Are you on the hunt for a new selfie stick? A selfie stick is an extendable pole where you can attach a smartphone, camera, or action cam. It's incredibly handy when you want to capture a photo from a different perspective. It also allows you to get a much wider shot, which is perfect for taking group photos. This way, you're less likely to find that someone's been left out of the picture. Selfie sticks come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. For instance, you can find selfie sticks with built-in legs, turning them into a tripod for taking photos from a distance. A selfie stick is an excellent tool for creating all sorts of content. It's great for filming yourself during sports, such as snowboarding. Using a selfie stick creates a 'third-person' view, giving your videos a dynamic and professional feel.
The main advantage of taking photos or videos with a selfie stick is the unique perspective it offers. This can give your shots a distinctive look. Some selfie sticks can even extend up to 3 metres long, making it look as though your photo was taken with a drone. Because you can position your device further away from the subject, a selfie stick helps you fit more into the frame. This makes it much easier to take group photos, ensuring everyone fits in comfortably.
On top of that, holding a selfie stick is far more comfortable than holding a phone for a long time. Selfie sticks are designed with an ergonomic grip, making them comfortable to hold for extended periods. This means you can vlog or film with your phone or camera for longer, without your hand getting tired or cramping up.
Finally, you can attach a phone holder or other accessories to a selfie stick. Many of these come with a cold shoe mount, allowing you to easily add photo or video gear to your setup. For example, you could attach a video light to better illuminate your scene, helping you create even better content.
In general, selfie sticks are fairly simple gadgets. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when you decide to purchase one.
The length of a selfie stick is one of its most important features. This determines the kind of photos and videos you can create. A 1.6-metre stick gives you just that bit more reach than your arm, making it ideal for group shots. A 3-metre selfie stick, on the other hand, creates a completely different effect, producing a view that looks almost as if it were captured by a drone.
Besides length, you should also consider the material of the selfie stick. They are mainly made from plastic, aluminium, or carbon. Plastic is often the cheapest but also the least durable material, meaning it can break more easily. Aluminium is much stronger than plastic, but also a bit more expensive. However, aluminium weighs more, making it less convenient to carry around. You probably wouldn't want a 3-metre selfie stick made of aluminium as it would be far too heavy. Finally, there's carbon. Carbon is very strong and also lightweight, which makes it a great material for selfie sticks. The main drawback of carbon is that it's quite pricey.
Are you planning to use your selfie stick as a tripod as well? In that case, it’s best to get a selfie stick tripod. These have legs built in, so you can set your selfie stick down on any flat surface. This does, of course, add extra weight. There are also selfie sticks with detachable legs. This saves weight and gives you the choice to only attach them when you actually need them.
Selfie sticks come with different types of connections. Some are only equipped with a ¼” screw thread, which means you'll need to attach your own phone or camera holder. Other selfie sticks have a phone holder already built-in. Some models also come with a GoPro adapter, so you can mount your action cam straight onto the stick.
Selfie sticks are most commonly used with a smartphone. Modern smartphones can capture brilliant images and video, which sometimes makes a separate camera unnecessary, especially for casual use.
Selfie sticks work very well with an iPhone. You can easily attach an iPhone to a selfie stick using a phone holder. There are also selfie sticks and phone holders that feature a MagSafe magnet. This makes mounting your iPhone onto the selfie stick even easier. An example of a MagSafe phone holder you can attach to a selfie stick is the Ulanzi MA47.
Selfie sticks are also compatible with Samsung phones. This is because most selfie sticks with a phone holder can accommodate a phone up to 9 cm wide. This means that all current Samsung phones can be used with these selfie sticks. A separate phone holder that you could place on top of a selfie stick is the MOJOGEAR Premium Phone Holder, for example.
When you’re using a selfie stick, your phone is out of reach. That’s why you need a remote control to operate it. Some selfie sticks have a built-in Bluetooth remote that allows you to control your phone. An example of this is the Ulanzi SK-03. Other selfie sticks often come with a separate remote, and sometimes you have to buy one separately. Just make sure the remote is compatible with your device.
