Insta360 3m Extended Selfie Stick for X3, ONE RS/X2/R/X - Reach 118

In this review the Insta360 3m Extended Selfie Stick is judged by photographers and action camera users who need extra reach without extra weight. The bottom line: this carbon fiber telescoping pole is for anyone shooting with an Insta360 camera who wants a bend-resistant, nearly invisible extension up to 118in for selfies, group shots, and creative overhead or follow-cam angles. It stands out for its light 12.8 oz construction and the simple clockwise/counterclockwise rotation locks that make extension and retraction fast and reliable.

Key Features

• Universal Insta360 compatibility: Works with X3, ONE RS, ONE X2, ONE R, ONE X, ONE and other Insta360 cameras so you can use the same pole across camera generations.
• Redesigned telescoping range: Extends from 14in collapsed to 118in fully extended, giving much more reach for overhead, follow, and selfie shots.
• Carbon fiber construction: Bend-resistant design keeps the pole rigid for cleaner footage while weighing only about 12.8 oz for easy transport.
• Secure rotation locks: Sections lock and loosen with a clockwise/counterclockwise twist, making setup simple and minimizing accidental collapse while shooting.
• 1/4-20 mounting threads: Standard 1/4-20 screw at the top for camera or accessory mounting and a bottom 1/4-20 thread for tripod or handle attachment to expand mounting options.
• Rubberized grip: The non-slip grip helps maintain control of the pole during active use and when shooting in wet or sweaty conditions.

Who It's For

Photographers, vloggers, and action-sports users who already own an Insta360 camera will get the most from this pole, especially those who need extended reach for dynamic compositions or to keep the camera out of frame in selfie mode. The lightweight carbon fiber construction benefits travelers and content creators who carry gear for long shoots and want minimal added weight.

People looking for a cheap, generic selfie stick or users of non-Insta360 cameras who require a different mounting system should look elsewhere, since this stick is tuned for Insta360 compatibility and leverages the camera bodies where the pole can be hidden or mounted cleanly.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very lightweight carbon fiber design makes long shoots less tiring.
• Broad 14in to 118in range enables creative overhead and follow shots not possible with shorter sticks.
• Rotation lock sections are fast to operate and hold the extension rigid during use.
• Top and bottom 1/4-20 threads increase accessory and tripod compatibility.

Cons

• As an international product, packaging, labeling, or instructions may differ from local versions, which could be confusing for some users.
• The very long extension can still transmit some vibration on extreme moves, so stabilization technique or gimbals may be required for certain shots.

How is the pole locked at different lengths?
Each telescoping section locks using a clockwise/counterclockwise rotation system that tightens or loosens the sections quickly.

Is the pole easy to carry for travel?
