![]() ![]() The inside of the elastic band has a tacky material to better grip your helmet or head. It can be worn over a helmet or directly on your head. It is adjustable in two places, enough to fit any size head. It works with the standard housing (with standard or skeleton door) or the frame mount. The Head Strap Belt Mount is extremely comfortable. The Smatree Head Strap Belt Mount + Chest Belt Strap Harness Mount Combo is an amazing value for a GoPro as it includes the Head Strap Belt Mount, Chest Belt Strap Harness Mount, Aluminum Thumbscrew and J-Hook for less than the price of one GoPro Head Strap. Smatree mounts makes it easy to capture immersive video and photos from your chest POV Overall this is an excellent pole and I can't wait to take it to Disney World this December. I may see if they sell the wrenches separately and pick up a few. It tightens well but is almost impossible to loosen with your fingers. One hint, make sure and have the wrench handy if you're using the Smatree metal screw. I found that the wrench works well to tighten the camera to the aluminum mount. A wrench is also included that fits the Smatree style screw and the tradional plastic Gopo screw. ![]() The pole also comes with a blue metal Gopro style screw and a plastic Gopro style screw. The camera (Hero only) connects to the pole with an aluminum Gopro style mount. When the pole is fully extended there is no flex in the pole and has a very good feel. Fully compressed it makes a nice "Selfie" pole that's strong and easy to maneuver. The mechanism locks tight with no slippage. The pole has two extensions that easily lock and unlock with a quarter of a turn. It's not hard rubber, it's a nice comfortable foam. The SmaPole S1 has a very nice foam handle. I am a fan of their products and have never been disappointed. This is another excellent product from Smatree. This is another excellent product from Smatree I received this as a complimentary review product with the aim of hopefully elucidating features and drawbacks that may help you ultimately decide what fits your needs and budget best. The interior does retain a bit of water, but a quick wash down with fresh water and a drip-dry, it's fine. well, nothing that a couple cheap floatation water wings around the pole can't change. If you put on a 1/4" screw mount adaptor, you can even use it for other cameras/camcorders, and this holds up just as firm even with the usually heavier/off-balance weight distribution of traditionally designed camcorders.Īs for floating it in the water. The grip is comfortable, and the two extender sections stable. Not so here! The tightening action is spot on at every point. ![]() One of the biggest complaints of various poles is the camera joint usually being of sub-par quality, either not locking down fully or just being wibbly-wobbly altogether. I have actually looked at a bunch of other monopod poles, especially the 1, 2 star reviews, and I must say Smatree's SmaPole avoids all those construction issues. Tight Locking Action, Using a 1/4" Screw Adaptor for Other Cameras, and Water Wings Make a Floating Pole ![]()
