[@anvoyage89]

So far you are the only one reviewer that showing the bottom of all these sticks, thanks so much for that. Finally, I can see all the tapped holes at the bottom if there are any differences

[@TheTechPacker]

Glad I could help!

[@tunsmart1]

Best insta360 stick comparison video on KZbin👍. Thank you so much.😊

[@TheTechPacker]

Wow, thanks!

[@scrollop]

Not really - no review of the action stick

[@B0M0A0K]

I started my Insta360 X3 experience with the standard Insta360 selfie stick. It was so badly made that it fell apart while I was using it within a month. Now, I don't use any Insta360 selfie sticks but one from Ulanzi instead. Much better build quality. Thanks for the video, especially the information on what you can and cannot take on a plane.

[@user-qh1tr8gr7z]

This video deserves much more views

[@TheTechPacker]

Thank you. I think so too :)

[@marizuokereke7347]

I've got a brilliant Insta360 selfie stick. It's about 105cm but it also has tripod feet built into the handle! This makes it so useful. You can just stick it down in a space and use it as a tripod.

[@OliverJanotta]

I have the same. I like it but it has some weight und could be a bit smaller.

[@RohitSingh-vr8bz]

[@pablomaresca]

What an amazing and useful review. Full of great information and tips. Really thank you. Subscribed.

[@TheTechPacker]

[@romanmenyhart]

Excellent review and comparison - thanks!

[@TheTechPacker]

Glad it was helpful!

[@swizzlebeatstv]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. 😃👍🏾

[@TheTechPacker]

Cheers - thanks!

[@schong6860]

Hi, just checking if I’m not using frequently, do I need to eject and remove the battery from the camera for storage and leave it in the dry box??

[@BrianGreenstone]

So, the carbon fiber one weighs *more* than the aluminum one?

[@countingdays7974]

Thank you for making this video

[@TheTechPacker]

No problem 😊

[@Parmeet098]

Bahut Vadiya Video Bhaji. Gud luck. 👍Subscribed.

[@TheTechPacker]

Thanks!

[@Thetravelphotocoach]

Just what I was looking for before I made a purchase and you confirmed what I thought, the smaller one for convenience and the longest one for the fake drone shots

[@TheTechPacker]

Great - glad it helped!

[@Dacoco2000]

Thanks for the review. What about the selfie stick included in the bullet time bundle. It seems to be the standard invisible stick at first but it weights 128g and is labeled with "designed for bullet time".

[@TheTechPacker]

Hi there - I’m really not sure about that one. I bought the original bullet time bundle back when I bought my ONE X, but I’m not sure if that’s the same one these days. The mechanism for folding is quite different to later ones.

[@sophiac9176]

Really helped me in deciding which one to buy

[@TheTechPacker]

Great!

[@trulgn]

Which 1 u picked

[@funkyjohnhuie]

Great review! I am leaning towards the short and standard one. For my Go3. Do you know of any significant width difference between the standard and the stick with the tripod?

[@TheTechPacker]

Hi -and thank you - Not really a major difference between the two, but the shorter one is a little slimmer if you think about how the section slot together, russian doll style.

[@funkyjohnhuie]

@@TheTechPacker good point. Thanks! I already carry a gorilla pod style tripod, so I felt like maybe the tripod on a selfie stick might make things redundant.

[@user-go7js2xv4t]

Thank you

[@ronenmeir4343]

Buyer be aware of this week 114cm Invisible Selfie Stick, it broke after i connected to my harness, no help from customer service!!

[@TheTechPacker]

Sorry to hear about your problem with yours

[@ramonwongyau3114]

Well…in my case the bottom thread didn’t work and they sent me another one.

[@krasw]

Very nice review, thx

[@TheTechPacker]

Cheers!

[@lifeofasocialbutterfly]

Thanks for sharing - I'm debating getting the 114cm invisible selfie stick for my Insta 360 Ace Pro, but was debating getting the Atumtek version. The Atumtek version states for the Ace or Ace Pro you can only edit out the stick (to make invisible post editing) and I wondered if that was the same for the Insta 360 version? Couldn't find info about this on the Insta 360 website and wondered if you knew? Obviously, if both require editing out post editing I'll go for cheaper Atumtek version.

[@TheTechPacker]

Hi there - as far as I understand it, both require post editing to remove

[@lifeofasocialbutterfly]

Thanks so much - I actually bought the 114cm 360 one using your link as I didn’t see them on the 360 Amazon store. So much lighter than the multi mount. Though, I want one with legs so not sure if I should’ve bought the 2in1 now. Can you get legs for them?

[@nepalchandramula1953]

Thank you for Sharing

[@TheTechPacker]

I'm glad you found the video helpful!

[@brighterhomesrealtyllc5778]

Thanks for the comparison. Perhaps you can go over wireless Bluetooth options.

[@TheTechPacker]

cheers - can you tell me more about what you mean?

[@brighterhomesrealtyllc5778]

I would like to see some options for external audio.

[@quihot9243]

how to compare with chepaer alternatif selfie stick 3 meter another brand ? do you recommend to buy the original insta360 3 meter ? or its okay another alternative ?

[@TheTechPacker]

I don't know. I have the Insta360, and an older 3m Telesin stick - but I don't use the Telesin any more - it started to droop.

[@eilynrodriguez5824]

One question about type of invisible selfie; which is better to buy one or 2?; 1. Action Invisible or 2. 114cm Invisible?

[@TheTechPacker]

Really does depend on what you’re going to use it for. I don’t have the Action carbon fibre one. I’ve always found the 114cm version just fine.

[@Venkateshkaruppanan]

Which one is better for a motorcycle. Thanks

[@TheTechPacker]

I’m not a motorcyclist really. Just a 50cc scooter. I’d probably look at the action selfie stick but pay more attention to stability and resilience of how it was attached to motorbike.

