Vimose B01 Anthracite

The Vimose B01 scores 37.3 out of 100 overall, with a standout 4.6-star rating from 1,189 reviews that puts it in the 90th percentile for social proof. It's a 66-inch aluminum phone tripod with a Bluetooth remote and a 360-degree mount, but vlogging performance is rough at 24.1 out of 100. For around CAD 26, it's a great stationary stand, just don't expect it to replace a gimbal.

The build quality score lands at the 69th percentile, which is solid for a tripod in this price bracket. The 66-inch telescoping arm is aluminum, and the locking flanges are designed to hold portrait, landscape, and 45-degree angles without slipping. The phone clamp fits devices from 2.2 to 3.6 inches wide, which covers basically every modern smartphone. The 1/4-inch screw mount means you can attach a ring light or fill light to the top, and the cold-shoe slot gives you a spot for a mic or LED panel. That's more mounting flexibility than you'd expect from a stand this cheap.

Connectivity is average at the 53rd percentile, and that's mostly about the Bluetooth remote. It has a 10-meter range, which is fine for solo shooting. The remote lets you trigger stills or start video recording without touching the phone, which eliminates the shake you get from tapping the screen. Battery performance is also middle of the road at the 46th percentile, so don't expect the remote to last for months, but it's not a dealbreaker. The display score of 60th percentile is a bit odd for a tripod, but it likely reflects the phone mount's adjustability rather than an actual screen. There's no EVF, no sensor, no autofocus system to speak of. This is a dumb accessory in the best way: it holds your phone still and gets out of the way.

Stacked against the competition, the Vimose B01 holds its own on social proof but falls behind on raw performance. The LIYTIFOR LR1 and Smartklik R10-Black are both in the same budget tripod space, and they tend to offer similar build quality with slightly different feature sets. The Wyze Cam Pan v3 is a different beast entirely, it's a pan-tilt security camera, not a phone tripod, so it's not a fair fight. The Lecran DC309X and Saneen X9 are closer competitors, and both have stronger reputations for stability and video use. The Vimose's 37.3 total score puts it in the middle of this group. It's not the best tripod you can buy, but it's one of the cheapest with this level of customer satisfaction. If you're choosing between this and a no-name brand with zero reviews, the Vimose wins on trust alone.

There's no official price listed in our database, but the one Canadian listing shows it at CAD 26. That's the kind of money you spend on a decent phone case, not a piece of camera gear. For that price, you get a 66-inch stand, a rotating phone mount, a Bluetooth remote, and 36 months of technical support. The value proposition is straightforward: it's cheap, it works, and 1,189 people gave it 4.6 stars. You're not paying for features you won't use. You're paying for a stable platform and a remote trigger. If you need a tripod for occasional product shots, talking-head videos, or family photos, this is a no-brainer at this price point.

The Vimose B01 is a 66-inch phone tripod that scores 37.3 out of 100 in our database, which puts it in the middle of the pack for tripod and monopod accessories. It's not trying to be a cinema rig. It's a budget-friendly, extendable stand with a Bluetooth remote and a 360-degree rotating phone mount, aimed squarely at solo creators who need hands-free shots without spending real money. The social proof is the real story here: a 4.6-star average across 1,189 reviews, which lands in the 90th percentile for this category. People buy it, use it, and mostly don't complain.

But the numbers also tell you where this thing lives. Video performance sits at 36.5 out of 100, and vlogging is the weakest area at 24.1. There's no stabilization, no autofocus, no weather sealing. It's a 581g aluminum stand with a phone clamp, not a gimbal. If you want smooth walking shots, this isn't it. If you want a stable overhead rig for a product video or a full-body portrait setup, it does the job for the price of a pizza and a movie rental, assuming you can still find a movie rental place.

Skip this if you're a vlogger or anyone who needs to move while filming. The 24.1 vlogging score is the lowest metric on the board, and there's no stabilization to smooth out your footsteps. The 34th percentile stabilization ranking means handheld or walking shots will look shaky. Also skip it if you shoot outdoors in unpredictable weather, since there's no weather sealing. And if you need a tripod for a dedicated camera with a heavy lens, the 581g aluminum build and phone-focused clamp won't cut it. This is a phone accessory, not a full camera support system.

The Vimose B01 is a budget phone tripod that does exactly what it promises: it holds your phone steady and lets you trigger shots from up to 10 meters away. The 4.6-star rating from 1,189 reviews is the strongest signal here, and it's backed by a 69th percentile build score. But the 24.1 vlogging score is a red flag. This is not a tool for run-and-gun creators. It's a stationary stand for product shots, portraits, and hands-free recording. If that's what you need, and you can find it for around CAD 26, it's a solid buy. If you need smooth motion or weather resistance, look elsewhere.
