The TELESIN Mini Desktop Selfie Stick Tripod (GP-MNP-092-X) promises versatility in a compact package. This 2-in-1 device functions as both a selfie stick and a desktop tripod, making it appealing for action camera enthusiasts and casual photographers alike. I’ve spent the last few weeks putting it through its paces, testing its stability, build quality, and ease of use in various scenarios. This review will share my honest experiences and help you decide if it’s the right accessory for your needs.

The TELESIN GP-MNP-092-X boasts a truly compact design. Its small size makes it incredibly portable, easily fitting into a backpack or even a large pocket. The extendable design allows for flexible framing, while the sturdy build feels reassuringly robust despite its lightweight nature. The non-slip rubber feet on the tripod base and handle provide a secure grip on various surfaces. The compatibility with a wide range of action cameras and even some digital cameras is another significant advantage. It’s easy to mount and dismount the camera, which is always a plus. The construction using PC, PA nylon, and aluminum alloy materials contributes significantly to the overall durability and feel of this device. I’ve used it with my GoPro Hero 9 Black and my DJI Osmo Action 3 without any issues whatsoever.

In terms of performance, the TELESIN GP-MNP-092-X delivered on its promises. As a selfie stick, it’s lightweight and easy to maneuver, allowing for smooth and steady selfie videos. The extendable arm provides a good reach, allowing me to capture wider shots or simply keep myself further away from the lens. As a tripod, its stability was impressive. Even with my GoPro Hero 9 Black mounted, it remained steady on various surfaces, including desks and uneven surfaces (with the help of the sturdy feet). I used it both indoors and outdoors, and I found it remarkably versatile. The maximum extended length proved helpful in various shots. I did notice some minor vibrations when shooting in windy conditions, but this is expected from a mini-tripod of this size and weight. While it’s not intended for heavy cameras, it performed flawlessly with the action cameras I tested it with.

Pros:

• Compact and lightweight design
• Versatile functionality (selfie stick and tripod)
• Good stability for its size
• Wide camera compatibility
• Durable construction
• Easy to use

Cons:

• May not be ideal for extremely windy conditions
• Limited payload capacity for heavier cameras
• Some minor vibrations are possible at high zoom levels.

Overall, the TELESIN Mini Desktop Selfie Stick Tripod (GP-MNP-092-X) is a fantastic little gadget that I highly recommend. Its versatility, compact size, and ease of use make it a valuable addition to any action camera or even smartphone owner’s kit. While it has some minor drawbacks, its strengths significantly outweigh its weaknesses. If you’re looking for a portable and reliable solution for capturing both selfies and stable shots, look no further. I give it a strong thumbs up.
