If you want quick release and folding hinge: get this. (They're both excellent features). If you don't care about those features (and free lens cover, which is quite nice): get the official insta 2 in 1 stick which is a bit longer, bit lower price, and has tripod legs.Quick tip first: When you connect, give the cam a little tug to make sure it's secure. One time I tugged and it popped right off, so just make sure it's seated. (Wasn't a flaw, it was my fault for not clicking in all the way). That said, once you know it's seated there is an excellent feature where you click down a lock button so that squeezing the sides will no longer free the camera.Durability and build: Very solid. Nice grip on handle, extends well, strong, no bowing, feels good.Length: 89cm. Official Insta one is 114cm. So if you want something longer, something to consider.Folding hinge: Actually really useful when you fold it over like pic4 and put in your pocket, that's how I've been carrying. Note pic4 has a cheapo lens cover I had nearby, the one included is much nicer, see listing pics. Hinge only locks in vertical, not when folded in half, just something to know.
