Are you looking for a selfie stick? A selfie stick is an elongated stick on which you can attach a smartphone, camera or action cam. This is very useful when you want to take a photo with a different perspective. In addition, it can also ensure that you can create a wider image. For example, when taking a group photo. This means that you are less likely to have some people who do not fit on it. Selfie sticks come in many different shapes and sizes. For example, you also have selfie sticks with legs underneath so that you can put the selfie stick down and take a photo at a distance. A selfie stick can be used excellently when creating different types of content. For example, you can use it very well to film yourself while exercising, such as snowboarding. By using a selfie stick you create a kind of 3rd person view, which can give your video a dynamic effect.
The biggest advantage of taking photos or videos with a selfie stick is that you can use a perspective. This gives your photo or video a unique look. Some selfie sticks are even 3 meters long. This makes it almost look like you took the photo with a drone. Because your device is further away from your subject, you can also get more in the frame with a selfie stick. This also makes it a lot easier to take group photos, because everyone fits easily in the frame.
In addition, it is also much more comfortable to hold a selfie stick than a phone. Selfie sticks are designed in such a way that they are also comfortable to hold for longer periods of time. This also makes it easy to vlog or film with your phone or camera for longer periods of time, without your hand cramping.
Finally, you can attach a phone holder or something else to a selfie stick. This often has a cold shoe mount on it. This allows you to easily attach photo or video accessories to your phone. For example, you can attach a video light to it, which will illuminate your image much better, so that you can create even better content.
In principle, selfie sticks are relatively simple products. However, there are a number of things you should take into account when purchasing a selfie stick.
The length of a selfie stick is one of the most important aspects of a selfie stick. This determines what kind of photos and videos you can take with a selfie stick. With a selfie stick of 1.60m you can get a little more in the picture than with your arm, which makes it ideal for group photos. A selfie stick of 3m creates a completely different image. This makes it almost seem like you took a photo with a drone, while it is just a selfie stick.
In addition to length, you should also pay attention to the material of a selfie stick. Selfie sticks are mainly made of plastic, aluminum or carbon. Plastic is often the cheapest, but also the least sturdy material, which makes it break faster. Aluminum is a lot stronger than plastic, but also a bit more expensive. Aluminum only weighs a lot more than plastic, which makes it less easy to carry. For example, you wouldn't want an aluminum selfie stick of 3 meters. That would be much too heavy. Finally, you have carbon. Carbon is very sturdy and also light. This makes it a good material for selfie sticks. The big disadvantage of carbon is that it is very expensive.
Are you planning to use your selfie stick as a kind of tripod? Then it is best to purchase a selfie stick tripod, because these have legs underneath, so that you can put your selfie stick down. Of course, this adds extra weight. There are also selfie sticks where you can put legs on, but you can also take them off again. This saves weight and you can choose to only put them on when you actually need the legs.
Selfie sticks have different types of connections. Some selfie sticks only have a ¼'' screw connection. You then have to attach a phone or camera holder yourself. Other selfie sticks already have a phone holder mounted on them. Some selfie sticks also come with a GoPro adapter, so you can immediately mount your action cam on your selfie stick.
Selfie sticks are mainly used in combination with a smartphone. Smartphones can now also shoot excellent images, which sometimes makes a camera unnecessary, especially for hobby use.
Selfie sticks can be used well in combination with an iPhone. You can easily attach an iPhone to a selfie stick with a phone holder. There are also selfie sticks and phone holders that have a MagSafe magnet. This makes it even easier to attach your selfie stick to your selfie stick. An example of a MagSafe phone holder that you can attach to a selfie stick is, for example, the Ulanzi MA47.
Selfie sticks are also compatible with Samsung phones. This is because most selfie sticks with phone holder can hold a phone with a width of up to 9 cm. This means that all Samsung phones can be used with these selfie sticks. A separate phone holder that you could place on top of a selfie stick is for example the MOJOGEAR Premium phone holder.
When you use a selfie stick, you obviously can't reach your phone. This means you need a remote control to control your phone. Some selfie sticks have a built-in Bluetooth remote control to control your phone. An example of this is the Ulanzi SK-03. Other selfie sticks often come with a separate remote control and sometimes you have to order this separately. Make sure that the remote control is compatible with your device.
