For what this does, it’s really good. It’s well made with decent quality plastic, a tactile grippy handhold and, while light, it has a solid feel.The opening and closing action is smooth, and the locking ring, with its notchy, easy-to-grip surface, holds the legs firmly. I wouldn’t overtighten it though due to the plastic construction and the risk of the threads jumping. It holds its length or height well depending on how it’s used, and it has a firm, tight feel as it extends or retracts rather than having any sloppiness. It’s also super compact once closed making it easy to pack away.With an Osmo on the ball head it pivots and positions easily while holding firm. The ball head is plastic, but it has a premium look and feel that matches the rest of the stick. The clips feel like metal, though it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere as far as I can tell, and they lock securely.The 1/4" thread on the side of the ball head will hold a mic or light with the addition of an accessory arm (not included), and provided it’s balanced and not overly heavy it works well. It would have been much better if an Osmo plate to 1/4" screw adapter was included to clip on and off the ball head. That would have given this more utility as a light, mic, or action cam tripod or stick without needing an accessory arm.This is very good, with a surprisingly premium feel for a little plastic stick, though it would have been better if it offered a bit more flexibility as noted above.Still recommended, it works well.
