    Great for swimming underwater. Although if water gets inside the hollow handle it takes days to dry up.

    The Evo Pole didn't even float. I tried everything with it to see if I was doing something wrong but as soon as I let go of the pole it would go straight down. Luckily I had the strap on. I think it may have had a crack in it since it was an opened item even though it didn't say that.

    Poor design, poor make. It makes click noises so everything can be heard on camera, it is so annoying, you can ruin whole video because of that. Don't buy it!!! Waste of the money and a lot of frustration.

    Not worth it

    I read reviews online of several sticks and found one on Bestbuy.com that said it was in stock at our local BB. I went to BB to buy it on my way to the airport, my last stick rusted in the water. The one i wanted was not at my local BB so I had to pick this one, it was 15$ more but it seemed about the same. I opened the package on my way to the airport. The stick does not hold the goPro. The spacing on the brackets is not close enough to hold the goPro in place. It just flops all over the place. I have several goPro stands and all did not fit. I can't believe that three different stands are all too big. I wish I could take it back but I bought it and threw it in suitcase on the way to the airport.

    It does the job but when I used it underwater, there was water that remained inside the pole and I wasn't able to get it out.

    I don't know if the one I bought was a returned/used item but it was terrible. The clip that holds the remote for the gopro broke and the pole is just difficult to extend and collapse. I do not recommend this.

    Not What I Wanted

    After purchasing this product I realized that it requires a remote control in order to use. So I exchanged it for a different one. I noticed the workmanship is a little questionable for this one.

      You can take photos without using a remote, by setting your camera to Time-Lapse mode. This mode will take a picture automatically every x amount of seconds that you set it to. Also, if you are using the Hero5 Black, you can use the Voice Control feature to take photos. To take videos, you can simply turn the camera on and start recording.

    This item was very cheap looking. The plastic was not clear and I was scared that my GoPro would fall off of the end. Also had a very short extension.

    This extension pole is "ok". It feels cheap. It doesn't feel like a quality product. It works fine, but I don't expect it to last long.

    Item could not be opened while submerged causing inside of stick to fill with water which results in item sinking.

    This pole looks real nice and vibrant color but quality appears low. The pole made a cracking sound and felt it was going to break say I returned it

    Breaks easily causes jittery playback

    This seems like a great concept. I used it for underwater gopro video and it floats but the plastic cracked after one trip. The pole does not lock well and allows the camera to wobble at the end when extended so playback is skippy. The lanyard also causes an irritating tapping noise on playback because it rattles against the housing. Use the Smatree carbon pole instead

    We used this pole probably one time before it broke. The rubber inside the pole to keep it from gettin water inside got twisted up and we can't fix it. We purchase the other gopole as well and it works much better but doesnt float like this one is suppose too. Now ours fills with water

    Good Concept but Disappointing Results

    Had high hopes as it covered all the bases, but the construction and/or materials were not structurally sound and broke during first use. Going forward, I'm sticking (no pun intended) with real GoPro products.
