Introduction

For those of us who love capturing breathtaking footage with our Insta360 action cameras, stability is paramount. Shaky videos are a major turn-off, and that’s where the Selfie Stick Ring Mount (model number CINSBAVT) comes in. This ring-shaped mount promises enhanced stability, even on the bumpiest rides. After weeks of testing it with various Insta360 models and in diverse environments, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review.

Features

The CINSBAVT’s standout feature is its innovative ring design. This allows for a secure, direct grip on the selfie stick without relying on the often-flimsy 1/4″ mount. The aluminum alloy construction feels robust and surprisingly lightweight, and the build quality is excellent. It’s designed for compatibility with the Insta360 70cm/85cm/114cm Invisible Selfie Sticks and the Action Invisible Selfie Stick. One important note: this ring mount is designed to work in conjunction with either the Heavy Duty Clamp or Motorcycle U-bolt Mount (sold separately). This ensures a rock-solid setup, even during extreme activities.

Performance

I tested the CINSBAVT with my Insta360 X4 and GO 3S, attaching it to both the shorter and longer Invisible Selfie Sticks. The results were consistently impressive. Whether I was cycling through uneven terrain, driving on rough roads, or even kayaking on choppy waters, the camera remained incredibly stable. The ring mount effectively dampened vibrations, producing noticeably smoother footage compared to using just the standard 1/4″ mount. The ease of attachment and removal was also a plus. The setup is intuitive, making for a smooth workflow.

However, there’s a slight learning curve in finding the optimal positioning for certain shots to ensure the camera is not obstructed by the ring mount itself. Some minor adjustments are required depending on the camera model used, but the resulting enhanced stability easily outweighs the minor inconvenience.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Excellent stability, lightweight yet durable build, easy attachment, compatible with multiple Insta360 models and selfie sticks.
• Cons: Requires additional mounts (Heavy Duty Clamp or Motorcycle U-bolt Mount), slight learning curve for optimal camera placement.

Final Verdict

The Selfie Stick Ring Mount (CINSBAVT) is a worthwhile investment for anyone serious about capturing smooth, professional-looking footage with their Insta360 action camera. While it requires additional accessories for a complete setup, the significant improvement in stability and the ease of use make it a top recommendation. If you’re tired of shaky videos and prioritize image quality, this mount is a game-changer.