[@Axel-sb5vu]

There is a strap wrist with the invisible stick of 114 cm ? And the others ?

[@TheTechPacker]

Sorry - unsure now as I don't have original packing. You'll have to check contents listing of retail packages.

[@paolomiguel2284]

Can I use insta360 Go 3 with the invisible stick? Are they compatible?

[@TheTechPacker]

Couple of things: 1. The Selfie sticks don't have a pivotable mount - you'll need to use the pivot mount that came with the GO 3, and 2. The stick will remain visible - making it invisible as a special effect is only available for the Ace Pro / Ace for now

[@Nick-gz1wc]

What is better for snowboarding ?

[@TheTechPacker]

Not a snowboarder - tried it, but I prefer skiing :) But if I were you, I’d definitely consider the action selfie stick - though I haven’t had a chance to try it myself yet

[@deenclassic]

Can the longest selfie stick be used under water in the pool? Any answer would be appreciated.

[@TheTechPacker]

Haven't tried it - but maybe the action stick because it is carbon fibre? Not sure though

[@kianlim681]

Any of these sticks compatible with insta360 flow?

[@TheTechPacker]

Yes - but my sense it that it would be awkward

[@contidozack]

Can you do the Telesin G3 3m vs the Insta360 3M?

[@TheTechPacker]

Sorry. Don’t have that telesin stick.

[@stealtherider3008]

Good video!

[@TheTechPacker]

Thanks!

[@SUR-RONTV-up1xt]

Is this selfie stick stong enough motorcycle dirtbike

[@TheTechPacker]

Haven't tried, so couldn't tell you for certain

[@mrjagriff]

It seems to me there’s confusion with the model names as a lot of people buy one of these for their insta go 3 !!! Which is a different model and doesn’t hide the selfie stick , as it’s not the 360 model

[@TheTechPacker]

The Ace Pro can hide the selfie stick via software. Check the Insta360 site for more details www.insta360.com/support/supportdetail/video/qBWRG2otiV?article_id=954&title=AI%20Selfie%20Stick%20Eraser

[@DaveDG]

Which selfie stick should I choose for underwater shots? 🙂

[@TheTechPacker]

I’m no expert on underwater - but maybe look at the action stick? Check the specs for that

[@jannarkiewicz633]

I live in Manila. I can buy the 3m in U.S. for $100 and then pay $10 in tax. That means I have to lug the 3m selfie pole back in luggage. Amazon will send me (free shipping on orders over $50) the 3m in Manila. I don't pay the $10 in California sales tax. Pretty cool!!!! A package sent 8000 miles is cheaper than a locally sent package. Don't buy things over $200 and send them to Manila then you get hit with all kinds of customs fees.

[@TheTechPacker]

Who would've thought that shipping something 8000 miles away could be cheaper than buying it locally? The world works in mysterious ways! And not necessarily climate friendly ones, unfortunately. The.modern world, eh?

[@JakeMerkaahm4or8]

does these invisible selfie stick work with the new 'insta360 GO3s'?

[@TheTechPacker]

Not as a software effect - only for Ace and Ace Pro

[@JakeMerkaahm4or8]

@@TheTechPacker okay thanks for letting me know this. I'l avoid the invisible sticks then :)

[@TheTechPacker]

I use the mini 2-in-1 tripod for that go 3/3S - you can find on insta360 website accessories section.

[@skaycgoldenridge]

Great review. I have a question. Is there an invisible selfie stick that will mount a DSLR camera to it? I would like to use an extended selfie stick. If so, can you direct me. Thank you in advance for your reply.

[@TheTechPacker]

Thanks! First, it won't be invisible unless you have a software solution to erase it, like for the Ace Pro on the Insta360 app. Second, I don't really use any larger cameras these days, so can't really advise on anything to carry a heavier load than action camera, or slightly heavier.

[@skaycgoldenridge]

@@TheTechPackerThank you for your reply.

[@schong6860]

Invisible selfie stick does not work for Go3 right??

[@TheTechPacker]

That's right

[@klausadrift7568]

Buyers beware! The Power Selfie Stick presently available in the insta360 accessory store and also on Amazon does not have the 1/4 inch female thread at the bottom anymore (I know it because I had ordered one). That reduces the stick's versatility by 50% in my opinion, since I also wanted to use it for extended timelapses and making use of the additional power supply. Incomprehensible why some idiot in insta360 suddenly decided to remove the thread. Called customer support to consider offering an external adapter, but all I got was a lame robot answer. I now managed to build my own adapter. Well, screw you insta guys (pun intended).

[@TheTechPacker]

Interesting and unhelpful development. No idea why they would do that unless it was proving unreliable and exposing the battery and other risks?

[@klausadrift7568]

​@@TheTechPacker If it would have exposed the battery or had made the connection unreliable, then a simple remedy would have been to reinforce the bottom. Instead those morons simply went the easy way and took the thread off altogether. There are hundreds of other selfie sticks available with a 1/4 inch thread at the bottom and I own a bunch of them. I hope insta360 is not going the way HERO did by ignoring customer complaints and listening to helpful suggestions.

[@sandromiori2008]

Yes, very unfortunate! I had the first version with the thread but it started to wobble very soon, I got a refund.

[@fackoesk8]

Missing the best one for me. Insta stick with build in tripod.

[@TheTechPacker]

Don't believe that was out at the time of making my video :) I also would be careful using it with a 360 camera until I tested it. Would have to be bottom heavy to be stable.

[@fackoesk8]

Have it more then 6 months :)

[@TheTechPacker]

Fair enough

[@gyurxi551]

There is also a 114 cm Insta selfie stick available. Or maybe I missed a part from your video. :)
