but it seems like it will, plus it does everything I need for a price that's tough to beat.
PREVIOUS COMMENTS:
I just received this selfie stick with remote today and immediately tried to use it with my iPhone 13. The selfie stick seems to work as advertised, but the remote took multiple tries (10+) to pair with my phone and would only connect over Bluetooth by holding the phone within an inch or two of the remote.
I removed the case from the phone to see if that was causing some interference (doubtful, but worth a shot), but I got the same result. Whenever I moved the remote any further than an inch or two away from the phone, it would disconnect from Bluetooth, which defeats the whole purpose of the remote button being able to activate the camera shutter or video start/stop from a distance (duh).
On the plus side, it did come with an extra battery, so as a test I put the extra battery in to see if maybe the battery that came with the remote was low on power. Unfortunately I got the same result.
Now my only other option is to buy a brand new battery to check if both batteries that came with this item are bad, but I think I'll just return it to Amazon for an exchange since I may have just gotten a bad example.
Based on the number of positive reviews from others, I'm hoping that's the case. But no matter what, it has been a time-waster so far.

Some Good - Some NOT So Good
I've used it a few times.I noticed that the remote works pretty well with my iPhone and is well-secured from falling out by the need to extend the stick a bit to remove it- good idea.Unlike other selfies the telescoping extensions are HELD in a particular axis and can't be rotated with respect to the tripod base. This includes the tilting fixture which holds the phone/camera. (It doesn't ROTATE with respect to the tripod leg position.) And It also ONLY TILTS BACK about 30 degrees and then hits a stop.I didn't think that'd be a problem UNTIL I put the phone on, opened the tripod and tried to TILT BACK / UP (with tripod at my feet). Only tilts BACK a little? The only way to tilt back enough for this shot - is to reverse the phone position on the clamp and tilt it 'FORWARD'. BUT Then, the locations of the tripod legs are contrary to supporting the tilted load! I mean there is no tripod leg directly in BACK of the direction of tilting!I think they did this- limited tilting- to prevent the whole thing from falling over and ruining people's equipment- But ALL this could be fixed by allowing the clamp/holder to ROTATE.IF I would have just let go of the phone in this position the entire thing would have fallen backwards... SMASH!What I ended up doing was to put a wrist weight on one of the tripod legs to balance the backward instability... (see photos) BAD Design Feature though. This was with the tripod very LOW. If it were higher it would be an even worse situation and damage.Other features:The spring-loaded clamp holding the phone is OK... though a bit awkward to pull open. I'd design a little more of a handle to grab it maybe? IDK... just seemed awkward. Maybe screw a 3D-printed 'handle' to the 1/4 inch camera mount screw (if you're not using it)?The rotating of the clamp/holder to allow portrait or landscape is a good idea.So, I'm definitely going to keep using it- but carefully and not with anything heavier than my (cheap) iPhone SE !

Excellent consideration for entry level, smartphone, tripod photography.

The Yoozon tripod hits the sweet spot with a quality design for a steal of a price. With a perfect balance of durable hardened plastic and solid aluminium the tripod feels like it should cost twice its value. The functionality is superb with a swivel device clamp that can shoot landscape and portrait, 4 tier extension that will stay at any height you decide to adjust it to, BLUETOOTH remote that for me...worked at a distance much greater than advertised, remote also slides seamlessly into the handle at the perfect location to snap selfie stick type photos, handle fans out into the tripod base which provides better than average stability on a flat surface. One of my favorite parts of the entire thing is the design in which it tightens the device clamp into position, its is very solid and will not budge even with my Galaxy S8 in it's clamp. With cheaper ball head designs, I've over tightened and snapped the piece right off. I will be taking this to the Rockies in 3 weeks and based on my experience with it so far I am confident it will provide a platform to shoot stunning landscape images, and allow me to actually be in my photos with whomever else. This is a major GO so if you're on the fence or debating on the other 3 or 4 popular options of which I own 2....I would strongly recommend this guy . You won't be let down!!! Good job Yoozon you nailed it!
