My First Monopod + Selfie Stick - Manfrotto Compact Xtreme 2-in-1 Monopod Selfie Stick

Write in front

The first time I applied for light flasks, I thought I had written a box of beakers. I was sure to increase the odds, but in the end I didn't find out that I later found out that I didn't have sesame credit... your classmates! (Knock on the blackboard!) To apply for light surveys, remember to tie credit!

After a period of time, seeing the light of the public test and the new, actually have a tall Manfrotto Compact Xtreme monopod self-timer rod, and quickly apply. The reason for the application is quite simple. As a traveler's sister-in-law, he hopes to not only leave the beauty he sees on the road in the photo, but also hopes to make his trip beautiful. however! Without a boyfriend, I carry a micro-lens mobile phone purse kettle umbrella backpack has been too heavy no longer tripped back on the tripod, and take the phone self-timer can not stand magnified to see the details of the camera selfie only face no view! What a sad story! Perhaps Xiao Bian also understands the distress of a single dog, but he actually applied for a second time to actually measure it.

Although it was a measure of lightness, I still prepared photographs and words very seriously. Let me focus on the portability of the monopod selfie stick, the feasibility of shooting and the feasibility of self-portraits.

1.0 Unpacking

After confirmation of the light public test, I received the pardon from the mother a few days later, but this time there was no box.

Open is a tightly packed bubble paper.

Take a look and see, Manfrotto's packaging is also very simple (after all, price 299 yuan?) ... ... There is a single monopod, and two joints.

The back introduces three different connection methods. There is no Chinese, and the only Chinese is on the security label.

You can easily tear the package along the dotted line.

The instructions are affixed to the package and are not so easily fall out.

Various language notes, but no Chinese. Fortunately, there are Chinese warranty terms, be sure to take a closer look!

The installation diagram is quite simple and introduces four ways to connect and unfold the monopod.

The selfie stick is long and looks strong, with the longest (135cm) shortest (44cm) length and weight bearing (1kg) presentation.

Weighing a little lighter than the introduction

The pit pattern above the rubber anti-slip handle is the logo of the Manfrotto and is comfortable to grip.

Both ends of the selfie stick have screw holes, one of which is concealed in the rubber seat under the handle (the Manfrotto logo). After finding the screw, screw it onto the camera or camcorder.

The top three buckles can be extended up to 135cm long by opening the strap.

If you have GoPro motion camera, you need to use GoPro adapter, unfortunately not, so this part is ignored.

The other accessory is a ball head. After connecting to it, you can easily fix the camera at different angles.

2.0 take a photo

Take the self-timer out and shoot for two days, during the day and night respectively, using the Panasonic GX-1 produced in 12 years, with 20 biscuits head, full P-file map.

On weekends, I go out to the beach to take photos. The weather is not good. I feel like the rain is rising and falling. The photos I take are just as general.

When there is no guardrail at the beach for support, the monopod can be placed on the floor for the longest support. The elasticity of the rubber feet is good and can help to swing the monopod smoothly.

The place where there is a guardrail can also facilitate the camera to change the angle of the photo.

When shooting night scenes, like the following supports are not everywhere...

Using the support of the self-timer lever can reduce the impact of the jitter on the imaging. Every other day, another ramen shop across the road.

There are street lights


3.0 from the film

For the single girl, the importance of the selfie stick is not much to say. Others may be proud to say that I don’t have to worry about having men/girlfriends take pictures, but are you sure that they can really make you beautiful? Asking oneself is better than seeking oneself, one's own angle is the best to affirm oneself to be clearest, so self-timer pole is very important!

For me, when the mobile phone pixel is clear, the cell phone pixel is no longer as clear as the camera's self-timer lever, which is also less than the effect of the camera. (Of course, the slight slag on the front of the 6S camera is also a non-negligible consideration factor), so I even connected the camera selfie stick. Did not buy. When traveling, in addition to the phone self-timer, I will also take a few shots with the camera, the effect is not satisfactory, mainly short-handed, most of the photos taken out are heads, like the following! Also out of focus

With Manfrotto's self-timer function, you can open the door to a new world for friends who are too tripod-sized to take selfies. Although the self-timer rod opens 1.35 meters in total length, it may be troublesome for other passersby to open such a long time, and it is very difficult to obtain stability. Therefore, I have only opened one and a half times in four full length sessions.

The key is! The area of ​​scenery on the photo is finally bigger than people, thanksgiving! (Don’t say it to me because I was originally a big man. I don’t want to listen to this reason.)

It is recommended to cooperate with a flip-screen micro-single, otherwise it is easy to lose focus (really want to change the camera ah ah ah ah ah ah ah).

Of course, a friend who likes to take a photo of the whole body still needs the help of a tripod or a friend or an enthusiastic passerby.

4.0 Summary

Due to camera limitations and time constraints, I did not fully discover the full capabilities of the Manfrotto Compact Xtreme monopod selfie stick. Here are some of the advantages I have summarized after a week of use and where improvements need to be made:

advantage:

The material is solid and workmanship is good, both ends have interfaces to facilitate the connection of the camera.

Hand strap and non-slip handles all kinds of intimate! Prevent hand rubble from throwing the camera out of the sky.


Ball head for easy control of shooting angle.

Although I do not have a GoPro device, but it is compatible with multiple systems, it is very convenient for friends who have multiple devices.

.

Where you can improve:

The ball head has some troubles in controlling the shooting angle of the camera. After all, the camera's weight is more than 500 grams. If it is not tightened, it is easy to swing when it is self-timed. When it is too tight, it needs some effort when it is released (first Tightening too tight and exhausted the strength of the sucker almost thought that the screw could not be opened).

If the packaging and instructions can be introduced in more Chinese may be more user-friendly.


The above ~ again thanked my mom for giving me a chance to test
