INTRODUCING: SELFIE STICK; AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS TAKING PICTURES OF THEMSELVES USING ‘ARM EXTENDERS’

Spread the love

 Are you sick of the
awkward looking selfies that you take? Do not torture your friends and families
with your weird angled horrors. Use the Extendable Handheld Selfie Stick
instead. It is a trend that’s especially popular in Asia, including Indonesia,
but its fast gaining ground in Nigeria too.
It is like the
invisible photo taking companion that you never had.
The Extendable
Handheld Selfie Stick or monopod is a collapsible rod that looks and function
very much like the extendable pointers that public speakers use for
presentations. At the tip of the rod is an attachment for mounting a camera
with a tripod mount or the included adapter for mounting a smartphone. To bring
your selfies to the next level of photography, just attach your smartphone or
camera to the selfie stick, set the auto-timer on the camera, extend the stick
and put on your best pose.
Alternatively, you
can also use a remote camera trigger device with the selfie stick to give you
better control over your photos. iPhone users can try using the GabbaGoods
Selfie Camera Remote Shutter while Android users can use the Impulse Wireless
Controller or the Muku Shuttr Remote Control which support both iOS and Android
devices.

The selfie stick
will only work with compact digital cameras and the smartphone adapter will
only hold phones up to 2.6 inches wide. This fits all iPhones but not phones
with 5 inch display like the Samsung Galaxy S4 which is 2.75 inches wide for
example. For owners of large screen devices like the Samsung Galaxy S4/S5 or
Samsung Galaxy Note 2/3, you will need an additional tripod mount adapter that
support larger devices like the Square Jellyfish Tripod Mount or a similar
accessory.
When not in use,
the selfie stick collapses to just under 9 inches long.
