Enterprise Pic Stick
Introduction
Need something
that enables you to set up your camera for self portrait pictures of you and
your specimen? - look no further the Enterprise Tackle Pic Stick is here.
This is probably best decribed as a set up target which replaces earthly objects
like twigs, branches and other bits of mostly cellulosic material with rather
more high tec pieces of plastic and metal.
Description
1 x stainless steel assembly with a knurled tension nut.
1 x 190mm base section.
1 x 190mm weighted top section.
1 x 190mm spigoted middle section.
1 x 100mm spigoted middle section.
1 x white target board.
1 x green carrying pouch.
Maybe a statement of the obvious but you will also need a suitable bankstick,
camera and camera bankstick adaptor as these are not supplied - the Enterprise
Tackle Pic Stick reviewed here is a target system.
In Use
When I first looked at the comprehensive instructions I thought 'Oh Hell'
but after a reread and fiddle with the bits things became clear. A quick set
up in the garden and I was away - snapping away to my hearts content - self
portraits a plenty. I liked the way that the stick folded away with a quick
tap or foot nudge out of camera view - don't want that white target thingy
in front of that huge specimen do we? - no comments please - I had enough
of those from a giggling missus! The set up was easy after familarising myself
with the bits.
Conclusions
If you want an easily set up target system for self portrait fishing pictures
then this is a good bit of kit. My only thought is that for hard ground (and
this would equally apply for the camera carrying bankstick) then things could
be a bit more difficult setting up.
