    Very sturdy and easy to use. Perfect if you don't want to be holding the other longer rod/pole.

    Pole is very light and portable making it easy to carry in my pants pocket. The short extension and expandable tripod gives it great added functionality.

    Amazing GoPro Mini Tripod

    Amazing mini tripod for GoPro. Allows for great Time-lapses when placed on a surface that’s not high enough to take a good shot. The fact that it can extend higher is also a plus.

    The best thing about this accessory is the size and portability. It's small and can even fit in my back pocket with the GoPro mounted. I use it more as a tripod, but it can function as a basic selfie stick. It extends, but not too far. It feels a little cheap because it's all plastic, but I guess that is the trade off for being so light. The price is a little high, but overall its a good accessory for my GoPro Hero 7.

    Perfect for the Go pro! It's the perfect size to not look obnoxious or over dramatic and fit in your hand or fanny pack or purse. If you have the GoPro subscription it'll be around $10 less but if you don't there's no point in getting it. I have the subscription but wanted it immediately so I got it the same day from Best Buy! It's lightweight, extends a little and is small - very small - much smaller than the arm and tripod. The only thing that I didn't like is that it didn't come with a standard thumb screw but just a tiny silver screw which was a bit difficult to put in and popped out! So I use a thumb screw which barely fits with the media mod added but does! Also, when the camera is extended it doesn't lock into place, so it can fall, but mine hasn't. Also, it doesn't extend much but enough that if you use max view and you're trying to take a selfie with a couple friends it looks good. I use the go pro hero 9 and the shorty is my favorite to carry around because it's convenient and not bulky like the others!

    Love how small it is, fits in my pocket easily. Just enough extension to get a great picture of yourself and the surrounding area. The tripod works well on flat surfaces so you can stand back and get a great picture or a time lapse. Use this more than I ever thought I would

    Easy to work with Its lightweight and very handy. The only thing is that I prefer the other screw than the one that comes with it, more easy to put in and secured. Would recommend this one.

    One of the best accessories. It's easy to use and provide good stability. Took this to my recent Japan trip and most places don't allow you to bring a "selfie stick". Since this is a mini one and it doesn't extend by a lot, I never get in trouble but it helps if you want to take a selfie.

    I love how small and compact it is. That makes it very portable and easy to carry. I like the it telescopes and turns into a mini tripod. Just wished it had some kind of lanyard or string to attach it on your wrist for safety.
