We had the great pleasure to meet Matt Gibson at the Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City, earlier this year. He was scouting the floors to find new innovative, versatile, travel-friendly products that would wow him and help people travel better with all the right tools and less baggage. People always wonder what to take on a trip, especially when gearing up for an outdoors adventure, where space and weight matters a lot. What to wear, what electronics, photography and tech accessory should I take, what’s new this year?
Thank you Matt for your enthusiasm for our new XShot Pro, we were excited to show it to you in Utah and stoked to see you adopting it right away, snowboarding with your GoPro Camera.

About the XShot Pro by Matt Gibson:
“This simple yet ingenious product is one of the most useful photo accessories I’ve ever come across. It’s a simple telescoping with a handle on one end and an attachment on the other end (they have models that can hold a GoPro, smartphone, or point-and-shoot camera) for taking selfies. The attachment on the end even has a ball-joint for full maneuverability. So simple, yet so useful for a person like me who travels alone frequently, but still wants some good photos for Facebook.”
