Review on TELESIN Selfie Stick Tripod: Carbon Fiber Lightweight Monopod for GoPro, DJI Osmo, Insta 360 & More by Jamie Simpson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The 35.5 " TELESIN Carbon Fiber Selfie Stick Tripod has PROBLEMS!

Overview - TELESIN Selfie Stick, 35.5" Lightweight Carbon Fiber Selfie Stand for GoPro. This device has THREE main problems: 1) it makes a NOISE , when it's retracted 2) it can only be used in full extension 3) the GoPro head is plastic and I can't find a way to detach it to replace it with aluminum When you unbox this unit for the first time, The first thing you'll notice is that the retracted extension sections are "loose" inside the unit. " and rumble around. You can't use it to record video while moving around with the block retracted without the sounds of loose parts rattling inside. - Next it is NOT possible if you try to partially drive out the block. Ironically, TELESIN a produces many other models that have a partial extension function. The GoPro mount on the top is made of plastic. They seem to have attached the adapter, but I couldn't easily find a way to detach the plastic adapter to replace it with an aluminum one. You can buy aluminum GoPro adapters on Amazon. Fancy block carbon fiber spoiled by the plastic GoPro adapter on the top. Telesin should have included a METAL aluminum GoPro adapter on the top of the unit and charged just a few bucks more - don't buy that Telesin's aluminum version is much better but heavier Because of the lightweight gimmick, Telesin unnecessarily ruined this design. - BUY ANOTHER TELESIN OR A DIFFERENT BRAND GoPro joystick.
