PolarPro Yukon Extension Pole / Grip for GoPro Hero5

By far MY favorite Camera accessory. The look and feel on this hand grip is absolutely awesome! It definitely is premium product. I can tell alt of thought and engineering went into the design of this grip. So many features packed into one compact hand grip. The GoPro adapter and Phone mount that comes with this are a huge bonus! I've never seen a phone mount like the one included with this one, It even collapses and folds flat so that its is compact and easy to store away! Amazing. Everything about this device screams COMPACT. The hand Grip easily fits into my pocket and can be store seamlessly into my backpack. I love the way the handle splits into three pieces and turns into a quick mini tripod. I find it to be extremely convenient and very stable. The mono-pod feature is pure genius. Very easy to transform back and forth as needed. Perfect build quality.I would definitely recommend this to ANY daily vlogger or proffesional selfie taker LOL. This will probably take the place of all of my other many accessories because this thing REALLY DOES IT ALL. Now that I have the PolarPro Trippler, I don't think I will ever have to invest in another tripod or mono-pod ever again.

The pro grip can't be used without an official GoPro remote. I had one, just FYI.The handle is well built. When PolarPro says 'can store two batteries', they mean it can store 2 official GoPro batteries; third party batteries will get stuck if they don't have rounded corners on the side without the battery contacts.The StrapMount is okay. Its a little wide, which can mean it bumps into your arm if you raise it. If you tighten it too much, it warps the front plate and makes it difficult/impossible to remove the mount (either the slim or handle). But you need to crank it down to keep it from shifting too much. The design could benefit from from 'saw teeth' to help grip the fabric placed inside. The design could also benefit from some self-retaining screws, or at least recess the brass threads a little deeper into the back plate. As it stands now, it is really easy to drop the screws when removing them. Good concept overall, but the design needs a little tweaking.

Does its job, well built, just wish it had stronger legs. I was looking to use this for my slr (t6i with an H4N mounted on top). My only negative on this product is the lever that tightens the swivel ball has to be over tightened to work. For the quality and build off this 4-in-one, the price should really be $20.Totally recommend for vloggers who film with their phones.

The concept is amazing, but the smaller design features make it hard to use.The ProGrip + Remote holder:- The Battery Compartment is slightly under-sized and slightly tapered, and the first battery to go in CANNOT be a square-cornered non-GoPro-branded battery. The OEM ones get stuck in there too.- The instantly-removable mini-stick that is the remote holder is AMAZING. I LOVE it, and I use it ALL THE TIME when I have the grip mounted on anything.- The seal isn't a really good design. Imagine the Compartment's seal as an edge going perpendicularly into a rubber washer. The quality of the seal doesn't improve when the water pressure around it increases like with a gasket being crushed between two corners. Additionally it makes the design less tolerant of dirt on that rubber piece. Mine did stay dry down to the advertised 99 feet (but only just barely) with a perfectly clean and solid seal until after probably 15 dives with it when I heard a "pffft" sound and found 2 fully wet and thoroughly ruined batteries when I was back on the boat and went to swap batteries in the camera.The strap mount:- There are TWO things keeping the ProGrip locked to the StrapMount: the obvious lever, and small ramps in the slot that catch a lip on the mount.- Once you loosen the lever, you need to both hold the lever on the StrapMount open and hold the StrapMount steady to rock the ProGrip down to actually be able to remove it, making it clumsy and difficult to remove with one hand.- Locking the ProGrip into the StrapMount requires holding the lever open with one hand during the entire operation, so unless you both have long fingers and really think through the location and orientation of the StrapMount (which might be different from the best camera angle!), it's impossible to return the ProGrip to the StrapMount with one hand.- The brass threaded inserts are pretty. They will also instantly oxidize (get green and very rough) the minute they hit salt water.- The lever also gets a little rough after a dive or 2, I suspect the pivot or spring rusted but haven't disassembled it yet to find out.NOT the best for SCUBA:- The StrapMount is too narrow to put on the shoulder-strap of many BCDs.- Placing it on your shoulder will require extensions to bring the camera farther away from your head. Otherwise, your head will be in the way, your inflator or backup-regulator hose will dangle in the way, and you will constantly flood your camera's shot with bubbles from your regulator.- If you want to use it for that, there are mounts designed specifically for putting on the shoulder strap of a BCD.

A great specialty item that works well. I attached the base to the straps of my kayak life jacket and it functions like the "chesty" but gives me the option to remove the camera with a handle that floats when I need those special shots. It's also has great waterproof storage for 2-3 extra batteries...

Opened up the box and extended the 3 sections of the tube and they all pulled apart . Tried super glueing the little restriction collars back inside the tubes but no luck. Cheap and bad design. Unusable now.
