Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Smatree S2C Carbon Fiber Extendable Pole for GoPro Hero 9/8/7/6/5/4/3 Plus/3/2/1/Session/DJI OSMO Action Camera โ€“ WiFi Remote Controller Excluded by Greg Quinit

Revainrating 3 out of 5

That's maybe too long for me.

There is nothing wrong with the construction and design of this rig. It is very well made and lightweight. Adjustment locks on the bar work well. The stick looks really cool due to the carbon fiber. The remote control holder is easy to mount with the remote control. It's also handy for camera control as I don't have to touch the GoPro. You can also attach the remote control to your wrist. It comes with a comfortable wrist strap. Cons: I was a little overwhelmed by the length of the pole. That sucker really expands there. Wow. It only shrinks to 18 inches when folded with a GoPro Hero 9 camera mounted. If I was looking for a pole to look at a crowd, a wall, or around a corner, that would be great. Who knows, maybe one day I'll need it for that. ? Finally, the most negative attribute. The fancy blue aluminum screw and wrench is kind of over the top. I have a GoPro 9 Media Mod installed on my camera. It adds a little scope to the GoPro. As a result, the supplied screw is too short. So I can't use a wrench to push the camera hard. There is not enough play to install the key on the nut. A little bit frustrating. I just don't know if I like it enough to keep it, so I'm giving it 3 stars for now. If I decide to keep it I'll revise the ratings and up to 4 stars. If the manufacturer sends me a longer screw free of charge, I'll upgrade it to 5 stars. Hooray.

Pros
  • Constructed from high quality carbon fiber for durability and light weight
Cons
  • Unsafe
