Maximum load

Of course, you also need to take into account the weight of the case, box and other accessories installed on the gadget.

Most modern selfie tripods have a load capacity of up to 0.5 kg, which seems modest, but for most smartphones and action cameras, more is not required. 0.5 – 1 kg is the average value, it is found mainly in models with the ability to install action cameras. Note that such a margin of safety already allows (with the necessary mounts) the use of classic cameras — compacts, many "mirrorless" and even some "reflex cameras" with relatively modest optics. And the most durable models can withstand more than more than 1 kg ; this design can be useful both for a massive device and for a relatively light gadget — if you need a maximum margin of safety.

End thread

The presence of a threaded socket in the design of the tripod.

Such a socket is usually located at the end, on the opposite side from the smartphone / camera mount. It can be used both for mounting various accessories (for example, a folding tripod for transformation into a tripod), and for mounting the rod itself on other structures (for example, a traditional photo tripod). The thread, usually, has a standard size, but this size still needs to be specified separately.

Shutter button

Method of linking the tripod-mounted shutter button to the mount-mounted camera.

Mini jack 3.5mm. Wired connection via a standard 3.5 mm mini-jack. This option is typical mainly for models compatible with smartphones (see "Intended Use") — almost all such gadgets have a mini-jack and, usually, when using a camera, it works as a control connector. The main advantage of tripods with a 3.5 mm plug is that they do not require a separate power supply; of the shortcomings, one can only note the very presence of a wire, which does not create any particular inconvenience, but not everyone likes it.

Bluetooth. Bluetooth wireless connection. Bluetooth modules are found in both smartphones and action cameras; and the absence of wires gives the design a neat appearance. In addition, this option allows you to use a tripod as a remote control even when the camera is placed outside the mount — the connection range is about 10 m. The disadvantage of Bluetooth, compared to a wired connection, is a higher cost, as well as the need for power, which limits battery life tripod.

Remote control. A separate remote control for the camera that comes with the kit is usually wireless, with a Bluetooth connection. Such a remote control is convenient in that it can be held in a convenient place — for example, in a free hand, without being distracted from holding t...he monopod itself. At the same time, a mount for the remote control can be provided on the bar, and in some models it is duplicated by a built-in button (in case of loss of the remote control or dead batteries). And the most advanced remotes give access to various additional functions and may even have their own display. The disadvantages of this option are a rather high price and the need to monitor the battery status also in the remote control.
