Product Information
Full details
This GoPro Carbon Fibre Extension Set is designed for content creators and videographers seeking to expand their creative possibilities with 360 cameras. Its primary benefit is enabling the capture of 'invisible pole' shots by extending the camera beyond the frame, with the caveat that it requires careful handling to maintain stability at greater lengths. The set includes three lightweight, strong carbon fiber rods of varying lengths (10cm, 20cm, 30cm) that can be combined for extended reach, featuring secure 1/4-20 mounts and a non-slip camera platform.

FAQs
What are the lengths of the extension rods included?
The set includes three extension rods with lengths of 10cm (4 inches), 20cm (8 inches), and 30cm (12 inches).
Can I combine the rods for longer extensions?
Yes, the rods are designed to be screwed together end-to-end, allowing you to combine them for greater reach.
What type of mount does this set use?
The extension rods feature a reinforced 1/4"-20 screw, which is a standard tripod mount thread.
Is this set compatible with non-GoPro cameras?
Yes, as long as your camera has a standard 1/4"-20 tripod mount, it will be compatible with the camera platform and extension rods.
How do I clean the carbon fiber rods?
Wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or prolonged water exposure.
What is the main benefit of using these poles for 360 cameras?
They allow you to extend the camera beyond the minimum distance required, making the pole 'disappear' from the stitched 360 footage, enabling cleaner and more immersive shots.
Does the set include a camera?
No, this is an accessory set for mounting cameras. The camera is sold separately.
Troubleshooting
Camera is wobbly or unstable
Ensure all rod connections are fully tightened. Make sure the camera is securely fastened to the camera platform and the platform is firmly attached to the rod. Avoid excessive movement or wind when using at maximum extension.
1/4"-20 screw feels loose
Check for debris in the threads of both the rod and the mount/accessory. If the thread itself is damaged, do not use that component to prevent further damage or insecure mounting.
Camera platform won't stay attached
Ensure the camera platform is screwed in tightly to the end of the extension rod. Check the threads for any damage. The rubber base is for grip; ensure it's clean and not obstructed.
