HAFOKO Handheld Adjustable Extension Rod Mount for Gimbal 29” Selfie Stick Pole Handle Compatible with Osmo Mobile 5 Osmo 4 Osmo 3 Osmo2/1 Smooth 5 Smooth 4 Smooth Q Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer

The media could not be loaded.  The initial impression upon receiving this item arriving was how small the packaging was - just an unimpressive white cardboard box measuring eight inches long by not much more than one inch square. However once the stick was removed I was won over. It feels solid and weighs in at a fraction under six ounces. It is made of a non ferrous black powder painted metal with white plastic inserts. It has a feeling of quality. The tripod threads (male top, female bottom) appear strong. The one inch wide, large lower section of the stick has a rubberised surface making it easy to hold. An easy quick twist of the top section enables the user to extend the stick up to 735 mm although it can be locked at any intermediate length as required. I used the stick with a ZHiYUN Smooth 4 and an iPhone 11+. It took the weight well with hardly detectable flexing when fully extended. This stick enables you to shoot smooth video in places that otherwise would be hard to reach, I was easily able to make an inspection film of the roof and the underneath of my coachbuilt motorhome whilst standing at ground level. I was also able easily film a bugs eye view skimming along the surface of our local canal just a few mm above the water surface. I could see into bird's nest 10 feet above the ground. I am sure it would also be ideal for shooting above crowds of people although I have not yet tried that. The only difficulty was seeing what it was the iPhone was actually recording. I solved that problem by getting the iPhone to transmit its video to my watch face in real time. Because of the combined weight of the stick, gimbal and phone the device is best suited for shooting short segments of video as it can become a little tiring on the hand otherwise. A great addition to my kit.

But 2 things.1: the handle had no rubber or something and a bit slippy2: the 2nd images showing a tripod part but it's not part of the deal and the description is describing properly just a bit misled me.

Have used a couple of times as an extension for a DJI osmo 2 worked faultlessly, not sure it would stand up to prolonged use like this though without bending the poles.

Great sturdy handle and can hold the weight of a Dji osmo mobile, however the system for folding and closing the extension away is challenging and the end came undone, we had to fix it with tape as the thread wasn't sturdy! However would recommend as a mid range product.

Very good feels. All metal. A bit heavy. Sterdy fully extended. Twist lock needs a bit of getting used to.

Well made product to be used with my Hohem mobile stabilizer.

These are great. Lightweight and can easily attach to small to medium cameras. You can even attach them to a tripod base or feet.

This worked fine with my Osmo Mobile 3 Gimbal . Delivery was very quick.
