Have you ever been out with friends, or on vacation with family when you wanted to take a picture or video of yourself and everyone else together, and realized that you’d have to find someone to work the camera for you?

It’s really frustrating, and now with Christmas around the corner, it’s time you decided to change all of that headache.

An awesome tool that many bloggers and vloggers are using to make things a bit easier is the new XShot Camera Extender.

This thing can extend your camera reach up to 37 inches, which lets you in the picture as well.

The XShot was a big hit at IzeaFest this past year, when John Chow decided to play with it constantly after recieving one for free from a fellow blogger.

Here’s a video to illustrate just how it works:

I’ve already asked for one for Christmas, but if I don’t end up getting it as a present, it’s so cheap that I’ll probably buy it myself.
