Content creation has fundamentally changed the way people document their lives, and whether you're a serious social media creator or someone who simply wants better photos and videos on holiday, the right equipment makes all the difference. The Dudao F18 Bluetooth Selfie Stick Tripod is the versatile, all-in-one solution that replaces the selfie stick, the travel tripod, and the wireless remote with a single, elegant product. Extending to 1.1m and converting effortlessly between selfie stick and tripod modes, the F18 gives you the flexibility to capture any shot, from any angle, in any situation—without needing a second person or a professional photography setup.
At 1.1m extended length, the F18 gives you a reach that makes a genuine difference to the quality of your photos and videos. You're not squinting at a cropped face filling the entire frame—you're capturing yourself in context, with backgrounds that tell the story of where you are and what you're doing. The tripod mode opens up an entirely different range of creative possibilities, from stable landscape shots to hands-free video recording for tutorials, reviews, vlogs, and video calls. The legs are solid and well-balanced, giving you a stable platform on uneven surfaces like grass, cobblestones, or rocky terrain—the kinds of places where a flimsy tripod quickly becomes frustrating.
The included Bluetooth wireless remote is what elevates the F18 from a good product to a genuinely great one. Pairing quickly with your smartphone, it lets you trigger the shutter from up to several meters away, giving you complete freedom to frame your shot, get into position, and capture the moment without rushing back to tap a timer button. This is particularly valuable for group shots, dynamic action captures, and any scenario where you want to appear natural in frame rather than rushing in from pressing the button. The remote is compact enough to keep in a pocket and responsive enough to use reliably even in bright outdoor conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Extremely easy. The transition between selfie stick and tripod modes is designed to be quick and tool-free — the tripod legs fold out from the base of the handle in seconds, and the whole conversion takes no more than five or ten seconds in practice. You don't need to attach or detach any components, and the mechanism is robust enough to handle repeated daily switching without becoming loose or unreliable over time.
The included Bluetooth remote operates reliably at distances of up to approximately 10 meters in open conditions, which is more than enough for the vast majority of self-timer photo scenarios. At this range you can position yourself naturally in a scene, compose the shot with the tripod, step into frame, and trigger the shutter without rushing or looking staged. Signals can be affected by walls or obstacles, but outdoor performance at typical photo distances is consistently reliable.
Yes. The phone mount at the top of the F18 is a spring-loaded universal clamp that accommodates smartphones across a wide range of sizes—from compact phones to large-screen models. The Bluetooth remote pairs with both iOS and Android devices and triggers the standard camera shutter function on both platforms. No app download is required for basic Bluetooth remote operation.
The F18 stands at 1.1 meters high when used as a selfie stick, enabling one to take wide-angle pictures that include the background and not just the close-up picture of their face. The selfie stick can be folded down to a size that allows it to fit nicely into a side pocket of a backpack, a handbag, or a big coat pocket.
The tripod legs of the F18 are adjustable angle-wise, hence allowing for better stability on somewhat uneven surfaces. On grass, gravel, sand, and gently uneven terrain, the tripod provides a stable enough base for standard static photography. On significantly uneven or sloped surfaces, additional care with leg angle adjustment is needed. For studio-quality stability on all surfaces, a dedicated, full-size tripod would be needed—but for outdoor casual photography and video, the F18 performs very well.
Absolutely. The phone mount on the F18 can be oriented vertically, which is the correct orientation for Instagram Reels, TikTok videos, and Stories content. The tripod mode in vertical orientation is particularly useful for hands-free filming — set it up, walk back into frame, hit the remote, and film your content naturally without needing someone else to hold the camera.
The Bluetooth remote typically uses a small replaceable battery — usually a CR2032 coin cell — that provides a very long operational life for the relatively low power demand of a Bluetooth shutter button. Unlike rechargeable devices that need regular charging, the coin cell battery lasts for an extended period of normal use. Replacement batteries are inexpensive and widely available if and when needed.
Yes. This spring-loaded universal clamp has been created to be able to handle a phone with its casing, even if it is a heavy casing. The clamp keeps the phone securely in place without having to remove the phone from the casing. However, for extremely heavy rugged cases or very wide phones, the limits of the clamp will be tested.
Yes, and this is a genuinely practical use case that many people overlook. In tripod mode with the phone mounted in landscape orientation, the F18 creates a stable, height-adjustable video call stand that keeps your phone at a natural eye level and frees your hands entirely. For working from home, online meetings, or remote interviews, this is a surprisingly effective secondary use for the F18.
The tripod feature turns the F18 into a multipurpose gadget, which is useful not only for taking selfies but also for various other applications. A simple selfie stick can do nothing more than its name implies. In addition to being a stable platform for video shooting, it allows one to take hands-free videos, act as a video-call holder, and act as a remote trigger for a camera. The extra features definitely make the purchase more efficient for the slightly higher price.
It's perfect for beginner content creators. The functions of a selfie stick combined with tripod capabilities, a wireless remote, and smartphone support cover almost all situations that average content creators might come across in their work. It provides all the necessary functions to create content of a high level without professional cameras.
The F18 should be kept folded with the legs folded inward and the selfie stick extended to its minimum length for safe storage. Ensure the Bluetooth remote is stored somewhere safe where accidental pushing will not cause continuous power loss to the device. The mechanism of the F-18 should be wiped from time to time to clear any dust or grit, as it affects the spring mechanism.
