Taotronics products are generally well presented and good quality, this one is no exception to the rule. In general, I had a doubt about the usefulness of this boom and its functionality because I always doubt with bluetooth. Big satisfaction with this product, it is very easy to use. simply unwrap it, press the button for 3s, and snap the Bluetooth on the phone, after 3s the pole is recognized and functional. The button serves as the trigger for the camera with instant responsiveness. So we have fun with my son and it's true that the boom can "extend" enough arm to make beautiful pictures. One possible use of this boom for professionals is to take pictures or movies inaccessible corners directly with the smartphone. The boom in the solid air, can be a bit difficult to open and close but ultimately it is better that a rod that closes constantly.
