Benefits:
+ The rod is easy and can be very small slide together
+ The length of 1 meter is to get in my opinion more than adequate to several people and background on a photo.
+ It can be any camera on the threaded bolts and the mounting for the phone is easy to use and keeps very well.
Disadvantages:
- Can be seen but the most competitive price in the processing, if you do not top the mobile phone tower and only one camera, has the joint that you use the screw fixed side still needs to 2-3mm margin, whatever follows to that a little bit of motion in the game and the holder is not necessarily feels safe. However, this may also be the case only with me.
- If I have attached the camera (or heavier objects as smart phones) on the rod and the rod is nearly extended have to partially balance the camera while holding very well, otherwise tilts the camera side down because the bars do not keep the weight off, but Camera is firmly seated on the thread - this does not fall down.
Thus, the Selfie rod is sufficient for my use, I use them in hikes or short Selfies at my Berlin trip.
For my 15-day Denver / Las Vegas trip in August I think about investing in something higher quality.
Otherwise, I highly recommend this bar but for ease of use and who want to spend too much only recommend !!!
