Insta360 Extended Edition Selfie Stick, 3m (9.8ft) Carbon Fiber Invisible Pole, Compatible with Insta360 Ace, Ace Pro, Ace Pro 2, GO 3, GO Ultra, GO 3S, GO Ultra, ONE X2, X3, X4, X5 Action Cameras

Minus the novelty of a 9ft selfie stick this actually is great for taking drone like shots. Not terribly heavy given it’s 9 feet and it extends and collapses easily. I recommend using the insta remote with it and haven’t had any issues with the camera not picking up the record option on the remote when fully extended. Definitely sturdy base but can be a little flimsy fully extended especially in heavy winds. Didn’t feel like my insta was going to fall off or anything. Super easy to use and it is invisible in the videos despite the obnoxious length. I find it works great in my hiking packs outside pouch, I extend it about a foot over my head and have hiking 360 pov. And its extra heft means it doesn’t shift around a lot like the standard selfie stick. It’s about 3X thicker than the basic stick and weighs little bit more than double.

Insta360 is a company that makes products after my heart. Perfect design and functionality at the highest of quality. Feels like it was made for my hand. This selfie stick is the best selfie stick I have ever used. I cannot fly a drone here where I live, but with this selfie stick I am able fake drone shots. Buy one today. It is worth it

Great and light for the length. Works great but would be nicer if it's a bit more rigid when fully extended. Great for doing drone-like shots for ares where drones are not allowed or risky to fly.

This was by far the most expensive "selfie-stick" that I have ever bought. You might ask yourself: Why would anyone spend an ungodly amount of money for such a novelty item? Let me explain, since I was in the same situation.Anyone who browses social media arrives at a point where they see fantastic drone-like footage where the camera spins around, the camera angle appears to change rapidly, or some other strange effects that are difficult, almost impossible to do with a normal camera attached to a drone. Having a 360° camera allows you to reframe the shots/videos in post-production, which in turn can help you achieve similar results. However, your arm is only so long - for anything where you need more distance to the subject (especially in height), you need a stick. This product is the most ridiculous of them - with a length of almost 10ft/3m it is not merely a stick, its a pole.Let me first say that this pole serves almost no purpose without a 360° camera - anything larger than an action camera would bend the stick too much when extended. Anything less than a 360° camera would not allow proper reframing and needs constant attention on how to hold the pole properly.The setup is as easy as screwing the camera tight, and extending the stick. Unfortunately, it does not include a remote button to start recording - so either do this via app, or start recording before you extend the stick.In terms of video footage, the possibilities are pretty endless. Drone-like shots is as easy as extending the stick and whirl it around. (Generally, be mindful of your surroundings - 10ft/3m is surprisingly long) You can do a lot of effects that are otherwise reserved for drones - such as "rocket", where you start at the bottom and slowly raise the camera to show the object, as well as the surrounding from a top view. You can hold the long pole over edges (or even into canyons/crevasses), make funky movies by threading the pole through someones legs, under the car, between tires, and so on. Youtube has lots of content creators showing some of their tricks.I would like to add a few more usages that you would otherwise never achieve: Drone-like shots and following in wooden areas, brushes, tunnels, or otherwise [drone-] restricted areas. Places with stronger winds or heavy rain, or other conditions where drones cannot fly. Or any hover shots over water. Obviously the reach is limiting at "only" 10ft/3m, but given the short focal length of the camera, it will often look like much more. Also - compared with drones, you have to be less careful when operating this pole with the camera attached. So while you can use this pole to record a very busy city life - expect that you will stand out and people will start staring at this strange looking setup. But don't let that stop your fun!Positives:+ You can get incredible (otherwise impossible) shots using this pole+ You are not limited to specific environments, and can use it in wind, rain, or other conditions+ Very sturdy build quality, but easily adjustableNegatives:- It can only reach the biggest potential with 360° cameras, such as the products from Insta360- Once pulled to the max length, even with a small and lightweight camera, the setup is getting very heavy- This also leads to some wobbling at the tip that causes some camera shake- No way to activate recording on the pole itselfNeutral:+/- The price is really high for a long retractable stick for a lot of potential users+/- Since it is such a novelty item, expect everyone staring at it+/- You have to be extra careful when swinging this one around to not hit anything - given its large reachOverall an extremely suitable product for 360° cameras. I would consider it a must buy for Insta360 cameras, such as the X3. The combination allows you to do drone-like shots, cinematic camera swings, or dramatic footage from weird angles that you have never explored before. The price is high, but the quality is matching. Both the missing recording button, as well as some of the negative ergonomic aspects bring this otherwise fantastic product down by one star.
