What is a Selfie Stick?

A selfie stick is a handheld device that extends your reach when taking a photo or selfie. Selfie sticks can be used either with a smartphone or a digital camera mounted on the end of the stick. The selfie stick was invented in Australia in the mid-2000s and quickly became a huge hit worldwide. Selfie sticks are typically made of lightweight aluminium and extend to a height of up to 40 inches. At the end of the stick, you’ll find a button that allows you to extend the stick even further. Most selfie sticks also come with a Bluetooth remote control so that you can take pictures from a distance without having to hold the selfie stick.

Selfie sticks are great for taking group photos or selfies when you are travelling. They are also helpful for scenic shots where you want to include more of the background. At B&H Photo Video you can find a vast selection of Selfie Sticks / Camera Poles from top brands like TELESIN, PGYTECH, Bower and DJ.

Features to Consider When Choosing a Selfie Stick

There are a few key features to consider when choosing a selfie stick. This will ensure you end up with the best selfie stick for your needs. Here, B&H Photo specialists take a closer look at the key features to look for when choosing the best selfie stick:

- Maximum Extendable Length - The maximum extendable length of the selfie stick will determine how far away you can take a selfie. If you’re looking to take group photos or scenic shots, you’ll need an extendable selfie stick. When choosing a selfie stick, make sure that it is long enough to extend past your needs. You don’t want to be limited by the length of your selfie stick. If you need to take a selfie from a distance, you want to make sure that your selfie stick is long enough to do the job. Selfie sticks range from as short as 9 inches to as long as 40 inches. That’s a pretty big difference!

Weight - The weight of the selfie stick is also something to consider. Heavier selfie sticks are usually sturdier and will last longer. But they can also be more difficult to carry around and use. Lighter selfie sticks are easier to carry, but they may not be as sturdy and last as long.
