Es muy robusto

I LOVE this thing! I take on every hiking, paddleboarding, random adventure I go on!It has a rubber grip handle which keeps it from slipping out of my hand, and it also has a strap on the bottom so that if you do drop it you're prepared!It extends just far enough that I don't have to worry about it wacking someone in the head.It works well in the water, minus Salt Water, where the cinch screw rusted a little bit. However, that's to be expected!This is a great addition to your go-pro inventory!

It appears fine at first sight. Each section extends and stops as it should although I have not tried it in salt water yet. I do think I received a returned item though. There is no tape holding the flaps closed but I don't know if they put security tape on the outside of the box or not but what gives me suspicion is there is a flap inside the box that is supposed to keep the handle stationary and that flap is ripped on one side. There are also no papers inside with instructions or warranty information.

I needed a strong lightweight and not ridiculously long "selfie stick" for recording my hikes using my phone. This Sandmarc is easy to use. Lightweight. Strong. The handle is very grippy even when my hands are sweaty or wet. I bought a cell phone holder with an action camera mount to go on the end. Works perfectly !

I am satisfied with this product as advertised on the web. Thank you

I used this for snorkeling/diving. The grip was loose after just an hour in the water. I used some of my wife's hairspray (bicycle grip trick), but that didn't hold up well. A few days into my trip, I was climbing up the ladder into the boat, when the camera briefly got caught on the boat as I held the grip, and the next thing I knew, I had an empty grip in my hand, and my camera and pole were quickly sinking 70 feet to the bottom. Thankfully, one of the dive crew staff was able to retrieve it, but with such a known issue, the manufacturer doesn't deserve more than 3 stars for this rig for not having addressed the failing grip glue issue yet. Such a simple fix that it's irresponsible at this point.The other challenge, which I figured out, is that the tightening rings on this pole have a slight 2-step phase to them. To tighten, or loosen, you have to get past one spot where it's more difficult. I didn't realize this the first time, and thought it was jammed, so I was sliding the pole up and down when it was locked. Just crank the rings a bit more than you think you would need to, and it will loosen right up. And to the same when tightening it.

In spite of the reviews about the handle coming off I decided to order this Sandmarc pole. I figured I could always re-glue it myself if needed.After receiving this I tried to twist the handle off but it would not budge. I decided to soak it in water overnight to see if that would loosen the handle. After soaking for 24 hours the handle is still firmly in place and no matter how hard I tried, I was unable to twist or slide the rubber grip. I'm very confident that the grip is on there securely but will check it from time to time.As a scuba diver I like the fact that this unit can be disassembled for thorough rinsing and cleaning between dive outings.It's possible that Sandmarc either had a bad manufacturing run earlier or they changed how they adhere the grip. In any case I give this well-built unit 5 stars.

I have bought at least 25 different selfie sticks and not one have come close to comparison with this one. The grip is great, the locks do not lock up where you can't retract it. (Even after getting in water) I am beyond impressed with this.
