Customer Review

Video at Amazon.com 2013 View was "Selfie" the word of the year in England, now the name in connection with a mobile camera phone everyday is here to stay and also enshrined in Germany in the dictionary. Missing necessarily Selfie-rod.

The product name I find misleading, because actually the extension stick a classic tripod. Even a universal screw is installed, so in theory can also find the camera even a place - it is difficult but with the trigger. A stand-alone mount for smartphones is, two completely variable expansion joints allow enough room for all popular models. The gimmick of the stand is built-up Bluetooth technology, coupled with the appropriate smart phones and then can take pictures by pressing a button on the bar. The shutter button simulates a simple keyboard keystroke, which is synonymous with the Okay for the photo in the camera menu. The technology and the concept is simple, but in this case connected primarily with the fact that not a standalone app must be installed in order to use the full functionality.

If the rod is a "must have"? Certainly not. But it's fun and it promotes, in conjunction with innovative ideas, amazing results to light. Because the impression of pictures from the air, over crowds, or for example safely on the cliff edge of time, is unusual, exciting and sometimes breathtaking.

The significance of the rod corresponds to the price segment. The extension and retraction designed to possibly somewhat bulky, it works in reverse not inadvertently constructing a. The cell phone sitting - important - safe from loss in the plastic holder, two separate pivot bearings allow the alignment to left / right and up / down. Loading via (mini) USB, the appropriate cable is included.

Room for improvement? Yes, because the execution in general is truly not suitable for your pocket. A slightly more compact version would be desirable.

Conclusion:. At a time when at last take the smartphone flagships concerning the industry momentum to its photo quality of a useful additional features for the ambitious "Selfie" first.
