Hey guys , so i will keep it short

Can't find anyone with a DSLR to take decent pics of me - so i have decided to take things into my own hands

Thinking of getting one of these smartphone tripods with a LED Ring Light ( i recall @KillYourInnerLoser recommending one of these to someone for indoor photography here ) :

I will take the photos myself and try to show them here ( fuck i'm super shy lol - and insecure about my looks but fuck it i'll share with you guys for brutally honest guidance ! ) before using them on dating apps

The reviews look fairly good on all three - i translated them to English and read them individually

If you guys can take a look and suggest which one would be the best for taking decent pictures of me in my dorm room, i would really appreciate it !

It's a decent room with a sliding glass door for a short balcony which also lets in a lot of light , so i might be able to take good pictures and good angles

My phone has a good front camera and since i cannot afford a DSLR , i will use it with the tripod to take pictures

Note that i will ONLY use the pictures on Badoo and OKCupid - both of which i consider 2nd Tier dating apps in Turkey

Also , i might use these pictures on Happn ( i rate it as 1.5 tier dating app ) which is said to have a lot of usage by women in Turkey

Tinder and Bumble in my opinion are Tier 1 dating apps - with the hottest women around , so i will NOT use the pictures from this tripod setup on those - i will avoid using these two apps UNTIL i can get in touch with a professional dating photographer in Istanbul

Please let me know you recommendations for the tripod setup that will be best for me and anything else that might help me currently - i have a very poor hit rate in OKCupid and all the girls refuse my chat requests in Badoo , so i need something to at least revive my self-esteem on these apps

@Vice , thenks mate - you told me in my very first post to AVOID the mentality of " I will date after doing X " and part of the inspiration for this post came from your comment that day :)

feel free to chip in with any guidance mate !

Looking forward to ALL your suggestions - i am open to all kinds of critique !
