Shockingly sturdy and way more useful than I expected

I grabbed this because I was tired of balancing my phone on random golf bags and water bottles to film my swing. I wanted something that could actually stay put in the grass and not topple over with the slightest breeze. The ground spike and tripod combo are killer – it’s super stable on the course, and the MagSafe connection feels really secure, so I’m not nervously checking if my phone is about to face-plant. The telescoping pole and swivel head make it easy to get those down-the-line and overhead shots without spending 10 minutes fiddling with the setup.

Rock-solid magnetic mount with some setup quirks

The magnetic connection on this selfie stick is impressively strong, and the combination of tripod legs and ground spike makes it really versatile for everything from the driving range to the beach. I love how tall the telescoping pole gets and the 360° swivel head makes framing shots at different angles easy. That said, switching between the spike and tripod can feel a bit fiddly at first, and if you don’t have a MagSafe iPhone you’ll rely more on the clip, which isn’t quite as slick as the magnet mount. I’d still recommend it for golfers, outdoor content creators, and anyone who films solo outside and wants a sturdy, flexible setup.

My New Go-To Stand for Solo Range Sessions and Travel

When I first unboxed this GreatYYT selfie stick, it felt more like a compact piece of camera gear than a phone accessory—surprisingly solid but still very light. The aluminum pole has a smooth, almost satin finish, and the sections slide out with a clean, controlled feel rather than that rattly, loose extension you get from cheaper sticks. On the course, the ground spike actually bites into grass firmly; I was able to set it up behind the tee box, extend it close to full height, and it stayed put even with a light breeze. On concrete at the range, the tripod legs fold out wide enough that it doesn’t feel wobbly, and the 360° swivel head lets me fine-tune the angle without having to reposition the whole stand. The MagSafe mount’s magnets are noticeably strong—my iPhone 14 snaps on with a satisfying click and doesn’t budge when I adjust tilt—while the clip mount is handy for my older backup phone and a small action camera. Overall it’s become the thing I toss in my bag whenever I’m heading out, because it covers ground spike, tripod, and simple phone mount all in one without feeling fussy or fragile.
