4.2 Capturing Unique Perspectives

• Extended Reach: Utilize the full 3-meter extension for wide-angle shots, group photos, or elevated perspectives.
• Invisible Effect: When used with panoramic cameras (e.g., Insta360), the slim carbon fiber design allows the stick to be digitally removed from 360-degree footage, creating a 'drone-like' effect.
• Stability: The carbon fiber construction ensures stability even at maximum extension, preventing bending or wobbling.

5. Maintenance

• After Seawater Immersion: If the selfie stick is used in seawater, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water and dry it completely to prevent salt buildup and corrosion.
• Storage: When storing the selfie stick, ensure all segments are fully retracted and locked. Rotate the bar as you store it to prevent cracking.

6. Troubleshooting and Safety Precautions

• Locking Issues: If the selfie stick segments do not lock properly, ensure you are rotating them in the correct direction (clockwise to lock, counter-clockwise to unlock) and that no debris is obstructing the mechanism.
• Weight Limit: Do not mount objects weighing over 0.3kg (300g) on the selfie stick to prevent damage or instability.
• Thunderstorms: Do not use the selfie stick during thunderstorms due to the risk of lightning strikes.
• Power Sources: Do not touch any power supply with the selfie stick.
• Retraction: When retracting, turn the segments in the opposite direction to unlock. Avoid hitting the bar back directly to prevent cracking.
