Exceeded my expectations. I also own a DSLR and I now have a monopod. Also I found that the iPhone/mirror holder parts were interchangeable with the current tripod I own so now I can put my iPhone on a tripod as well. I also liked how the monopod/selfie stick's top connection has the option to rotate so that iPhone photos can be portrait-oriented. I had a little trouble with the Bluetooth but aside from that, great product. I bought it as a gift for an upcoming road trip and I am so excited that this selfie stick will be coming on the trip with me. Take some time to figure out what length, angle, and orientation best fits your needs. I mostly use the phone mount that supports the mirror.

I've used it as a mini tripod, a tall monopod, a selfie stick with my Ricoh Theta S. Took off the hand strap to use with the Ricoh Theta strap attachment to carry my camera down the Strip in Vegas. Used the extendable stick to hold my camera through the top of the sunroof.

Great extension length and nice grip handle.
However, I wasn't a fan of using the bluetooth to connect and having to charge the selfie stick. The battery of the selfie stick is unpredictable and there's no way to tell how much is left. So many times I was left with a dead selfie stick.
They have the same selfie stick with the connecting wire which doesn't require charging, which I purchased soon after and am completely in love with.

Very easy to carry out but I faced problems to pair it with the selfie stick

Very sturdy and the different attachments are great.  Holds GoPro and phones with ease and bluetooth pairing was simple. I don't use my DSLR for these types of shots, but it did hold up well as a test.  Probably the best selfie stick you'll find.

I was given this selfie stick in exchange for a review. I've only been using it for a few days now but just by the way it's built and worked for me, I would definitely buy this again if I needed another one! I highly recommend it! It doesn't feel cheap at all, it's a sturdy built product and it grips my phone really well. The rod on it that extends is very stiff and I had to pull pretty hard to get it to extend which is really nice because then I know that it's not going to slide back down when I'm trying to take a picture. The button on it is really easy to push when taking the picture and the whole thing is connected through bluetooth so you don't have to worry about hooking up any cords to it! I've been using the selfie stick quite a bit the last few days and I haven't had to charge it yet. If you do need to charge it it does have a plug in at the very base of the stick and it takes the same charger as an android phone (which comes with the selfie stick) and that's really handy as well if an android is the type of phone that you have so that you can have more than one charging cord for it! The handle is some sort of rubbery plastic substance so it has a really good grip to it! The phone holder is adjustable so you can take vertical or horizontal pictures. It's all pretty simple to use, even my 3 year old was having fun with it :) and like I said, I would definitely recommend this product to others!

Real good!

This is a great product when you need to take a great selfie. In can be used for fun and also where your job might require you to be your own cameraman.

It's very easy to set up with an iphone or other smart phones through Bluetooth. Its designed with a very firm and supportive clamp to hold your phone so that the phone can be put on and adjusted easily. The length of the monopod is adjustable and is a great extension for your arm allowing you to get a good background on your photos and videos.

The battery life of the monopod allows you to be out all day/night taking photos and videos without worrying about it needing a charge when you are taking pictures or videos. All in all, this is a good product with high quality, and competitive price.

I don't know of any other dedicated selfie stick that has an integrated battery so this is a great idea however with a few design tweaks it could be a 5 star product instead of 3.5.
Some highlights and thoughts:
-Using it with the GoPro worked well and the angle that it holds the camera is good to keep the pole out of the lens view.
-The grip is very comfortable
-The weight of the stick is on the heavy side but given that it includes a battery that is understandable.
-It would be nice if the stick could extend another 6" however it is adequate for most uses.
-The biggest deficit I see to the PolarPro is that it should have optional ends. The GoPro mount should be detachable with a standard 1/4" tripod mount included. I think having the option to attach a smartphone or camera would make this much more valuable.
-The rubber covers for the USB ports could have a more thoughtful design.
-The camera charger worked well.
-You will need to use the skeleton case or no case with your GoPro to plug in the charger (I know, DUH!).
-The included charging cord for the stick would be nice if there was the same type of cord/receptacle that is used to charge the camera so you could just carry one cord instead of two.

All in all this is a nicely made product that I like but don't love. I am looking forward to the possibility of a version 2.0 of the PolarPro that is updated to include a few design features and accessories.

