GoPro AGXTS-001 El Grande 97cm Extension Pole for Camera (Official Accessory), Black

Product Information

Choose the best GoPro pole for your needs by taking the time to think of these main considerations.

One of the immediate challenges of shooting in water with GoPros is that they don’t float. If you’re in a pool that’s only 6 feet deep, that’s not much of a problem. But if you’re in deeper waters—perhaps surfing, body boarding, kayaking, snorkeling, Scuba diving, or boating—you don’t want your camera ending up on the bottom of the ocean, lake, or river. There are several different ways to make GoPros float, and I’ve covered some of them separately. What I’m focusing on here are GoPro float poles that give you flotation as well as extension. It’s worth noting that there are quite a few GoPro poles that are marketed as waterproof, but that doesn’t mean they float. I’m focusing here on the ones that provide buoyancy. Also, it’s incredibly portable, making it ideal for long-distance trips since you can collapse the entire unit to 7.5”. When in use, you have the option to extend the pole up to 20” away, which is perfect for capturing far-away shots. In situations where a tripod will be ideal, you’ll find this feature inside the handle, and you can extend it as needed. Extending the pole to your desired length is incredibly simple, thanks to its telescoping features. You can extend its length from 17” to 40”, allowing you to capture far away shots. Some GoPro poles can extend several feet, but keep in mind that the longer the pole can extend, the more flimsy it tends to become as it lengthens. Others can extend only a few inches, but are significantly sturdier because the construction tends to be more solid. Top 5 GoPro Poles 1.

Mini poles are ideal for on-the-go filming and are easy to carry, while extension poles offer versatility and reach for different shots. Water poles are essential for underwater filming and can withstand the harsh environments of the sea.Did you find the right GoPro mount for your needs?

You can unscrew the extension tubes entirely and, using an adapter that comes in the box, attach the camera directly to the handle section. That turns it into a handle grip. The method it uses to do this isn’t as convenient as the MicroJib Flow’s method—you’ll need the separate adapter and then have to do something with the float tubes—but it works and adds to the versatility. You then have a choice. By default, it will float just like a regular handle bobber. But if you need neutral buoyancy for Scuba diving, you can fill the compartment with water. Extension poles on the other hand , are best for capturing high angled scenes, group photos, and anything that requires a long arm. Having a sturdy extension pole will give you stable and wide view footage. GoPole specializes in floating extension poles. They have several models, including the long Reach, which extends up to 40 inches, and the Reach Mini, which collapses down to 7 inches and out to 21 inches.

It’s important to note this camera pole is specifically designed for GoPro cameras. You’ll find it’s adaptable to all models ranging from the GoPro HD to the GoPro Hero 7. Its core consists of two transparent tubes, with one sliding into the other. They’re separated by an o-ring to keep the water out. At one end is a handgrip. At the other end is the camera mount point. So it works perfectly well as a standard floaty handle. But the telescoping sections give you extra reach. In other words, you get both in one. Even better, it also works very well as a grip handle out of the water.
