Review on TELESIN Handheld Extendable Monopod Cameras by Josh Maher

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not invisible with GoPro Max out of the box.

This long selfie stick is generally as described. The biggest problem is that they use the ubiquitous offset tripod mount to make it GoPro compatible, which doesn't work with the MAX camera. If you want it to be invisible on the MAX, you'll need an optional tripod mount that isn't offset. Surprisingly, the "food plate" isn't visible from the base of the tripod mount, but the offset to one side of the stick means that when fully extended you have about 18 inches of stick in your hands that you can't get away from. I tried a few angles, removed the stopper and hid the stitch line, but it didn't matter. What I do is allow the bottom of the stick to remain visible. I can only surmise that this is due to the camera not being centered on the stick itself. about quality. The carbon fiber material feels unfinished to me and has sharp edges when rubbed in one direction. Not enough to cut or cause problems but looks like unfinished fiberglass so it's a bit annoying. It's very light and the MAX isn't a small camera, so expect the stick to flex a lot. I don't know how long it will take. But for the extra long selfie stick game, I think that's the point. That's the price of other guys. This is also noted in a video review on YT, and the brand name appears to be literally identical.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
