The flexible tripod from Atairs made a very good impression in our test. The product impresses with its high-quality and stable workmanship as well as its elegant yet simple design. Thanks to its compact dimensions and low weight , the tripod is easy to transport. As a real all-rounder, the tripod can be used with smartphones as well as photo and action cams thanks to various adapters. The Bluetooth remote control connects quickly to the desired device. With the adjustable legs and the 360° ball head, all angles and positions are possible. The possible uses are therefore unlimited. All in all, the flexible tripod is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a flexible and stable shooting positionfor any undertaking.

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be ensured.

The flexible tripod from Atairs arrived for our test in a typical shipping box. This was undamaged on arrival and could be opened without any problems. Inside the product box, the flexible stand was wrapped in plastic film. This type of packaging ensured that the product was optimally protected from external influences and shipped hygienically. Product protection was therefore fully guaranteed and the xy was delivered in perfect condition .
The packaging is partially recyclable. However, the plastic film cannot be recycled . Nevertheless, the presentation of the product makes a very good impression.

ℹ️ Most people’s first impression after unpacking is immediately memorable. Are the contents of the package complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The product box contains the flexible tripod, a smartphone holder, an adapter for action cams and a Bluetooth remote control (incl. battery). The product is made of stainless steel and rubber, the individual accessories are made of high-quality plastics (TPE, ABS, POM, ABS+PC). The correct handling and all other product information is described on the product box in German with pictures.
The contact information can also be found on the product box. However, there is no customer hotline. Nevertheless, this is a very good way to ship a product.

ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the product processing. How high quality are the materials used? Is the look and feel satisfactory?

First of all, it should be mentioned that the flexible stand makes a very good visual impression. There are no visible manufacturing defects. In addition, all transitions are cleanly finished and there are no scratches or edges to be seen. The legs of the product can be easily bent into any desired shape, in which they then remain. The materials used are very high quality and stable. The tripod also impresses with its elegant yet simple design.
There is no information on the sustainability of the product. However, due to the high-quality materials used, we assume a long service life. The manufacturer states a service life of 10 million uses under normal conditions.

ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

The flexible tripod with Bluetooth remote control from Atairs is an impressively versatile product. With a length of just 28.5 cm and a weight of only 227 g, the product is very light and can be easily stored in any bag.
For our test, we first connected the Bluetooth remote control (incl. battery) to the smartphone. This was quick and easy. We then mounted the cell phone holder with the thread on the tripod and were able to clamp our smartphone with the spring balancer (up to 78 mm wide). The cell phone sat securely in place. Thanks to the flexible legs and the 360° ball head, we were able to wrap the tripod around various objects or bend it into any position. The cell phone holder also has two threads to allow different positions. Only bending it into a 90-degree angle (upright) required some creativity. With the Bluetooth remote control, the cell phone camera can be controlled from a distance of up to 10 meters.
We also tried out the other adapters (action cam and camera). We had a few stability problems with the camera at the beginning, but these could be solved with short shots. Overall, the tripod can hold up to 2 kg and is compatible with various cameras, smartphones and action cams. The product can also be used as a selfie stick, cell phone holder (e.g. for bicycles), table tripod, webcam holder and monopod. The legs can even be bent into a tablet stand.

ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.5 stars. One criticism is that the tripod is more suitable for smartphones than cameras, as its stability is limited. The legs are also difficult to bend. Other reviewers, on the other hand, find the flexibility ideally adjusted, praise the quality and stability and recommend the product. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the legs are pleasantly easy to bend and remain in the bent shape. It can be used with a camera, but only for shorter periods of time.

Prices of up to €80 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products, on the other hand, are available for as little as €9. The flexible tripod from Atairs is therefore in the lower price segment with a current price of €24.95. Consequently, the price ratio is very good for the quality and scope of services you get.
