Doesn't work well at all
on September 20, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
The concept of this is great, but it can't even hold up the weight of the GoPro it's designed to hold, so it's worthless. When using it as a tripod, the extension isn't strong enough to stay up, so it collapses in on itself and is only usable at it's lowest position, or if you wrap the expansion joints in tape to keep them in an extended position.
When it is "forced" to stay extended by being taped in place, it's very unstable. Using any attachment to the side of a GoPro, like a lightweight LED attached to the side of a Media Mount, will make it extremely easy to tip over.
Of all the GoPro accessories, mounts, and attachments I've used over the years, this is the only one I've ever been completely disappointed in.

Too light and barely fits Hero 8 Black
on July 28, 2020

The design is good, but the plastic is a little too light for the use. Camera seems too heavy and tends to wobble a bit. In addition, with the Hero 8 Black, the mounts on the Shorty were too small. I had to apply much unneeded force to get the camera in place, and securing it was another story. Due to the size issue, the threads didn't line up perfectly so I spent a solid 15 minutes fiddling with it until it finally decided to work.
TLDR; Mounting points need to be fixed for size differences between the camera's mounts and the Shorty's, and the plastic is too light for its use.

Great idea until things started to slide

Bought this because it was light for hiking and would give me a mount for my GoPros, but..... after not many uses the top section now slides down under the weight of the camera with no Twist and lock or other means of stopping it other than my improvised rubber band.

Wouldn't recommend

Mounting doesn't fit so you have to force the camera into it. Also, the telescope part sometimes closes from the weight of the camera

Great until it fails to support itself

Great little tripod but very quickly loses its friction to support a gopro when fully extended. The dmtripod then slides back down from its highest position.
