OVERVIEW:
This the lightweight plastic version of the Ulanzi selfie stick (love the idea and design) but we don't use this for mounting a phone or camera, but instead for mounting a smaller shotgun microphone.

MAIN POINTS:
PART 1: IS IT PORTABLE?
PART 2: IS IT AFFORDABLE?
PART 3: IS IT COMMON?
PART 4: HOW’S THE QUALITY?
PART 5: IS IT EASY TO USE?
PART 6: NEEDS ADD-ONS?
PART 7: WHERE DO I BUY?

PART 1: IS IT PORTABLE?
Yes, it's fairly portable, and fits well in the side pocket of the backpack we use.

PART 2: IS IT AFFORDABLE?
Yes, it's affordable.

PART 3: IS IT COMMON?
It's common on Amazon, and there are heavier, metal versions that we use for small LED lights, but this one isn't strong enough for a light (or any camera) but works well for a small shotgun microphone.

PART 4: HOW’S THE QUALITY?
The quality is good enough to mount smaller items, but not for larger, heavier items (such as a camera).

PART 5: IS IT EASY TO USE?
Yes, it's easy to use, and also fast to set up, and tear down.

PART 6: NEEDS ADD-ONS?
Yes, when using it to mount a shotgun mic, it works well to add a Movo SMM2 shock mount to it.

PART 7: WHERE DO I BUY?
I bought this on Amazon.

RECOMMENDATION:
This works really well as either a short boom pole (to boom from overhead) or as a way to place the mic below the person speaking.

These reviews are just my opinion and are focused on my Q.P.A.C.E. packing method, so they're not comprehensive. I wrote these mostly to help me remember what items worked for my KIT PLANS (and which didn't). If I said anything negative I apologize, as these products still may work well for you in your situation, but they were not Q.P.A.C.E (Quality, Portable, Affordable, Common, Easy-to-Use) enough for my budget filmmaking KIT PLANS.
