(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, May 07, 2015 ) Los Angeles, California -- The ubiquitous selfie is a common part of social media. Most of these camera phone shots are done at arm's length, but the new trend is to use a selfie stick.
Capable of extending well beyond a standard arm, the selfie stick gives new opportunities for deeper and more creative shots when posing.
Adrenaline junkies and thrill seekers who use the Go-Pro line of cameras also find selfie sticks helpful. Used either as a first person shot or from a third party getting the best angle on the action shot, selfie sticks are quickly changing the world of action photography.
EpicPod is a manufacturer and retailer of selfie sticks and is a proud Amazon.com e-retailer. Their newest product, the Xtreme Xtender has already made its mark on Amazon and for good reason.
Jason Woodford, managing director for EpicPod and the Xtreme Xtender, had this to say, "our selfie stick was built to withstand anything a user can throw at it. This means skydiving, skateboarding or trekking up the mountains."
The handle even has a Bluetooth shutter built in for smartphone photo and video shots. A quick twist extends the Xtender, and a second twist locks the extended piece firmly in place. A fantastic How-To video was created to show their customers how the Xtreme Xtender works.
"There have been plenty of complaints from selfie stick users losing a shot because the camera flopped over or the extension rod bends under the weight of the phone all because of poor design and manufacturing to save money. This is not the case with our product," said Woodford, "You can easily tell the quality of a selfie stick by the extension rod. If it locks in place using friction, chances are it will eventually wear out and your phone will dangerously flop around. The extension rod is made of low quality material if it bends under the weight of the smartphone."
This is where the Xtreme Xtender's choice of quality material shines through by using aircraft grade anodized aluminum to strengthen the extension rod.
The last and most important part of the Xtreme Xtender is seat for the camera. Featuring a diameter larger than a quarter, the rubber boot holds the camera, Go Pro adapter, or phone holder adapter firmly but still able to take the shocks of extreme abuse.
