Review on πŸŽ₯ Smatree SmaPole DS1 Extendable Stick: Compatible with DJI OM 4, OSMO Mobile 3/2/1, OSMO PRO/RAW - Tripod Compatibility by Aaron Stewart

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good extender but not camera tripod and gimbal

It's ok as a retractable stick, but there are drawbacks as a tripod. When mounted on a tripod, the gimbal will begin to vibrate due to the bending of the shaft. The gimbal will start to adjust too much, resulting in even more flexing and uncontrollable wobbling of the entire gimbal, tripod, and camera. You must physically stop the shaking with your hands. It did every time I used it as a tripod. I'm sticking with the base that came with my DJI Osmo for now. I still use a stick because as long as you hold it, it seems fine.

Pros
  • The adjustable ball head allows 360Β° horizontal rotation and 90Β° vertical rotation for shooting from different angles.
Cons
  • Something different
