At first I want to or on the machine to come to speak on the package itself:
The package includes the Selfie rod, a manual, a USB charging cable and the wrist strap.
The manual, which is printed in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Japanese, the Germans partly translated very badly. You have to speculate what is meant in some places. But do not worry, the operation of Selfie stick is very simple, so please do not worry that you do not manage to take the rod in operation. The pictures in the manual and still help to understand the instructions poorly written.
I want you, as always, give a couple information derived from the manual:
Upload:
The Tao Tronics Selfie rod is powered by built-in battery. To charge the battery, it endorse any active USB port or adapter to the USB charging cable. During charging the red LED is illuminated and is switched off when the charging is complete.
The Application:
In the beginning you have to be turned on and the Tao Tronics Selfie stick must be coupled with the mobile phone's Bluetooth feature on the phone. If the LED is blue after 3 seconds is lit, the unit is turned on. If it flickers or is it coupled to the mobile phone tries to connect to. Turn Bluetooth on your phone and search for "Tao Tronics" TT-SH10 and then coupled with the Tao Tronics Selfie Stick. Have you done everything correctly, the LED stops flashing and turns light blue. Then you can set the phone to the holder by pulling the extensible arm. The holder can be rotated to adjust the perfect camera angle.
To make a Selfie, go to camera mode when mobile and when you're ready to shoot you, click the Camera button.
Note: If within 5 - 10 mins nothing happens, so you take a photo, so the Bluetooth controller goes into sleep mode to conserve battery life and the blue LED turns off. To activate it again, press the camera button once.

The Tao Tronics rod in fully extended state very safe and above all easy. So it is easily possible to shoot photos of several people, because you then so keep the rod, so that all fit on the photo or to take pictures of a landscape or the like. We think that's really really great and if you have a Iphone as with us during the test, uses to shoot a really nice way photos, without having to ask someone to take a photo or degree to uproot half the arm. Therefore, the product is already worth if you travel a lot and would like to take pictures with them and the environment.
With regard to the load capacity, since the bar with us, we tested several times and she had not yet been load. So you can use them for a long time, precisely is also good that the rod after a certain time off or in standby mode is so easy on the battery. The charging cable is very short, but that's not so bad, because it can be so close to put the charger overnight so nothing happens and so often do not need to load the rod. The battery has a good capacity in any case.
On having posted photos I would like to show you how you can bend the bracket. After the extensibility is a swivel so that you can bend the bracket as you need it. The quality is very sturdy, so you do not have the same fear that the rod is broken, however, considering that not more like 5 kg may be attached to the holder.
Is the Tao Tronics Selfie rod pushed together, so in packed state, it is very small. It fits so in any rucksack or handbag. Or they are taken around the wrist, what indeed the hand strap to fix them. The Tao Tronics Selfie rod weighs just 150g, so it is very easy. What makes evident also very positive when taking pictures, because you have to keep any heavy rod, so that one comes into trembling.
Own Experience:
In our test we have an Iphone 6 used. My Nokia Lumia 930 has left me with the test completely in the lurch, because I could from whatever reason this app does not download. It always was an error. My Nokia, however, had found this app, but what had bothered me at this point, was that I would have to pay something for this app. I could opt for an app for 0.99 or 1.49. That had me a bit disappointed, because you can buy already the Tao Tronics Selfie rod and then must again invest something to so you can use it for Windows might. (With Android, there are some free apps, but I can not say exactly what is to be used there. Because if you enter in the Google Play Store SelfieCam, some suggestions come) When the Windows Phone, he builds Although short a connection, but separated the connection is always after a short time. So that you can not use the rod. So had the Iphone 6 believe from my significant other tuned. There was no trouble with the connection. The link remained without any problems and you could make very good photos with it. For those of you who own an iPhone and like to do Selfies, this bar is just right when did you ever been annoyed that your arm is too short: P
Brief summary of our experience:
- For people under you who own an iPhone and like to take pictures, the Tao Tronics rod is highly recommended
- For people under you who own a Windows Phone, probably not recommended, as it turned out during the test. With Android phones recommended if you find the app that should be used exactly for that. Have no Android device had at hand, thus I was able to not run the test.
- The Tao Tronics Selfie bar is nice and light, durable, has good quality, and it can make beautiful pictures are taken.
- You can shoot with her beautiful photos, which would be impossible without the so Selfie rod. Even in the extended state it is safe and you can get good results that would not be possible otherwise.
- Which, however, still a bit annoying, is when I the Nokia Lumia positioned for example in the bracket, then press the bracket on the volume, so that the mobile phone will be available at silently. However, when the mobile phone is positioned somewhat sideways, there are no problems.
- The adjustment of the angle is also very positive, because one has to make good photos even more possibilities.
- The first start-up is also very easy, because the coupling of the mobile phones with the Selfie rod is possible in very short time.
Negative points:
- It would be nice if the Selfie rod could be used the same for all types of mobile phones, without seeing an app would load down or that the Windows Phones would be harnessed. Had me very happy before the test, to have finally found the solution for me. I like to do for the test pictures and sometimes my arm is too short. That would be the most ingenious solution to my problem, but the hope has vanished into thin air. :(
Nevertheless, we give the bar full 5 points, since it is for the Iphone really great and a very ingenious invention. Maybe something is indeed working on the rack, so that I could use this with my Windows Phone. I would be very happy about it. Or one of you has already found a way to use the rod with a Nokia Lumia 930?
The test has made us definitely a lot of fun. Thanks again for the free provision of the product to the company ZBT International Trading GmbH. Gladly again. The TaoTronics Bluetooth Selfie bar: http: //amzn.to/1aniDrh
