Over the past few weeks, I’ve been putting the Photography Copy Stand with Adjustable Phone Holder and Remote Control (Model Number: D8780-2-J) through its paces. This compact and seemingly versatile stand promises ease of use and stability for various photography and videography applications. Let’s dive into a detailed review to see if it lives up to the hype.

The D8780-2-J boasts several key features designed for convenience and functionality. The adjustable phone holder is a standout, securely clamping smartphones ranging from 5.8cm to 9.3cm in width. This accommodates a wide range of phone sizes. The inclusion of a Bluetooth remote control is a significant plus, extending the control range up to 10 meters. This was particularly useful during hands-free shooting scenarios. The adjustable height (30cm to 45cm) and angle (-30° to 90°) provide excellent flexibility for composing shots. The stand’s sturdy build, using aluminum alloy for the main rod and cast iron for the base, instills confidence in its stability. Finally, its lightweight and foldable design makes it incredibly portable.

In terms of performance, the D8780-2-J generally exceeded my expectations. The stability was impressive, even with my larger phone attached. I experienced minimal wobbling, even when adjusting the height or angle. The remote control functioned flawlessly throughout testing, with a consistent signal within the advertised 10-meter range. The adjustable height and angle allowed for creative shot composition, making it versatile for various projects. The build quality is excellent – it feels robust and well-constructed, suggesting it can withstand regular use. One minor drawback is the clamping mechanism which might be a bit tricky for larger phones.

I used this stand for product photography, video recording, and even live streaming. In each scenario, it performed admirably. The ability to adjust the height and angle proved particularly useful in achieving the desired framing. The Bluetooth remote provided a convenient method for initiating recording, freeing up my hands. However, the range could sometimes be a bit less stable when I was near to the edge of the 10-meter distance.

Pros:

• Stable and sturdy design
• Adjustable height and angle
• Functional Bluetooth remote control
• Lightweight and portable
• Compatible with a wide range of smartphones

Cons:

• Clamping mechanism could be improved for easier use with larger phones.
• Remote control range can sometimes be inconsistent when near the edge of 10 meters.

Overall, the Photography Copy Stand with Adjustable Phone Holder and Remote Control (D8780-2-J) is a valuable tool for anyone needing a portable and versatile solution for smartphone photography and videography. Its strengths lie in its stability, adjustability, and convenient remote control. While minor improvements could be made to the clamping mechanism and remote range consistency, these are relatively small issues compared to its overall functionality and value. I would confidently recommend this stand to others seeking a reliable and easy-to-use option.
