Thank you Robert Reid from the Lonely Planet for recomending the XShot camera accessory!

“I love my XShot, an extender rod to take self-photos/video, which I do often on my portable video camera,” says Robert Reid, U.S. Travel Editor for Lonely Planet.

“Every time I use it, I get comments. ‘Hey what is THAT?’ So it’s an ice-breaker too.” XShot — http://xshot.com/, $30 — is a telescopic rod that attaches to digital cameras or handheld video cameras, allowing the shooter to be in the frame without stretching an arm out or asking a stranger to take the picture.” R.
