Selfie Stick?

[cwbabe48]

With the ease of just using my iPhone 6 for pictures and the fun of selfies, has anyone had any experience using a selfie stick on the cruise? Your opinions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If you do a search on live reviews by a poster named Radio, you will see some examples of photos taken with a selfie stick.

I love my selfie stick! I used it with my gopro on our Oasis cruise and was so happy with my it. Here is an example...you get a lot more of the background.

I have this one with integrated Bluetooth. Expands over 40 inches. Works great with iphone or android phones. very sturdy with locking tabs on each extension section.

I just bought one from amazon for my upcoming cruise. I have an iPhone 6 (with a tech21 case) and it fits my iPhone great. I bought the first one listed when you search "selfie stick" the mpow isnap.

Does the stick compact for carrying when not in use?

Thanks

If you want to bring one...go ahead!

Ive not used the bluetooth on my phone, guess I need to educate myself on using the stick with my iPhone 6. I like the spur of the moment want to take a selfie and am concerned the stick will be cumbersome. Any help would be great.

Thanks

I love my selfie stick, although it embarrassed our teen. There are four quick steps to use it.

 

1. Place the phone in the holder.

2. Put the plug in the phone's headphone jack.

3. Open the Looq app on your smartphone.

4. Extend the handle, get a good shot, and click the button!

 

It takes about fifteen seconds. And the stick folds down small enough to put in my purse. Mine fits my iphone 6 in its case.

Please tell me which one you have, thank you so much.

I have the official Selfie Stick by Looq.

The selfie stick must be stopped. Not enough bandwidth and HD storage for the extra pix that will continue to ensue. ;-)

I just bought the iTech unit shown below for $3CAD plus sales tax in a Dollarama store here in Ontario to get the monopod for use with our digital cameras. As you can see it came with a spring clamp type phone mount. Monopod has screw mount for camera/phone holder and even has a screw hole in handle so it can be mounted on a tripod. Monopod extends from 8" to 37", has a nice rubber handle and is made from light weight aluminum with a plastic bracket and steel screw shafts.

Here's a link to a youtube video on the iTech kit above. The one I got didn't come with the small tripod but appears to be the same other wise. Price mentioned in video was 5.95 GBP which is almost 4X what I paid for this kit.

Size matters?
