This selfie stick comes in three parts handle, telescoping pole and phone mounting bracket. The handle, which contains the flashlight and backup battery, is coated in a matte silicone material that provides good grip. It's soft to the touch. The unit is charged through a micro USB port and is co-located on the back of the handle with the output USB port for charging your mobile phone. Both these ports are covered by a single rubber cover. Take care when opening the cover, however, as it is held on by a very tiny section of rubber. The backup battery provides enough power to fully charge most devices at least once.
The selfie stick charges up in just over 2 hours. The flashlight is bright, on par with other pocket flashlights, and will definitely come in handy. Because the battery capacity is large for this kind of device, on a full charge it can stay in standby mode for weeks at a time before needing to be recharged. Assembly is straightforward. You basically twist to lock/unlock each section of the telescoping pole, which is made of plastic. Attaching the phone mounting bracket is like attaching a camera to a tripod footplate just screw it on.
The selfie stick is balanced and feels sturdy in your hand. The entire assembly plus my phone weighs less than a pound and is easy to control, direct, and take photos with. The phone mount is strong and even with some vigorous shaking, my phone did not fall out. It provides few extra features that make it a go to product from a selfie stick. It can always be taken apart to save space and you can use the flashlight and backup battery separately from the rest of the unit. Overall a great product.
