Orbit Pole Carbon Fiber Orbit Pole Cinema Stick (Red)

While most monopods and selfie sticks are unidirectional, the Orbit Pole Cinema Stick allows continuous 360° on-the-fly pan adjustment of an action camera by just rotating a thumb wheel. This Orbit Pole, in carbon fiber and red, allows the action cam adventurer to take things to a more cinematic level.

The Orbit Pole offers three areas of adjustment: first, set your length between 20 and 34"; then set the elbow at the far end of the stick at any angle between +90 to -90°; and then, while you're on the move, whether skiing, skateboarding, or otherwise, simply rotate the thumbwheel at your fingertips to pan the camera in either direction. The Orbit Pole adds a dynamic element to your capturing capabilities.

The Orbit Pole features a 1/4"-20 mounting screw at the far end supporting direct attachment of support prongs or action cameras with a 1/4"-20 thread on the bottom. It also supports smartphones via an included phone holder, and technically also supports cameras weighing up to 2.2 lb, but for extreme sports lighter loads would be ideal.

The Carbon Fiber Orbit Pole can also be used under water, even in depths substantially below 50 ft (an exact figure has not been provided by the manufacturer). The Carbon Fiber Orbit Pole achieves this successfully by allowing water to flow freely through its entire length. What's more, once you're back up on dry land, the open interior can easily be washed out with fresh water to clean out any possible bacteria. Since the material is carbon fiber, it will not corrode, even if used in salt water.
