Conclusion: This construction is not strong enough to prevent the GoPro from rocking on the end of the extendable stem. I bought it to keep my GoPro away from me while snowboarding. I didn't really like the look of the helmet mounts when snowboarding so I took them to keep my camera away from me. Thanks to the wide angle of the GoPro camera, you can see your person almost completely when it is fully extended. It worked great for a while, but this thing isn't well made to deal with the vibration and pressure from the camera. At least GoPro. The screws that fix the camera angle at the end of the stand are not strong enough and will eventually loosen and then the camera will fall from all sides. I wanted to end up using a strap in case I fell off while snowboarding. I wouldn't have to run uphill to find my camera (or avoid losing it in the snow if you accidentally fall in the snow), but the lanyard loop is too small to put on with a gloved hand, and the Shoelace is so weak I still wouldn't trust it to hold on during the fall. In general, you can buy a more durable pole or make your own. After a few more uses I think it will be broken.
