At this Selfiestange there is really nothing to complain about - great quality and very easy to use. The rod can be extended to more than 80 cm and thus allows excellent shots even from a point of view, which does not apply to any Selfiestange. Most only go up to around 70cm. The handle of the bar there is also a USB port and can be charged via a USB charging cable. I have used much the bar during my 2-week vacation and I only once had to recharge it. In this respect, the rod is provided with a regular battery. The smartphone will be protected when inserted into the holder by a rubber padding, the phone is attached to the quasi-mounted brackets. Protects the cell phone and the user, as very easy to use. Even the first step before putting the Selfiestange is really simple, since the rod and the smartphone simply need only be connected via Bluetooth. This works as easy as a Bluetooth headset. All in all, a great product!
