Just as I thought it would be :)

in my opinion, is a telescopic rod for GoPro duty actually should be included with each purchase, because it pretty much is in my view the best support: D. As always, I have before my purchase extensive on the internet and asked friends and then I came to the conclusion that it should be this rod.

First, short delivery. As always proceeded the delivery very fast by my Prime subscription. Ordered today, and directly the next day the telescopic rod has been delivered.

Now to bar himself. I start times with the rubber handle (see pictures). Due to its form the handle really is very comfortable to hold and prevents the telescopic rod simply slides out of a hand. Whether one uses the telescopic rod with or without gloves. Even in the water the telescopic rod is wonderful in the hand and the sea salt will not harm the material (at least so far), ie you can the telescopic rod for diving use (more about this further down).
The extension of the telescopic arm works very simply. It sums up the camera (after they have been mounted as in the picture) and rotate it to the right so that it dissolves the catch. This is very easy, without any effort. Then you pull the telescopic arm to the desired length position, regains the camera and rotate it to the left to lock it (see pictures). You can lock securely and firmly to Telekoparm at any length. Works really simple and holds bombproof in any situation.

The photos I've attached, are the current state, ie, the bar has been through a lot, including several small dives in the sea; Snow and rainy days; Skiing etc .. But it looks in my opinion very good and still works perfectly as the first day.
One must not forget that the GoPro Action Camera is a normal and it's the accessories worn with time, a slow speed at the other when the. All in all, I'm with the rod more than satisfied and would buy them immediately.

I hope I could help you a little, and ye turn safer are in your decision. In case of questions I always liked as was available :)
