*Is the pole heavy?
The whole system, including the pole, is very lightweight at 3.5 lbs.

Carefully detach the camera using the quick release mount. USB cable connects directly to your computer. You may open or save the files.

The Parabolic Hood is necessary to increase the point to point WiFi connection between the camera and the Smart device.
