You see the shot, pull out your tripod, unfold one leg, unfold the next, adjust the third, position the phone—and by then the moment has already changed.
That small amount of setup friction matters more than it sounds, especially when you're traveling alone, filming short-form content, taking a family photo, or moving between locations throughout the day.
The Lamicall STTP08 65" Phone Tripod & Selfie Stick takes a different approach. Tap the base against the ground and its three tripod legs open. When you're finished, lift and pull the pole upward to bring the legs back in.
Add a 65-inch maximum height, Bluetooth remote, cold shoe mount, and selfie-stick mode, and the result is a phone tripod built around one simple idea: spend less time setting up and more time getting the shot.
Quick Answer: What Is the Lamicall STTP08?
The Lamicall STTP08 is a portable phone tripod and selfie stick that extends from approximately 14.17 inches to 65 inches. It weighs 0.77 lb and uses a Tap-to-Open mechanism to deploy its three tripod legs quickly.
It can work as either a freestanding phone tripod or a handheld selfie stick. The phone holder supports 360° rotation and 180° tilt, while an included Bluetooth remote lets you trigger the phone camera without standing beside the tripod. A built-in cold shoe can also hold compatible accessories such as a microphone or LED light.
That combination makes the STTP08 especially useful for travelers, solo creators, family photos, short videos, livestreams, product demos, and anyone who frequently moves a phone camera from one position to another.
The Feature You'll Notice First: Tap-to-Open
Tripod legs normally aren't complicated. They're just inconvenient when you're opening and closing them repeatedly.
The STTP08 changes that part of the routine.
Place the base against the ground and tap downward to release the three legs. Instead of pulling each leg outward individually, the tripod base opens as part of one movement.
When it's time to move again, pull the pole upward and the legs retract toward the body.
This matters when you're not filming from one fixed location all afternoon.
Think about walking through a city and stopping for a quick full-body photo. Shooting several clips across different rooms. Moving between product shots. Taking the tripod from a hotel room to the beach and then packing it again.
None of those situations require complicated equipment. They need equipment that's quick to move.
From 14.17 Inches to 65 Inches
A short selfie stick and a tall tripod solve different problems. Carrying both is rarely convenient.
The STTP08 telescopic pole measures approximately 14.17 inches when collapsed and reaches a maximum height of 65 inches when extended.
At the shorter end, it packs down for storage or handheld use.
Extend it higher and the camera position moves closer to natural standing eye level, which is useful for:
- Full-body photos
- Outfit videos
- Group pictures
- Talking-head videos
- Fitness clips
- Travel photography
- Product demonstrations
- Livestreaming
You also aren't locked into the full 65-inch height. The telescoping design means the phone can sit lower for seated videos, tabletop-style scenes, or lower-angle shots.
The point isn't simply that the tripod is tall. It's that you can choose where the camera needs to be instead of changing your shot around a fixed stand.
A 0.77 lb Tripod Is Easier to Actually Bring With You
The tripod left in the hotel room doesn't help much when the sunset happens somewhere else.
STTP08 weighs approximately 0.77 lb, while its collapsed body is about 14 inches long. That makes it considerably easier to place inside a travel bag, carry-on, large tote, or backpack than a conventional full-size camera tripod.
That difference is particularly noticeable on days when you're already carrying a phone, charger, water bottle, sunglasses, and everything else that comes with a day out.
For travel, portability isn't an extra specification. It affects whether you bring the tripod in the first place.
Tripod When You Need It, Selfie Stick When You Don't
Not every shot needs the phone standing several feet away.
Sometimes you're walking and talking to the camera. Sometimes you want a higher selfie angle. Sometimes you just want a little more distance between the phone and your face.
The STTP08 switches between freestanding tripod mode and handheld selfie-stick mode, so the same accessory can handle both situations.
In tripod mode, position it on a stable surface for hands-free photos or video.
Collapse the legs and hold the pole instead, and it becomes a selfie stick for handheld shots, travel clips, walking videos, and group selfies.
That two-in-one design reduces the number of accessories you need to carry—and, more importantly, reduces how often you need to stop and swap equipment.
Frame Vertically, Horizontally, High or Low
A tripod that only points straight ahead gets limiting quickly.
The STTP08 phone holder supports 360-degree rotation and up to 180 degrees of tilt.
That makes it easy to switch between:
Vertical framing for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Shorts, livestreams, and Stories.
Horizontal framing for landscape shots, conventional video, group photos, and wider scenes.
You can also tilt the phone downward for flat-lay or desk-focused compositions, or angle it upward when a lower camera position works better for the scene.
If you're recording several types of content in one session, you don't need to remove and reinstall the phone every time the format changes.
Step Away From the Camera With the Bluetooth Remote
A tripod becomes much more useful when you don't need another person standing behind it.
STTP08 includes a separate Bluetooth remote control for triggering compatible smartphone cameras from a distance.
Once connected, you can position the phone, move into the frame, and take the picture without reaching back toward the screen.
