At a glance
The GoPro Shorty is a compact mini extension pole with built-in tripod legs for handheld filming and simple stationary shots. It suits travellers, casual creators and GoPro users who want one easy accessory for selfies, group photos and quick clips. Key strengths are its lightweight pocket-sized design and dual-purpose use. The main limitation is its short 22.7 cm maximum reach, which is less versatile than larger poles.

Things to consider
Its maximum extension of 22.7 cm is handy for close framing, but it offers less reach and fewer mounting options than longer extension poles or more advanced multi-mount accessories.
Mounting flexibility score
7/10 - works well as both a grip and small tripod, but it is less adaptable than specialist mounts.
Adventure suitability
Good for travel, sightseeing and casual outdoor use where portability matters more than long reach.
Compatibility with major brands
Primarily designed for compatible GoPro HERO models listed, rather than broad cross-brand use.
Travel friendliness
9/10 - folds to 11.7 cm and is easy to carry in a pocket or small bag.
Durability rating
7/10 - suitable for regular travel and everyday shooting, though not positioned as a heavy-duty specialist mount.
Key benefits

- Mini Extension Pole: Extends to 22.7 cm to give you extra reach for selfies and tighter framing.
- Compact Folded Size: Folds down to 11.7 cm for easy storage in a pocket or small bag.
- Lightweight Design: Easier to carry on day trips and travel without adding much bulk.
- Dual-Purpose Build: Combines handheld shooting and tripod support in one accessory.

Q: Will The Shorty work with newer GoPro cameras as well?
A: GoPro The Shorty is listed as compatible with HERO7 Black, HERO7 Silver, HERO7 White, HERO (2018), HERO6 Black, HERO5 Black and HERO5 Session. Newer GoPro models are not part of its documented compatibility list on this page.
Q: Can the built-in tripod stand securely on uneven outdoor ground?
A: No. The built-in tripod is intended for flat surfaces such as tables, benches or floors. It suits quick hands-free shots in stable spots, but uneven ground can make placement less secure than using a larger tripod.
Q: Is the extension long enough for group shots or wide framing?
A: It can help for close group photos, but reach is limited. The pole extends to 22.7cm, so it gives more distance than holding the camera by hand, not the longer framing range of a full-size extension pole.
Q: Does it fold small enough for a pocket or sling bag?
A: Yes. GoPro The Shorty folds to 11.7cm, so it is easy to carry in a pocket or small bag for day trips. The trade-off is shorter reach, which matters more for wide selfies or filming over obstacles.
Q: Will it work for desk videos or time-lapse shots?
A: Yes. It can hold a compatible GoPro on a flat desk or table for hands-free recording. It is a low mini tripod rather than a tall stand, so framing height is limited and the surface needs to stay stable.
Q: Does it fit non-GoPro action cameras with standard mounts?
A: GoPro The Shorty is documented for selected GoPro cameras rather than a broad list of third-party models. If a camera is outside the named HERO7, HERO6, HERO5 and HERO (2018) range, fit is not confirmed on this page.
