This is a high-quality, folding selfie stick, though I do notice a couple of areas that could be improved.I do love the folding aspect of this selfie stick. It makes it much easier to store my X5 on the go, and it works well with my X5 case still attached to protect the camera. Gone is the hassle of attaching a selfie stick each time I pull the X5 out of my sling.This one is on the shorter side when compared to other selfie sticks available, but the folding nature of this one can trump the extra length, depending on your application.The ¼” screw slot at the bottom also allows attachment to other accessories.But there are a couple improvements that I would like to see –First, it would be great if it had a strap of some kind to secure the camera a little when folded.And I wish the quick-release buttons were better placed (or somehow protected) to prevent accidental release when folding the stick. The button to release the folder is very close to one of the quick-release buttons. It’s far too easy to accidentally release your expensive camera when trying to fold this selfie stick.Overall, I’ve happy with this item, despite those issues. If you’re looking for a relatively inexpensive folding selfie stick for your X5, you will like this one.