I first and foremost want to thank Coolreall for sending me this product to test. It was fantastic and I have been using it more than what I thought I would be. Admittedly, I am the person who would judge selfie stick owners, but I have been converted. The packaging it came in was clean cut and beautiful. The actual stick is nicely made and does not really require any directions. It comes with a wrist strap (like a wii controller would have) to add to some of the security of the hold. It easily paired to my phone via Bluetooth and started to take awesome pictures. I would recommend this to any person looking for a selfie stick!

I handed this off to my mother and within moments she knew what to do and how to use it, so that says a lot about the functionality of it all.

*** UPDATED REVIEW *** 11/25/2015
My original review was from late June 2015 (which you can find below)

I used this selfie stick throughout my three week trip abroad. The things I liked most about it was that it was very sturdy and had a great extension. I felt comfortable having my phone on it with full extension. Was able to capture some memories with friends without having to bother strangers. However, it is definitely not compact enough to keep in your pocket or small purse (as I was trying to do). It became kind of annoying to have to carry it around because of its shape. But it did work very well.

In my original review, I noted how my remote wasn't working so I contacted Gear District to get a replacement since they advertise Lifetime Warranty. I received contact from them right away about getting a replacement. I left for my vacation abroad a few days after, and when I returned, three weeks later, I still never received it. As luck would have it, the selfie stick broke during the last leg of my trip. Since I enjoyed having it so much, I thought I'd contact them to see if I could get support on it. So I contacted them again, referring to how both the remote and the stick were broken (and that I had not received a replacement remote yet). They said that they would get me a replacement bundle and that they would ship it the next day, I would receive a refund for the delay, and they would check in with me a few days after shipping to see if I have received it. Sweet. I received the refund, but never received the bundle. Not even a check up to see if I received it. I already had the refund, so I just put that to buying a new one to replace the one I loss. Needless to say, I'm a little wary to buy future products from Gear District.

*** ORIGINAL REVIEW *** 7/2015
"Excellent Customer Service! 5 Stars
I was compelled to buy this bundle because of all the goodies that it seemed to offer along with the selfie stick, which is the only thing I was really looking for. When I got the package, my selfie stick worked great with the bluetooth button that was on the handle, but did not work with the remote. I started to look closely at the description to see if there was any way I could contact the seller. Having a functional remote wasn't a big deal to me since the button on the stick worked, but I thought I'd ask about it in case I was doing something wrong. I saw that they had a "Full REAL Lifetime Hassle Free Warranty ! 100% US Customer Support!" tag as part of the description and contacted them via their website. I wasn't expecting an email back for another 10 hours, since I was contacting them a little past midnight. I was delighted, impressed, and surprised to have received a response within an hour from the founder of Gear District! I explained the problem and he told me he would send a new remote right away! I'm going to be using the selfie stick on my travels, and will update this post with a comprehensive review, but I thought I would leave a review for the excellent customer service I received.

From the shots I have already made using the stick, I can say that it's easy to use and feels very sturdy. I gave it a good shake to see if it would fall out, but the grip held it nicely. I do not feel worried about my phone falling.

They are everywhere, and people are constantly wanting to take pics of themselves in locations with their phones.

Well, this devices offers that capability with the added convenience of a bluetooth shutter release button built into the handle! The apparatus that holds the phone is quite complex looking, but it works quite well and will hold just about any cell phone you can throw at it.

The monopod extends up to 40" and has a nice rubberized handle which allows for a good grip. The bluetooth button syncs easily to your phone and allows for seamless snapping of selfies all day long!! The included USB cable allows you to charge up your device so that you can keep on shooting.

Overall I'd say that if you are looking for a selfie stick, you can't go wrong with this one!

Not only is it a selfie-stick (a long selfie-stick.) But also a monopod (a short monopod.) And a tripod (a short tripod) and a bluetooth remote control. And it comes with adapters for smartphones, tablets and GoPro cameras.

Mine didn't have the Accmor brand name on it, but it looked exactly the same. At first I was a little disappointed with the smartphone adapter - because it looked like ones I've had in the past that have broken and launched my phone across the room. But upon closer inspection, the problem with the older adapters has been fixed on this model. I didn't realize it came with a tablet adapter - kinda nice addition.

With almost all mobile phones including a capable camera anymore it is becoming a normal thing to see people taking self portraits, or selfies. Typically I have seen selfies taken in a mirror though occasionally I see one where the phone was held out at arms length to snap the picture. Selfie sticks, or monopods, give a little more range than an arm and make taking selfies a piece of cake. This monopod by URPOWER is a nice one and it works very well.

