Review on Aluminum Selfie Stick Monopod for Action Camera - Extendable Handheld Telescoping Grip for GoPro Max/9/8/7/6/5/4/3+, DJI OSMO, Insta 360 One R - Includes Tripod Stand (Suit) by Kristin Anderson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Top notch build, but thicker and with larger components than I expected

This joystick feels good in hand as the link end sold is metal not plastic. 1/4 top screw for use with such attachments, GoPro mount with thumbscrew included. Adapter with 1/4 female thread on the bottom where there is a strap attachment, can also be used for a tripod, which is not included. Compared to other selfie sticks on the market, it has a good design and some useful attachments. Areas where I was a little disappointed. The male 1/4 cylinder is so big compared to my insta360 selfie stick. The selfie stick is heavier and thicker in hand than the insta360 selfie stick I have. They're both about the same length... The telescoping handle is a twist and lock mechanism, which I don't like, and would prefer you just pull it out and put it back in. They are easier to handle and edit. The GoPro mount is metal, as is the thumbscrew, but the two outer sections of the GoPro mount are very thin. The rope that attaches to the lanyard attachment is a very strong canvas material, but very thin. I wish they would just take the heavy wrist strap material up to the attachment point. For the price I would look at the insta360 as they offer one of this length and a longer one for the same price. You only miss attachments, which is a bonus in this case. I wish they went further with the carbon fiber route to make it lighter.

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • Expensive
