There are 1000 different products offering the "same" result for a fraction of the cost. However, understand that manufacture backed items are usually put through more tests and trials than that plastic un-tested deal. This pole exceeded all of my expectations. I had read reviews on the cheaper poles only to find out some had thethem bend, crimp, break, or ultimately lose their GoPro in the worst case scenarios. This pole has 3 different levels of extension, which gives you the comfort of being able to reach over the largest of crowds or even give you that little bit more reach standing on top of a tall structure. I subjected this pole to minimal water, which was merely splashback from a boat ride we took in Belize. I felt comfortable enough with the design, that I placed the camera close to the water to get a unique view of our ride. Get this pole vs another cheaper made pole if you plan on using it for extreme situations or frequent uses. I watched a similar looking pole come apart of a guy on a beach in Cozumel rendering the pole useless once it got sand in it.

This is a must have if you have a GoPro. It has 3 different lengths you can use, just slightly turn it and you will feel & hear a click then you can turn it back and click it to lock it's position. Cool thing is that it has a ball joint so you can easily tilt your camera to the desired angle/position without having to take it off and remount it. This is the sturdiest selfie stick I have come across, yet not heavy. The grip is comfortable for any spot you grab on the handle...with one hand or two hands. Doesn't feel flimsy when you sway back and forth and it can mount on a tripod. The El Grande is waterproof, but doesn't float; you can probably install a floaty on your camera door and it will work. It has 2 holes at the bottom of the handle to drain water out. It's well worth the money I spent on this product. I would highly recommend the El Grande if you need a selfie stick.

Customers enjoy the quality, ease of use, and length of the El Grande 38" Monopod. It provides stability and extension for various situations, including underwater use and extended reach. However, some customers find it a bit heavy to carry around.