This is a typical straight telescoping monopod that just pulls out like an old TV or radio antenna. The shutter remote is on the handle and the harness for the phone attaches to a shoe on the end that has a universal sized screw. This screw makes it possible to either change the harness and use another or to directly attach a camera or camcorder to the end. Some monopods have a permanently attached harness which is ok but I prefer having the ability to switch the harness, even if the harness is excellent.

The handle is solid and is encased in a rubber sleeve. Many monopods that have this kind of sleeve are not assembled well and the sleeve is loose which can interfere with the remote shutter button. This one does not have that problem and the rubber sleeve is very tight and secure. I tried forcibly twisting the sleeve to get the button cover misaligned and was unable to do so.

The harness itself is a spring loaded holder that can adjust to accommodate most phones. I have had no trouble with the harness and it seems to be sturdy enough to handle being used often without fatiguing.

When powered on and discoverable the monopod identifies itself as URPOWER. I had no issue at all with pairing and connected to my Sony Xperia Z and it worked exactly as it is supposed to work. I was able to activate the shutter without any problems. I wanted to see if it would work with my Windows phone and tried to pair and connect. It paired and connected immediately but then disconnected. I did not expect it to work but it was worth a shot.

This is a nice selfie stick that works well. It is well made and is inexpensive. In its price range its a good choice.

I got this to be a mono-pod for my camera.  It totally worked and earned its place in my outdoor gear on the first day.  The compass unscrews and I purchased a Mini ball head camera mount to replace the compass.  Because it was not originally intended to function as a mono-pod, it is technically too short for me (I'm 5'8"). I would spread my stance to sink down to its height. Still, for the price it worked amazingly well.  Most mono-pods are >$50 and none of them seem to collapse as short as this will. As the description suggests it folds up great for packing in my carry on luggage for travel and packed well into my camping pack.

It was great to use while hiking up a hill in the first place, although the "rocking" foot was a little awkward to use at times.  The usefulness of the rocking foot came into play when using it as a camera mono-pod.  Gave for a more gentile tilt to smooth out video options.  Because it folded, I could also shorten the stick when I wanted to photograph things from the ground.

It comes with a carrying case, but I am going to attach some sort of cinch strap that will wrap around when it is folded so it doesn't unfurl all the time. Even still, I hardly noticed I was carrying it around folded up when hiking.  It was so lightweight. I would leave my camera attached to the head and walk with it folded up in my hands so when I did see a photo I wanted to take Id just let go, it would unfurl and snap into place fairly quickly.

Most everyone can use a walking stick on a pleasure trip, while a "real" tripos is often left at home or in the car.

The Trek Pod is a lightweight walking stick that doubles as a monopod or a tripod when needed. Whether you're carrying an iPhone  with a Gilf tripod mount or a conventional flm or digital camera, this 3 way solution does the job. Height quickly adjustable for both walking and photography. The legs become part of the body when walking or for use as a monopod. Useful accessories, too. We've had ours four or five years. Still going strong. Comes in different models. Check to specs to be sure you get the one best for you.

This purchase from Amazon was for our favorite son-in-law

Got this selfie stick for a GoPro but it also has adapters for smart phones. Love the fact it has a threaded connection at the base so that you can mount on a tripod. Because of this extra feature I will use it to record my kids soccer matches.

Adjusts to any angle you need very easily, is very ridged but not too heavy so you won't get fatigue.

Not used the remote Bluetooth feature but this is very cool and super useful.

All in all very happy.

Really nice and efficient selfie-stick.  I was thinking about some of the other designs, until I saw how big and heavy they were.  Yeah, sure.  I was planning on using this on vacations, so I don't want to lug around a full-sized monopod around.  This one folds down very compact, and had a nicely designed head.  The hinge is also very nicely designed, because you can tighten it with one hand, and loosen it to where you can twist it to your desired position and have it hold well enough to let go of the phone and tighten it without it slopping around.  There is rubber on the hinge joint which holds it as you do this.

Bluetooth pairing was simple, and easy.  Worked on my old Galaxy S2 and S4.  Nice blue LED shows when it's on and paired.  Can turn it off by holding button down for 3 seconds.

Awesome device!
