About XShot
During a trip to France, Michael Daoud, the co-founder of XShot, found it difficult to take pictures
of him and his wife while sightseeing. Michael would hold the camera and extend his arm as far as possible to take
a picture of he and his wife but the result was always disappointing, especially if they were trying to capture the
background in the picture. The idea for the XShot came to Michael when he was at a park in front of the famous Louvre
Museum in Paris. Michael tried to capture a photo of him and his wife with the Louvre in the background but because
the camera was only at arm’s length and so close to Museum was in the picture.TM
Michael realized that if he could make his arm was a little longer he could take much better pictures. As a result
he came up with the idea of having a telescopic arm that could hold the camera and be extended to take a full picture
of the subjects and the background. Michael enlisted the help of his friend John Stump, an inventor and mechanical
engineer, and XShot was born. With XShot, taking a self-portrait looks like someone else took the picture, especially
because of the extended 37 inches of reach it provides. It's just amazing! Every time Michael and John tested XShot
with their families they were amazed at the great results. They knew that other travelers such as themselves would
love having an XShot along with them whether traveling around the world, hiking, out on a boat, or at simply at home
with the family. No more close-up mug shots! For more information please visit www.xshotpix.com 
XShot is a great photographic accessory that can be used for self-portraits while traveling, hiking, camping, attending weddings, parties and concerts. The XShot allows photographers to be a part of the memories they capture without the trouble of setting up tripods, finding surfaces to place their cameras, or extending their arms for mediocre photographs. The XShot is also a great device for video diaries and fun 3D video effects.