That works particularly well for:
- Solo travel photos
- Couples photos
- Family pictures
- Group shots
- Full-body outfit photos
- Hands-free demonstrations
It also solves an easy-to-recognize problem: setting a timer, running into position, realizing the framing is wrong, and repeating the process again.
With a remote in hand, you can stay where the photo is actually being taken.
Building a Simple Mobile Creator Setup
Phone cameras can handle surprisingly capable video work. The challenge is usually everything around the phone—positioning it, adding light, recording clearer audio, and keeping the setup portable.
STTP08 includes a cold shoe mount designed to accept compatible accessories such as a small LED light or microphone.
That means a simple tripod can become the center of a lightweight mobile recording setup.
For example:
For a talking-head video:
Mount the phone vertically, add a compact microphone or light, position the tripod around eye level, and use the remote to start your shot.
For a product demonstration:
Lower the tripod, tilt the phone toward the work surface, and frame the product from above or at an angle.
For travel content:
Use selfie-stick mode while walking, then open the tripod when you want to step into the frame.
You don't need to turn every phone video into a studio production. The value here is simply having more options without carrying several separate mounts.
A Wider Base for Freestanding Shots
A tall tripod needs more than a long telescoping pole.
When opened, the STTP08's triangular tripod footprint spans up to approximately 17.7 inches. Aluminum-alloy support bars reinforce the leg structure, while silicone contact areas are designed to add grip against the surface underneath.
For best results, place the tripod on a level, stable surface and confirm that all three feet are fully open before extending the pole.
As with any lightweight phone tripod, stability can change depending on the surface, extension height, phone weight, wind, and attached accessories. On uneven ground or in windy outdoor conditions, use additional caution rather than relying on the tripod unattended.
That is particularly important when the pole is extended close to its maximum height.
Will Your Phone Fit?
The STTP08 phone holder extends to accommodate devices up to approximately 3.4 inches wide and includes silicone contact areas designed to grip the device while helping protect its surface.
The current compatibility list includes a broad range of iPhone models as well as selected Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices.
However, phone model names aren't the only thing that matters.
If you use a thick protective case, wallet case, grip attachment, or other accessory, check the final width of the phone with everything installed.
Measuring takes less than a minute and gives you a more reliable compatibility check than assuming a device will fit based only on screen size.
Where STTP08 Makes the Most Sense
The STTP08 isn't limited to people who call themselves “content creators.”
A quick-deploy phone tripod is useful anywhere you want the phone positioned independently from your hands.
Solo Travel
Set the tripod down, step into the frame, and use the remote instead of asking strangers to take every photo.
Its collapsed size and 0.77 lb weight also make it easier to carry between locations.
Family Vacations
Instead of choosing one family member to stay behind the camera, put everyone in the shot.
The remote is especially useful when you want several attempts without repeatedly walking back to the phone.
TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts
Switch to portrait orientation, choose the height, and start filming.
When the next scene is somewhere else, collapse the tripod and move.
Product Reviews and Demonstrations
Use the tilt adjustment to move between face-to-camera shots, product close-ups, and downward-facing desk compositions.
The cold shoe also gives you somewhere to attach compatible lighting or audio equipment.
Video Calls and Livestreams
A taller phone position can be useful when you want to stand, move around, demonstrate something, or keep more of the room in frame.
Group Photos
Extend the tripod, frame the group, step away from the camera, and trigger the shutter with the Bluetooth remote.
No photographer needs to be missing from the picture.
How to Use the STTP08
The basic setup is deliberately simple.
1. Open the Tripod
Hold the pole upright and tap the bottom of the base against a stable surface to deploy the three legs.
Check that the tripod is fully opened before letting go.
2. Choose Your Height
Extend the telescoping sections until the phone reaches the framing height you need.
For greater stability, don't extend the tripod higher than the shot requires.
3. Insert Your Phone
Open the phone holder and place the device inside.
Confirm that it is centered and held firmly before adjusting the tripod.
4. Set the Camera Angle
Rotate between portrait and landscape orientation as needed, then adjust the tilt until the shot is framed correctly.
5. Connect the Remote
Pair the Bluetooth remote with your phone according to the included instructions.
Take a test photo before stepping away.
6. Add an Accessory if Needed
For video recording, attach a compatible microphone or compact LED light to the cold shoe if your setup requires one.
7. Close and Pack
Remove your phone and any accessories.
Pull the tripod pole upward to retract the legs, collapse the telescoping sections, and pack the unit away.

A Tripod Shouldn't Slow Down the Shot
The most useful feature of the STTP08 isn't simply its 65-inch maximum height.
It's the way several small decisions work together.
Tap the base and the legs open.
Pull it closed when you're moving.
Extend it when you need a full-body composition.
Collapse it into selfie-stick mode when you're filming handheld.
Rotate the phone for the platform you're posting to.
Step into the frame and use the remote.
Add a light or microphone when the shoot calls for it.
That's what makes the STTP08 interesting: not one dramatic feature, but fewer interruptions between seeing a shot and actually capturing it.
