GoPro AGXTS-001 El Grande 97cm Extension Pole for Camera (Official Accessory), Black

Product Information

The second is that you can screw off the cap of the handle to expose the interior of the handle. You can use it as a water-sealed container for keys or other small items you want to keep dry. The first is that when fully extended, the joint between the sections is firmer with less wobble. In practice, that’s unlikely to make that much difference. But I’ll take a firmer hold over a wobblier one.

GoPole specializes in floating extension poles. They have several models, including the long Reach, which extends up to 40 inches, and the Reach Mini, which collapses down to 7 inches and out to 21 inches. The mount on the Smartee SmaPole features a built-in nut, eliminating the issue of losing the nut that keeps the camera securely on the pole. It’s also compatible for smartphones, so you can use the pole for your mobile device in place of your GoPro. Some poles can be attached on to bikes, motorcycles, and other vehicles so you can film while on the go. Consider how you plan to useyour GoPro pole to find out whether these versatile options will be beneficial to you or not.Some GoPro poles can extend several feet, but keep in mind that the longer the pole can extend, the more flimsy it tends to become as it lengthens. Others can extend only a few inches, but are significantly sturdier because the construction tends to be more solid. Top 5 GoPro Poles 1. Smatree SmaPole S1 All-aluminum Telescopic Pole Most GoPro poles are very easy to mount on your camera. Most of them come with a standard GoPro mount, making it easy to operate. Some have a ball joint which allows to adjust the camera in different angles. Extension Length.The longer your GoPro pole can extend, the better you’ll be able to capture scenery. Even then, shorter poles can serve a great purpose especially for divers and mountain climbers who want to be able to talk while recording. GoPro poles use a variety of mounting systems, but they most commonly use screws that keep your camera in place. The main difference between mounting systems is the make and material.

Extension poles on the other hand , are best for capturing high angled scenes, group photos, and anything that requires a long arm. Having a sturdy extension pole will give you stable and wide view footage. Traditional bobber handles float, but they only give you about 6 inches of reach, at most. But what if you want some extra reach to get closer or a higher vantage point? Maybe you want to get closer to the underwater wildlife (and no, I’m definitely not condoning bothering the animals), or perhaps you want a higher vantage point for a different perspective than standard eye level. Below you find some of the GoPro Extension Poles that we found be worth reviewing. The GoPro El Grande is still our top one choice for long extension poles due to its sturdiness and its 360° mount. In conclusion, GoPro poles are a valuable accessory for anyone who wants to capture stunning footage and photos from unique perspectives. Mini poles are ideal for on-the-go filming and are easy to carry, while extension poles offer versatility and reach for different shots. Water poles are essential for underwater filming and can withstand the harsh environments of the sea.Versatility.GoPro poles can be very versatile in the way they can be used. For instance, some options can be turned into tripods to keep your camera standing hands-free. This can be particularly important if you want to be able to film in a variety of settings and situations without having to switch between GoPro poles. The third is the 2in1 aspect that the product’s name refers to. You can unscrew the extension tubes entirely and, using an adapter that comes in the box, attach the camera directly to the handle section. That turns it into a handle grip. The method it uses to do this isn’t as convenient as the MicroJib Flow’s method—you’ll need the separate adapter and then have to do something with the float tubes—but it works and adds to the versatility. You then have a choice. By default, it will float just like a regular handle bobber. But if you need neutral buoyancy for Scuba diving, you can fill the compartment with water. As an added benefit, the unit’s overall weight is light, ensuring you can maintain the perfect angle for longer. If you’re someone who enjoys underwater activities, you’ll love the waterproof design of this pole. It’s specifically manufactured to operate effortlessly in and out of the water. Metal mounts are much more durable, but they can give in to rust over time. Plastic ones are cheaper, but may also be flimsy especially when used for high intensity activities. Choose the best GoPro pole for your needs by taking the time to think of these main considerations.

Many buyers have rated the Smartee SmaPole S1 All-Aluminum Alloy Handheld Telescopic Pole as the best GoPro pole for several reasons. This full aluminum alloy design is much sturdier than other materials, making the pole both durable and lightweight. These are generally marketed as GoPro float poles, and the amount of buoyancy they have is geared towards most of the GoPro models 1, but it’s possible to use them with other small waterproof cameras. You will, however, have to test the flotation with other cameras to make sure there’s enough buoyancy—something like the Olympus TG-6 would probably be too heavy, for instance.

New Model: GoPro HERO12 Black

With the models where the extension tubes form the flotation, they need to be fully extended to be able to float heavier GoPro models such as the Fusion or potentially, a GoPro with exterior accessories attached. Extending the sections means that they can hold more air. The poles are designed to float without being extended when standard GoPro models are attached without exterior accessories fitted. One of the more unique shooting options is the grip, which is comfortably designed for ergonomic use. You’ll find it has a unique design that makes the pole easy to hold onto, even in slippery conditions. There are several ways to take selfies with GoPro Pole, the first one is by using the GoPro’s timer for taking a picture. You could also use the burst mode to take selfies while using a GoPro pole. But the best way to capture selfies on your GoPro Pole is with a GoPro Remote.
