I'll start with the Pros.
1. The tripod itself is actually pretty sturdy. The build quality feels pretty solid and it definitely does exactly what its intended for.
2. The fact that its so light means you can strap it to your camera bag w virtually no extra weight added. Thats a big plus because sometimes I want a tripod and don't want to carry a big one with me all day.
3. The inclusion of a Bluetooth remote was an extra added bonus. It's a nice touch that I accidentally overlooked at first. The ability to remotely shoot stills and video without touching your phone to avoid and shake is great or get selfies or yourself in group shots is smart.
4. They're aren't any crazy bells and whistles here (which is good) its simple and intuitive to use. It's not overly complex.
5. The price. $25.99 is actually great deal for this tripod. Remember it's a phone tripod after all. Dont break your bank.
The Cons:
1. It didn't come with instructions, which honestly isn't that big deal but some people will want that. Most people know how to pair a bluetooth trigger but maybe some don't and I could see someone getting frazzled with that. Again, personally, for me it's neither here nor there but it's worth mentioning.
2. I mentioned that the build quality is solid and I stand by that but there's one piece I'd like to mention. The leg bracing. Its plastic and works perfectly fine but its thin. I know a lot of people tend to hang a shot bag or on bigger tripods hang a traditional sandbag from it but I don't recommend doing so. Like I said it's plastic which is understandable. If you want to add some weight for stability, hand a shot bag or a water bottle off of one of the pins.
Conclusion:
This piece of gear works really well, is a solid build and at the price I'd definitely recommend it. Again, the bluetooth is a nice add on and you cant beat the price. I've included some shots of the gear itself so you can see what it looks like in RL as well as time-lapse I did the other night.
I'll part-two this when I take it on a portrait run.
