Did not use it with the pole yet. Just bougth one as I decided not to mount the camerea on the mask anymore. Will still use the mask only for the mask. For close-ups (I guess) would be more confortable using the pole. But again, it depends what are you trying to capture. As per my review of the mask, there are pros and cons.

If you like diving and enjoying the view under the water just for plesure the mask is perfect as it is light leaving your hands free . If you catch fish with spheres i'd recomend a base on the sphere . The pole is perfect for selfies under the water or placed hard to reach :)

I wish I could give you a better answer than what I can provide. I have the mask, but not the pole. The mask is great. You set the camera up to see what it is that your looking at at the moment. The bad part is that it is on the top of your face and you can't just look at it whenever you want to see if you remembered to turn it on...Also, with it on your mask, the bubbles from your regulator come right past it when you are vertical. Can get pretty noisy. It isn't an issue when you are horizontal.

The mask allows hands free operation viewing everything you see. The pole allows selfies.

I have used both simultaneously, and I like using the monopod MUCH better! You can get it closer to things, underneath coral ledges, etc. So, I think the monopod is much better, but it does take more of your attention to get the shots you want. On the other hand, the mask mount gets a wider variety of stuff during the dive, but most of it is pretty distant and not as easy to see.

Not sure what you mean by better picture. You can get closer to the subject with the stick thing. I personally find the stick things to be an annoyance and using one generally makes the diver one of the most dangerous creatures in the sea, as they tend to cut off other divers to stick their camera in front of everyone else, and they tend to sling them around like a club. I bought the mask in hopes of being less intrusive and obnoxious, but the hard frame fit poorly on my face and broke after a couple of uses.

Depends on what you are loking for. If you only want to record what you can see without worring to loose the gopro the mask is your option, but if you want to record or take picture of especifics animals or sightings the pole is your option.

The mask by far better than the pole. The only issue I had with the mask is you have to spend more time breaking this one in. I always use a lighter and toothpaste.

I really enjoy using the mask as my camera, whatever I am looking at is what the picture will be, plus the camera does video as well. I have the Nikon AW130 as well, but do not use it as much. The mask is much more convenient to use as it is just one less thing to tag along in the water with me. The photo quality is about the same, but the convenience factor really makes the mask a better choice. I have use this in Hawaii and Bali and loved my experiences.

It works for me. I'm always taking driving videos. I stick the pole with the GoPro attached and its holds up as long as you keep a tight grip on the handle.

With my gopro hero3 I have a wifi remote and smartphone app that I can use but while I was out snowboarding I found it was easier to just set my camera to time lapse. I had it at 1 picture per second so every time I wanted a picture I held the pose or position for a few seconds so I got several pictures and chose the best one later. I found that this was best way to do it because most of my pictures picked up a lot of blue because the time lapse setting holds exposure longer so you have to steady it more. I'd suggest spending 10 more dollars and getting a sturdier arm extender.

I haven't bought it but was wondering the same thing . no matter what you attach a gopro to, always put a " leash " on it. Cord from camera to mount, to object you are mounting to as a safety back up

No. The pole is not a GoPro product, but works well with the user-supplied remote.

I have this and a couple of other people in my diving club have the GoPro. We've all used them both and generally agree that there's not a lot of difference, except for the fact that not all GoPros have a screen on the back. Since the Intova is a bit cheaper than the comparable GoPros, it's a pretty good option.

I recommend this poles.. Poles are great for selfies and is one of their main purposes... this is a great quality pole and this company is great Smatree® SmaPole S1 All-aluminum Alloy Handheld Telescopic Pole (15.8&#x2033;to 40.5&#x2033;) Integrated with Tripod Mount/Nut for GoPro Hero, Hero4 Session, Hero4 Black/Silver, 3+, 3, 2, 1 HD Cameras + Aluminum Thumbscrew/Wrench (Lifetime Warranty)

I checked out the go pro 3+ and the mount is the the same as the two go pro cameras that I have!I have the first edition and the go pro 3 so I think the mask will work with the go pro 3+.

Comparable? It's a pole and the hero 3 is a camera, so no but it's compatible as meant to have the gopro on it. That's what it's for.

The wrist housing is just a mount. I found it to be semi-useful but if you want a better mount, go with the GoPro Pole. More versatile.

Depends on the extension pole or selfie stick you use. I used it with the GoPole The Arm and it works just fine. It has the standard GoPro two bracket with thumb screw attachment.

I think it's better than the GoPro one due to it's attachment methods being velcro (so it can be removed) and it has a hole for a leash or tether so you can really back yourself up!

I think so. I went back and forth on this and the go pro. Intova had the gadgets I wanted. My favorite is that I can mount it on my SUP and one man canoe. Has sound. Or not. Takes pics. Video is good. Easy to edit. Long battery life. Buttons are a little hard to press. And I think the newer one has a remote. Which I I wish mine had.

Yes, nice item, I use it for my GO-PRO and some time with another camera mounted on top..

Hmmm, there is no tripod mount on this one... do you mean the pin? YES, that comes out and can be used on other GoPro mounts. But this pole does not turn into a tripod like others I've seen, it's just a pole. The top where the GoPro screws in doesn't turn into a tripod mount.
