Today I'll be unboxing a telescopic handhold monopod which is great for travel and you can easily attach your cell phone, camera and action camera. The purpose of this portable monopod is that when you travel you don't have to carry a lot and it's very lightweight so you should be able to take it anywhere you want it to. Before I do the unboxing let's go through some specification of this product. So this is XC Source Handheld Monopod or Telescopic Pole and it's made of aluminium alloy and fully extended length is 47.24 inch and when you fold or retract it becomes 15.75 inch. It's black colour and approximate weight is 260 gram which I would say it's very lightweight and it's compatible with all mobile phones and action camera and most of the hand-held compact cameras. So let's get started. Okay so we're taking this out from the box and I'll just leave the box here for now and so here's how it looks. This is the first thing this is an attachment and let's open this. Okay so these two look like tripod mount adapter and mobile phone or cell phone mount adapter so I'll just leave this aside for now. So it has a handheld attachment to hold it with your hand so you hold it this way and when you use it as a selfie stick or when you take your own video and here are some. So basically if you want to extend it then you'll have to just lift it away and then that's how it becomes extendable and then once you fully extend it you can just lock it by pressing the button towards the pole and this way it will be locked and then it's firm and it's not moving anymore. Okay so here let's fold this again I'll fold it back which is easier to show and I'll lock it back. Okay so here this is the non-slip soft foam handle I can it easily holds in hand and it's non-slip it has very firm and soft feeling so it should be able to hold it for longer without sleeping or sweating and then here is where here's the attachment where you can put it on top of a monopod base and then you'll be able to use it on ground just this way as a monopod so you'll need a separate monopod base to use as a monopod which you can find on amazon for around $15 or even less so that monopod base actually doesn't come with it so you have to buy this separately and then here this portion this is where you can attach your cell phone and let's take a look here okay so this one is revolving so you can move it the way you want and then here you can tighten it up and let's say if you have your phone on here then actually you can rotate that and then there's a button here which you can move to tighten your phone when you're taking your selfie or you're doing your video on your phone okay so what I'll do let me see if I have anything I can take this part away okay so here okay I think I found it so if you remove this portion your cell phone holder then here is the base where you can put your video camera or your compact camera and you can either video or use it as a selfie stick with your small camera and then here you have to just tighten it up again once you put your camera back on here so this XC source extendable pole or selfie stick it sells on amazon for around $15 or it could be even more or less based on when you buy it and the quality and build of the product looks not bad comparing the cheap price so it should easily work as a monopod when you have a monopod base and then you can use it easily as a selfie stick this way so it's a very handy and lightweight product and you can easily put it in your carry-on luggage and when you travel so you always have something to stabilize your camera or video camera or cell phone if you're taking pictures or video and I have nothing to complain based on the cheap price because if you buy similar a selfie stick or telescopic pole or monopod it can easily run from $50 to $70 or in that range but comparing the lower price this is not a bad option and you cannot go wrong with this product just by spending around $15 or that in that price range so another thing I would like to mention that it should hold all mobile phone or cell phone between 5 centimeter to 8 centimeter width and all action camera and all gopro hero and it should easily be able to handle your handheld cam but I wouldn't put a very heavy weight camera on it but if it fits then by the looks looks like you should be able to hold it as long as your monopod base is firm and on a firm surface so that's all for now keep an eye on this channel I'll be doing more reviews and on this channel you'll find financial travel and more videos just like the one you're watching right now so please give it a thumbs up if you like what you see and consider subscribing that's all for now thank you
