Well, today we will review the long pole.
Hugh looks like an idiot by the way carrying that long stick, pole, stick, pole, pole stick
[laughing]
Hey, what's up, everybody!
It is your Boi Hugh here from CreatorUp.
After my popular LONG invisible selfie stick review & tutorial right here, which you should
check it out before this video, I got lots of requests to search for a cheaper alternative
that is available on Amazon.
Well, the No Drone No Problem FPV video on Venice Beach you just saw, was shot on the
new alternative - the Telesin 2nd Generation Carbon Fiber Selfies Stick with Insta360 one x2 on top
In short, it is almost identical to the 270Pro Backpack S - made with really high-quality
carbon fiber, do not bend like generation one, and it is cheaper than Backpack S. The
Telesin 2nd Generation is only $40 dollars, compared to Backpack S, which is around $100.
If you use Insta360 ONE X or the new ONE X2, or the Qoocam 8K - which needs 1/4 mount - this
is the best option.
Telesin is the company design the original Insta360 3-meter pole.
So it just fit nicely on the new One X2.
It comes with the GoPro mount attachment, so you can attach GoPro Hero 9 or GoPro MAX.
But the design of 270Pro Backpack S is much better for GoPro camera or Insta360 One R.
Especially the GoPro Screw right here, it is a patterned design which you can use the
screw or a quarter to tighten the Aluminum GoPro style mount - to really secure your
expensive camera in 3-meter distance.
The Telesin is a cheap plastic GoPro Mount attachment.
My general principle is, do not use an attachment for a long selfie stick - it increases the
risk of dropping your expensive camera
So, again, GoPro or One R - get the 270Pro Backpack S.
One X2 or Qoocam 8K - get the new Telesin 2nd Generation.
When they both fully extended, they are the same length.
But when they are not extended, Telesin is still slightly longer than 270Pro Backpack S.
As you see right here, it is about 2 and half inches longer.
It is still really short and def fits nicely in a backpack so don't worry.
In terms of weight, 270Pro Backpack S is 225g and the Telesin Generation 2 is 255g.
So Telesin is 30g heavier.
I am being very technical and nitpicking here.
But at the end of the day, I can hold the Telesin Generation 2 with a ONE X2 fully extended
in 2.7-meter with ONLY 1 hand, this is really really light for a long pole.
As you see here, both myself and my friend Leah can do dumb tricks with the pole - it
is pretty safe for anyone to operate it.
Just don't try to do Yoga pose with it ...
How "invisible" is the pole?
Well, when it is not fully extended, as you see in this 360 photo shot on ONE X2, it is
pretty invisible.
When fully extended in an angel like right here, you kinda see the pole in 360.
Not as much as Generation 1 - it is basically the same as 270Pro Backpack S.
All long selfie sticks require After Effects content aware-fill to remove the stick in
post-production.
Please, again, watch my tutorial in the 270Pro review video to learn how to make your pole
truly invisible.
In generation one, you can do this...
So I wiped this thing so hard that the generation 1 - I can't even put it back in.
If you come close, right here.
You see this thing kinda come out.
Because I wipe it so hard.
Technical I just broke my generation one.
You can not do this in generation 2.
It has THREE safety locks right here that you need to twist to open.
And it has nine sessions - 9 different lengths - compared to Backpack S, which only have
5 sessions Like 270Pro Backpack S, Telesin Generation
2 is sea waterproof and you can unscrew the base to wash it with running water after ocean
activities to get rid of saltwater.
The base has re-enforced Aluminum - you can attach professional tripod legs like the Bushman
base and add weight right here for Virtual Tour or Timelapse for extra stability.
It is really the only consumer monopole you will ever need for Insta360 ONE X2.
One thing I did not mention in my 270Pro Backpack S review video, it is the audio solution for
a super long selfie stick like the Telesin Generation 2 or Backpack S. When the pole
is fully extended, the camera is way too far to hear you.
If you are using the 360 camera as a vlogging camera, you need an audio solution.
Professional Wireless Mic is expensive.
So I also pick up the Telesin Pro-Grade Wearable Microphone.
This lav sound absolutely amazing for its price.
Here is the comparison.
So I turn the camera on.
So I have this is the Insta360 ONE X2 audio attachment from CYNOVA I can actual get it
out for you.
This cage I am using is from Smallrig - Smallrig Utility Frame for Insta360 one x2.
It allows you to attach this little thing microphone attachment right here.
You can put it straight into the camera.
Take that plastic thing out.
Just plug this thing in.
It also allow you to plugin in extra power here too if you need to do a live stream this
is the perfect solution.
Power it and mic in.
I have the TELESIN microphone wired to me right now.
And I have the TELESIN 2.7M pole right now.
I am just gonna roll the camera.
The biggest selling point of this $18 Microphone is its cable.
It comes with a 6-meter cable that you can bongo tie all the way into the camera when
the selfie stick is fully extended.
It is the longest wired lav mic I can find on the internet.
[Testing with TELESIN lavalier microphone - Insta360 One X2]
Since it is wired - it is also free of interference and single noise.
So if audio quality is very important to you, then def pick that up as well.
Also, bongo ties to organize your cable.
If you hate the wire and you have some extra cash to invest into a wireless solution.
Then I will suggest the Telesin UHF Wireless Microphone.
I got it actually for 360 Livestream.
But it comes with 2 Lapel Mics that has surprisingly great audio quality.
It has a 50-meter transmission distance.
So it is more than enough.
The signal sender is very small and, most importantly, a long round shape.
So it can easily be hidden under your 360 camera - especially the long pole here.
Again, bongo tie is your best friend.
Just attach it like so you are good to go.
I hope you enjoy this video.
I also want to show you quickly how I improve the video quality dramatically using the Topaz
video enhance AI to make 1080P reframed output from Insta360 ONE X2 into 4K for the intro
of this video.
As you see, Topaz Video Enhance AI is a great tool for the job if you just want to use shotlab
on a mobile phone but still really care about image quality and want to release your reframed
video in 4K on YouTube or Facebook.
You can see the left and right comparison here.
If you want to use this magic on 360 VR video, you should def check out my 360 VR Video masterclass
right here.
