How many times have you found yourself with the perfect photo opportunity and you didn’t have anyone to take a picture of your whole group? I bet you found yourself frustrated by the fact that one of you couldn’t be in the picture because he was taking the picture. I know my family has been stuck in that predicament many times. I will never be in that situation ever again though now that I have discovered the Xshot, a mechanism that extends your camera out, up to 37 inches, but close up to only 9 inches!
Michael Daoud was in France sightseeing when he realized just how hard it was to get a good picture of he and his wife without asking a stranger to take one. He tried extending his own arm, while holding his camera, and taking the picture that way but very little of the background he was trying so hard to capture was in his pictures. “If only my arm was a little bit longer,” he thought. He asked his friend John Stump who was an inventor and mechanical engineer for some help and together they developed the Xshot. The Xshot truly does take a picture that makes it seem as if someone else has taken the picture.
I took my Xshot to Disney with us because I knew I wanted shots of all of us in front of Cinderella’s Castle and various spots throughout the park. The Xshot was easy to use and I had so many people asking about it. I could tell they were wishing they had one as well!
Xshot would like to give away an Xshot to one of our Disney fans so they too can capture their memories!!!
1. Visit the Xshot site and tell me one fact about the Xshot that you learned on the site that I didn’t share with you here.
2. Tell me one place you have already visited that you wished you would have had an Xshot when you were taking pictures.
3. Here is your chance to leave an extra 5 comments. Tell me up to 5 different places you would like to visit and take your Xshot. One place per comment!
