Good bit of kit for self takes...

Hi.

If you like using your smart phones for self takes. Or haven't come across these. This may interest you?

Korum self take station.
And a cheap Bluetooth wireless shutter remote from Amazon. Works with Android and iOS phones.

Just need to catch something worthwhile 😂

I’v got same set up along with ‘Lens Buddy’ app so it takes a series of shots after the initial press (however many & speed you ask it to). Works well & even though i normally avoid Korum stuff these days find the light useful especially when packing up in the dark
 
Have ordered the same now so just need to catch something worth taking a picture of now. Maybe a record barbel (for me) as my best is only just below 13. But the Avon and Stour await, and possibly the Severn on a venture up North.

Best of luck!!
The weird thing is I've had pretty much everything up to 12lb never a 13 lb. I've had big 14 plus's. But I've always wanted a 13lb after seeing one in the flesh, but maybe this season. 🤞
 
Not sure why the command for taking photo is turn up volume…

Strange, as on mine it’s ’tap take’. I tell Siri to turn on voice control, ‘open camera’, ‘show names’ and all the buttons are labelled. The shutter button is labelled ‘take’, so saying ‘tap take’ takes a photo. Works flawlessly and I don’t know why anyone would use an app or whistle or anything like that.
 
Not sure how much that Korum version is, but I bought something very similar on Ebay, a bracket that screws into a bank stick and holds your phone, with a very bright multi function light on top. Have used it with voice control and it works very well both in daylight and night. Also doubles as a secondary torch when packing up in the dark - it is very bright on max power!
