Review on XShot 2.0 Camera Extender for All Major Camera Models - XS2379-F by Elizabeth Silva

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for use with GoPro Hero 3 and GoPro Tripod Mount

I took this thing out of the box, attached the GoPro to the tripod mount and then attached it to the xShot 2.0. It worked as expected and seems solid and easy to use. The shots you take with it are amazing on GoPro. This is very helpful when photographing large crowds and generally gives you absolutely amazing angles. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because it is not as durable as I would like. It has a slight play in the grooves that slide outwards. Therefore, the camera can move slightly to the right or left. Another reason for the four sprockets is that the adjustment knob on the platter is small and needs to be tightened fairly firmly to keep the top from rotating. The small screw disk in the tripod could also be made more attractive. Overall it starts small and telescopes very far for an amazing view with the gopro hero 3 camera. It's stiff enough to support the weight but can be a little stiffer and easier to tighten if you're using a heavier camera. 1/8 inch), and while a rotating lock knob and small lock washer for tripod screws could be better, they can be tightened for secure use with a Go-Pro camera.

Pros
  • Handy
Cons
  • No Automatic
