Review on AAB EXP 64 Enhanced Extension Reinforced Universal by Matt Larsen

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I doubted this thing would stand up to everyday use. And I was right!

I doubt this item will hold up to everyday use. After just a day of use, my head is already dangling and shaking. In any case, these telescopic poles rarely last long and this one doesn't snap into place very securely. I think the 67" Revain Basic Monopod with Giotto's ball head will be a stronger and more flexible extension for about the same price as this thing. My doubts about the quality of this wand were justified: the distal (tip-end) segment no longer snapped in and the turret fell out. The design of the stick I believe is aluminum, pressed in, and the plastic turret was simply pressed into the tip of the stick. I may be able to fix it with epoxy and re-crimp, and I may be able to make some adjustments as well on the loose segment to keep it from collapsing however I am taking two stars off my rating because in my opinion based on my experience and disappointment this is the worst industrial waste of money I have seen in the last ten years When you buy one, you should treat it like a disposable product from the start.

Pros
  • Airflow & Air Quality
Cons
  • Wrinkled
