Octopus Tripod for Universal Action Camera / Smartphone

This is a review for: Moonor Universal Flexible Adjustable Octopus Tripod Stand with Smartphone Holder Mount for SLR DSLR Cameras 

I ordered this tripod because I'd seen videos of peop






le using similar ones online and thought they looked really cool, I have a friend who enjoys making film and just bought a new DSLR camera so decided to get him this as a small secret Santa Christmas present. I also liked how this could be used with both a smartphone and any camera with the standard mount hole.


The product comes in a simple cardboard box, inside the box is the following:
1x Flexible Tripod
1x Smartphone mount for Tripod
1x Bluetooth Remote Shutter for smartphones



The tripod is easy to use, you bend the legs over whatever you want it to grip around, or you can straighten them out and use it as a (short) ordinary tripod. You can then rotate the camera or tilt it up and down by loosening the screw clamp, moving the camera and tightening it again. Here's a picture of my own DSLR hanging upside down from a pole.

To attach your camera, the best thing to do is to detach the mounting clip from the top of the tripod. Screw in the top thumb screw and this allows you to push the release button and remove the clip. Then screw this clip into your camera or the phone mount and then put it back on the tripod.
This mounting clip allows you to easily remove the camera from the tripod and put it back on without having to unscrew and re-screw it each time.


The smartphone mount is useful, with the tripod and the Bluetooth shutter button it's useful for taking group photos. To insert your phone you pull the top part of the mount and put your phone in. One problem I found was that I had to apply quite a bit of force to fit my OnePlus One in (similar dimensions to the iPhone 6 Plus), it's quite a small smartphone clip.

The Bluetooth shutter button is easy to use, simply pair it to your phone in the Bluetooth settings menu as usual.


 liked the way the tripod has a spirit level on it so you can make sure your photos are taken level.

Overall I would recommend this tripod, there are other big brand equivalents of this flexible tripod however I couldn't see any way this one is inferior to those, this one is much cheaper. The recipient of this gift really liked it!
