GoPro Extension Pole - Carbon Fibre

The pole extends up to 9 feet (2.7 meters).

The pole collapses down to 15.5 inches (39 centimeters).

The product description states it is waterproof, suggesting it can handle wet conditions. However, submersion details beyond splash resistance are not specified. It is best suited for use near water or in light rain.

The pole includes a 1/4-20 mount, which is a standard camera thread size, making it compatible with many other cameras besides GoPro. However, optimal performance and the "invisible pole" effect are typically achieved with GoPro's own 360 cameras.

The friction lock allows you to extend and collapse the pole sections by simply pulling or pushing them. It holds the sections firmly in place at your desired length without requiring you to twist or screw them.

The package includes the 9ft (2.7m) Carbon Fiber Extension Pole, a Mounting Finger Adapter, a Thumb Screw, and a Wrist Lanyard.

Ensure the pole is clean and free of sand or debris. Gently twist and pull sections. If resistance persists, check for any internal obstructions.

Maintain a firm grip and use steady movements. For the steadiest shots, consider not extending the pole to its absolute maximum length. Practice smooth panning and tilting.

Ensure the thumb screw is tightened properly. For 360 cameras, confirm the 1/4-20 thread is securely engaged.

Contact GoPro support for a replacement. Avoid excessive force on the lanyard during use.
