Okay, let me just say this stick is LEGIT. I've been using it with my Insta360 X3 and holy cow, the footage looks like I've got a drone following me around!

The 3m extension is no joke - it's like having a magic wand for epic shots. My skiing videos went from 'meh' to 'whoa is that a pro film crew?' Just be warned: when fully extended, it feels like you're waving a lightsaber (minus the cool sound effects).

I was worried about stability but the carbon fiber construction keeps things surprisingly steady. Though fair warning - don't try ninja moves with it fully extended unless you want your camera to become a pendulum!

The grip is chunky but comfortable, though I did add a wrist strap for extra security (highly recommend this mod). And yeah, it's bulky when collapsed, but totally worth the space in my gear bag.

Only gripe? No segment locks. It holds position fine now, but I'm keeping an eye on wear over time. Also maybe don't take this sandboarding - carbon fiber + grit = potential sad times.

Seriously though, if you want next-level perspectives without renting a helicopter, this stick delivers. Just maybe don't swing it at baseballs - your camera will thank you.
