Insta360 Extended Edition Selfie Stick (3m)
The Insta360 Extended Edition Selfie Stick is a lightweight, telescoping carbon fiber pole designed for action cameras, enabling drone-like aerial shots and third-person perspectives without actual drones. Launched as part of Insta360’s accessory lineup, it’s optimized for 360° cameras to create an “invisible” effect in footage via post-processing in the Insta360 app. With a maximum extension of 3 meters (9.8 feet), it’s ideal for creators capturing dynamic angles in travel, sports, or vlogging—think overhead views of hikes, surf sessions, or group events.
Key Features
Feature Description Extension Range 36cm (14in) collapsed to 3m (9.8ft) fully extended; 8-section telescopic design with quick-set markers for lengths like 1m, 2m, 3m Material & Build Carbon fiber shaft for rigidity and minimal flex; comfortable foam grip; standard 1/4″-20 screw mount Weight 365g (0.8 lbs)—ultra-portable and balanced, even at full extension Invisible Effect Seamlessly disappears in 360° footage with Insta360 X-series cameras (app auto-removal) Compatibility Insta360 X5, X4, X4 Air, X3, ONE X2, ONE RS, Ace Pro 2, Ace Pro, Ace, GO 3S, GO 3, GO Ultra; works with other cameras via 1/4″ mount (e.g., GoPro, but no invisible effect) Extras Removable grip sleeve for comfort; foldable for easy packing; supports wrist straps (sold separately) Safety Notes Not for high-speed activities like biking/motorcycling; overextension can cause wobble in wind How It Works
- Attach Camera: Screw your Insta360 camera onto the 1/4″ mount at the top.
- Extend: Twist-lock sections to desired length—use markers for quick setups (e.g., 1m for selfies, 3m for aerials).
- Shoot: Pair with Insta360 app for live preview; capture 360° footage where the stick vanishes in editing (via AI stitching).
- Store: Collapses to 36cm for backpack carry; add a strap for hands-free hiking. Quick tutorials on Insta360’s YouTube show drone-style shots in under 2 minutes. For best results, position the camera closer to subjects to counter fisheye distortion, then undistort in post.
Pros and Cons (Based on Reviews)
- Pros: Epic reach for #NoDroneNoProblem shots; featherlight for all-day use; sturdy carbon fiber holds cameras steady. Users on Reddit praise it for fjord explorations and motorcycle vlogs, calling it a “game-changer” over shorter sticks.
- Cons: Heavier than 1m sticks when extended; no built-in tripod (pair with separate ones); occasional wobble in wind or if over-tightened.
