I bought this product, because a friend had one, I cracked, then dark to buy it! The one I got is really good, it is about 1 meter and a little more compared to other standard poles: one can max out with another pole, but have a 2 meters remains to be seen. Personally I think about it a little! The remote control is good, quickly connects to the iPhone not fault that side. Seller tuned and made all to satisfy the customer. An address to remember.
