Joby Jb01549-Bww Telepod 325 Telescoping Tripod, Extendable Monopod, Selfie Stick With Ball Head, For Csc, Mirrorless, Point And Shoots, Action Cameras, Vlogging Kit, Black

Unlike the many cheaper Chinese brands of selfie sticks available on Amazon. This selfie stick is well made as reflected in the higher price. The three legs have some resistance so they hold their position & appear to be spring loaded so they do not flap around. However there is much room for improvement.For the price they could have used less plastic by making the three legs & the lever which tightens the ball head metal, & added a rubber grip on the legs. The biggest issue i have is with the twisting mechanism that locks/unlocks the four telescopic pole sections. This is a bit fiddly to use & isn't secure enough for action shots. There is some wobble when the stick is fully extended. This causes it to come loose when you move it around. A telescopic pole that you simply pull out would be better.The other issue is the shortness of the 14cm legs. They only pull outwards by 25 degrees so do not give enough stability when the selfie stick is fully extended. A gust of wind could easily topple it over. So i can only recommend it for indoor use but even then its somewhat overpriced.

Good points: really comfy handle, lightweight, loads of extendable height for a tripod of it's compacted size, ball head has lots of movement including portrait/landscape.Bad: it snapped within 3 months of purchase through normal use. The design involves twisting the unit to extend the tripod.... we create content daily and this kind of regular use meant the ball head snapped off from nothing but wear on the joint, just under 3 months after purchase.Conclusion: I've had £5 eBay tripods last way longer than this. As nice as the handle grip feels, it's not made for anything more than desktop or home use.

I got this after i lost a tripod extender ( i bought one too) It was at a reduced price. I like it a lot. When its closed it can act as a small table monopod or even a selfie stick, the rubber on the stand part means you have a good grip in your hand. Seems sturdy enough even to take my Canon M100. quite stable considering the size. Overall i love it, thinking of getting its larger version for an SLR

After a year of very light use, the head snapped clean off. Disappointed.

Love this. I bought a few around the same price point, and this is by far the best. Lovely solid grip, extends smoothly, no flex, and the tripod handle closes firmly and securely. Love it. Only thing that would have made it better would be if it included a GoPro comparable mount.
