For creators on the go, a reliable selfie stick is essential. The DINEESS/A 300cm Extended Selfie Stick promises compatibility with all Insta360 cameras, lightweight design, and impressive reach. But does it deliver on its promises? I’ve put this stick through its paces over the past few weeks, subjecting it to various shooting scenarios to give you a comprehensive review.

The DINEESS/A boasts a number of key features designed to enhance your shooting experience. Its lightweight design (a mere 8 ounces) makes it comfortable to carry throughout the day. The extendable pole, ranging from 22 to 118 inches (56cm to 300cm), provides impressive flexibility for capturing unique perspectives. The carbon fiber and aluminum construction feels durable and sturdy, promising longevity. The 1/4″-20 mounting screw ensures compatibility with various accessories beyond just Insta360 cameras, and the rotation locking system is simple yet effective, holding the pole securely in place at your desired length.

In practice, the DINEESS/A performed admirably. The extendable pole is remarkably smooth, extending and retracting without any snags or resistance. The locking mechanism is secure, preventing unwanted movement during shoots. The lightweight design is a significant advantage, especially during longer shoots or when traveling. I used it extensively while vlogging, capturing wide shots of landscapes, and even some creative self-portraits. The ability to extend the stick to its full length was particularly helpful for capturing dynamic perspectives.

However, at its maximum extension, the pole does exhibit a slight amount of flex. While not enough to significantly impact image quality, it’s something to keep in mind for extremely windy conditions or when shooting high-resolution video where even minute vibrations can be noticeable. The 1/4″-20 mount is robust and worked seamlessly with my Insta360 One R.

Pros:

• Lightweight and portable
• Impressive reach (up to 300cm)
• Durable construction
• Smooth extension and retraction
• Secure locking mechanism
• Wide compatibility (1/4″-20 mount)

Cons:

• Slight flex at maximum extension
• May not be ideal for extremely windy conditions

Overall, the DINEESS/A 300cm Extended Selfie Stick (Model Number: DINEESS/A) is a solid addition to any Insta360 user’s kit. Its lightweight design, impressive reach, and robust construction make it a highly versatile tool for various shooting scenarios. While the slight flex at maximum extension is a minor drawback, it doesn’t detract significantly from its overall performance. I highly recommend this selfie stick to anyone looking to expand their creative possibilities with their Insta360 camera.
