Having been now given a TaoTronics Selfie stick, I was in the meantime disabused.
Purpose:
Over the last two weeks I could also make using the Selfie sticks beautiful snapshots from different perspectives at a two-day city tour in addition to the usual shots of various attractions.
The really good news is that
One need not always appeal any passersby to take pictures and also has plenty of time to yourself the best viewing angle for a snapshot on which one is even immortalized with a great background choose.
Immediately afterwards followed by a snowshoe tour in the Upper Bavarian mountains.
Again, I could do with my smartphone and Selfie stick by my wife and me very nice shared photos with mountains in bright morning sun and individual mountain huts in the background. Without Selfie stick such recordings would have been impossible because we were mostly alone and the reach of an arm for a sufficient image detail often is definitely too short.
Last but not least, I could well imagine that you simply also in various large-scale events with the Selfie stick and thus of increased smartphone heading out to photograph the essentials without many annoying background heads of people.
Material / Technical details:
The stick with black rubber grip and a pull-out total length of about 80 cm (grooved telescopic rod) makes a quite robust impression ..
In handle a battery is installed, which can be loaded easily into any USB port (PC, notebook, mobile phone). An LED indicates when charging is completed.
For endurance of the batteries I can currently say that these problems by holding several days with numerous snapshots.
Not to be forgotten is also the relatively low weight of about 150 grams and extremely compact dimensions, because the smart phone holder can be folded in addition on the rod with inserted telescopic pole.
The Smartphone Holder Plastic is large enough to any commercially available mobile phone (even the iPhone 6, etc.) and take the rubber retaining clip (tauter spring mechanism) securely hold. With a knurled addition, the angle can be adjusted individually for detecting the optimal image area.
Function:
The coupling with the cell phone (via Bluetooth) takes place within a few seconds and is lt. Supplied operating manual easily and carry out without any technical knowledge.
And now the kicker:
In contrast, as in many Selfie sticks no separate remote control is required for the operation. To trigger the camera using Bluetooth is simply pressed on a very well-placed on the handle button.
If the Selfie stick is not used, the Bluetooth control switches within a few minutes in a sleep mode.
Conclusion:
The TaoTronics TT-SH10 receives from me a full purchase recommendation.
The price of just 20 Euro I find justified as lt. Experience slightly cheaper models are available in the market, but they must be available in terms of functionality behind.
