The Benro BK15 Mini Tripod is pretty versatile, acting both as a mini tripod and a selfie stick. According to the manufacturer, it can fit smartphones ranging from 48mm to 100mm wide, which means it should work fine even with larger phones like the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 or iPhone 13.
So, you probably won't need to worry about phone compatibility.
In terms of functionality, it's got a telescoping six-section post that can extend up to 32 inches. That gives you a decent range of shooting angles, making it handy for things like travel or spontaneous photo shoots. Plus, it's compact and lightweight, which makes it easy to throw in your bag.
Now, for stability—when you fully extend it, the tripod can be a bit wobbly, especially on uneven surfaces. Our research suggests it's generally sturdy, but as with many portable tripods, it's good to be cautious, especially on a windy day or if your surface isn't perfectly flat.
There's also a Bluetooth remote you might want to know about. Some folks have pointed out that it doesn't always stay attached well to the stick and there seem to be some connectivity quirks.
So, if using the remote is crucial for you, it's worth keeping an eye on this aspect.
All in all, if you're after something light and flexible for your photography, and your usual shooting spots are pretty stable, the Benro BK15 could be a decent pick.
