This product just oozes quality and is a Swiss army knife of a mount
This is one of those items you look at and think will it be useful and is it worth buying. I have the GoPro 3-in-1, which is excellent BTW but I wanted something smaller and lighter that I could just grab and stick into my pocket. Previously I used my GoPro floaty which was nice and short and light but a bit limited in what it could do.
I decided to buy and try this and if it wasn't right just return it but as soon as it arrived and I had a chance to mess around with it I realised that this was a keeper. Its short when fully folded and gives some useable extension. It is similar to the GoPro 3-in-1 in the ways that it can be configured and although it is not quite as stable as stable as a tripod, it can be used to support a camera for short periods as it is wide enough to be stable when folded.
Each of the joints have a series of intermeshed teeth that makes the joint rigid once the thumbscrew is tightened and their is even a small spanner supplied if you need to really apply some pressure although I found that hand tight was good enough in most situations. Instead of the standard GoPro mount this is fitted with a 1/4" tripod thread to which a supplied aluminium GoPro mount can be attached. This arrangement allows for a 360 degree swivel. The metal finish doesn't provide the best grip in the world but a screw in wrist strap is included which attaches to a tripod thread in the base of the handle section.
Overall, this product just oozes quality and at a price that should make GoPro feel ashamed of what they are offering for more than double the cost.
Don't take my word for it - try it for yourself....
