ProPole - Painter's Pole Adapter - Camera Monopod

Works great with Doca pole

Works well and securely stays on the pole when you tighten down the hex key type screw. All metal construction. I use it with a long 3 section fiberglass pole that has a metal screw end. Other things you will need if getting this for "pole photography", obviously the pole, but you will also want an RF wireless camera remote, and an adjustable ball head to go between the pole adapter and the DSLR. The whole setup is a hundred dollars or less depending on what pieces you already have (I only needed the pole and adapter).

Great product. I’m an insurance assessor and I have it mounted to an extension pole with a smartphone adapter screwed onto it. Works great for getting roof pics. Good quality

This should be in every real estate photographer's gadget bag as it is a simple and cheap way of getting aerial shots without the expense of having to buy a drone. I use it on a 2.5 metre painter's pole and with a 17-40mm lens on my Canon 5D Mk11 I get really standout photos. (See sample attached.) Just set the timer to 10 seconds and hoist the pole. Sure there is an element of hit and miss but if you are using a wide-angle lens you will have more hits than misses. It fits all painters' poles - I'm in Ireland and the thread on them here in Europe is the same as in the USA. Delivery time was excellent and it is a very well built product. I cannot recommend it highly enough. If you take real estate photos you need this.

Works as advertised - just one caveat. I screw this directly into my camera and the screw has loosened in the adaptor. Last week I had mounted the camera and the screw had backed out into the adaptor instead of screwing into the camera. Fortunately, I caught this and did not drop the camera. I have removed the screw and retightened it with glue to hold it in place. I would have used a lock washer but I had every size except this one. If you buy, I recommend you (or the manufacturer) add a lock washer. One more detail. I first bought an inexpensive painter pole and this would not screw on. It worked fine with a 2X more expensive pole. I blame this on the pole, not the adaptor. Suggest you take the adaptor with you and try it on the pole. Glad I did not mail-order the pole!

I use this to screw in a camera to the top of a painter's pole. It works great. There isn't much more to say about this (few moving parts, few places to break... it is basically a male to female converter).

I use this with a Mr. Long Arm 3208 Pro-Pole Extension Pole, 4-to-8-Feet to extend my camera's reach. The Pro Pole Adapter is a well made product that screws on the end of a painter's pole. It has a 1/4-20 tripod screw on the end (which can be replaced with a longer screw, if desired). And it has a hex head set screw to firmly secure the adapter to the pole. In fact, my only quibble is that the don't provide the proper hex head wrench in the plastic bag holding the adapter. (I apologize for not providing the size here: I will add it later to save you the frustration of having to find the right-sized wrench - the ProPole folks don't tell you.) I think this could be lower-priced, but on the other hand, it is less expensive than competitive units. Overall. you need this if you're going to be using a painter's pole with cameras, microphones, lights and such. Jerry

This feels better constructed than the broom stick you will be putting it on for sure. I just test fit it to a painter pole to put a GoPro on and it is quite solid and fits well with no slack. Was a nice surprise to see this simple fixture to be so well constructed.
