DOCA Camera Pole Extension Pole for GoPro, Provides Reach for Aerial Photography and Videography - 5-12 Ft with Adapter

This is my 3rd pole. It has changed since I ordered my first and second ones. It works more smoothly while extending and retracting. Seems to have had an upgrade in pole material. However, one note, I have had one problem consistently - the joints that allow extension often "freeze up" making it hard to extend at that joint. I carry the correct size/shape allen wrench tool so I can adjust the tightness at that joint. Last - the only real disappointment from time to time is the handles used to open and close the joint often breakoff.

The media could not be loaded. Very fun to use with a trail cam. Wish the doc pole camera mounting was specifically rated/advertised/designed for the weight of a trail cam, but so far it’s worked great with ours! So far we’ve captured daily fun nature footage from all sorts of heights. We use the trail cam straight up on the pole (don’t want to put too much off center weight on the docapole camera mount). By using the pole to hold the trail cam, I can take the camera up and down in moments, no need for ladders or drilling holes. Pole very well made and sturdy. We liked the docapole so much, we bought a shorter one too and lots of cleaning attachments. The bird feeder hanger attachment has been helpful too. Levers well made, pole sections slide smoothly, nice quality overall. Definite asset for many uses. Hope this review is useful to you.

I recently purchased the DOCA camera pole, and I couldn’t be more impressed. This product is phenomenal in every sense of the word. The strength and durability of this pole are far beyond what I initially anticipated—it feels rock-solid, even in demanding conditions. The swivel adapter is brilliantly designed, making adjustments smooth and effortless while ensuring a secure hold once locked in place. It’s evident that a lot of thought went into making this pole both user-friendly and reliable.To address some of the negative reviews I’ve seen: Yes, I am a human being, and I truly believe some people need to understand their needs and the product they’re purchasing before leaving a review. This camera pole does exactly what it promises and more. If you’re looking for a top-tier, durable, and easy-to-use camera pole, this is it. It’s now an essential part of my gear, and I can’t recommend it enough.

So far this adapter does what it says. It feels solid. I'd feel better if there was a second securing feature as a double back up to the set screw (which does prevent the adapter from twisting under normal torque). This review is also including the intended purpose of using the pole for extended camera shots.I got this to try out a small compact canon g5 mark ii on the long pole docapole. It worked pretty well. The pole itself gets a little wobbly around 20ft, but worked fine at 30' . It felt okay to hold it at an angle, but obviously the extra leverage does make the pole feel very heavy.I also worked up the courage to try a canon r5 with a 16-35mm f2.8 lens. I went to about 22ft straight up and down before the wobbling started to worry me. I don't think the adapter would break but the pole itself seemed like it could fall apart or bend and snap if the angle got off from being straight up and down for too long. I recommend getting a holder to attach to the pole bottom for your phone or whatever you use to control the camera.I don't think I'd ever be fully comfortable using the pole consistently with a larger camera and lens, but for a few shots here or there I think it's worth the risk. I'm confident it would work fine with any smaller camera.

I debated getting this for quite a while, just because of the price. I used an old painters pole that worked, however, I was always afraid it would break when I used it. It was probably just a matter of time before it did. This pole is by far more superior to the painters pole and well worth the price. I am a home inspector and use it frequently when trying to take photos in precarious and elevated situations. I have much more peace of mind when fully extended with an expensive camera at the end of it. I can fully extend this with a camera on it and hold it completely horizontal with out it breaking or kinking. U use a Nikon Cool Pix W300. It didn't come with the adapter for my camera but that was easy to get. Looking back, the price is actually very reasonable considering the confidence I have using it. I'm glad I didn't wait until my other pole broke.

This lightweight extendable pole is perfect for my inspections on roofs that are unsafe to walk on. I add my GoPro and to the top of the pole and my tablet at the bottom where I can see and hold the pole and presto I can view, can take pics and videos safely. The price is a value. The inspection companies that sell tools and equipment charge more than what this pole did. I did have to add at a separate purchase a tablet pole holder as I have a 12.2-inch tablet which is not a standard size. but it works great, sturdy, and compactable. the clamps for each extension are tough and sturdy. Well, it works for me and it also looks great. I didn't spend more than what a pole is really worth. if you know what I mean.

The media could not be loaded. I am an inspector and I needed this to hold a Gopro Camera at the end of a pole for roof inspections. After about a month of use, it would no longer hold the weight of the camera. Extremely pricey for a product that doesn't live up to expectation.

The longer you extend the pole, compare to weight, it's not productive for small/Med size people. I needed a camera pole. Glad I was able to hold the pole because it isn't light. Strong built. Just not what I thought it would be. Needs to be lighter.
