XShot Launches a New Camera Extender

The camera extender is something of a niche product that's become much more popular with the rise of social media sites like MySpace and Facebook. It's designed for those that want to take pictures of themselves alongside their friends.

The latest extender from XShot is the Pocket XShot, created to be compact, light and easy to travel with. It weighs in at just 4.6 ounces and though it extends out to a distance of 30.5 inches it collapses to just 6.5 inches in length.

"The Pocket XShot is the ultimate accessory for anyone looking to take great photos especially for social media," says XShot founder Michael Daoud, "When you use it, it looks like someone else took the picture."

You can pick up the Pocket XShot for $29.99 now directly from XShot.
