Those looking for a safe hold for his precious smartphone is well served with Rollei 21545 Selfie Stick! The bracket "clawing" formally in the smartphone and as you have to screw it manually this ferrule, is a feel good give in relation to the fixation.
The stick makes a high quality impression, however, which is reflected also in weight. The connection to the smartphone (iPhone) was set up quickly. The design, together with matt finish I liked very well, you can also choose from a total of 4 shades. Beautiful is also the possibility of using the 1/4 inch tripod thread to mount any camera not too heavy and zweckzuentfremden the stick as monopod. So If it were just about quality and appearance would be the Rollei stick my first choice!
Now I come to the reason why I decided against it.
Quality comes at a price and in this case, weight. When working with mounted smartphone for a while, you can feel fairly quickly the weight of the assembly. The whole thing additionally dependent on the smartphone used.
Furthermore, another crucial point is somewhat unfortunate solved and that the control buttons.
Directly below the trigger sits a switch with which you can choose between 2 operating system profiles (iOS & Android). Unfortunately, all too easy to get the trigger on the switch, with the result that is not a cause longer possible. Another disadvantage is, you have once operated the switch and you want to go back again, re-pairing of sticks is required (at least the record must be tapped in the setting of the phone).
Ultimately, it has been shown to me that the Rollei Stick is not optimal for my purpose. But that, of course, everyone must decide for themselves. With the weight I could possibly still be alive, but the poorly placed switch sucks huge!
