I was skiing last week and noticed quite a few people using ‘selfie sticks’. You may love selfies, you may hate selfies, but these selfie sticks are actually quite a cool piece of hardware.

The winner is the Looq DG ($20 from Amazon). Continue reading to find out why.
I’m giving one away so if you’d like to be in the chance to win your own Looq DG selfie stick just leave a comment below letting me know where I’ve hidden a picture of a green looq DG selfie stick. (It’s hidden in an old article!) The first person to find it will win it.
So what’s a good selfie stick to get?
Well over at thewirecutter.com they have done a test of 22 selfie sticks. It’s a great review, and their winner is the Looq DG ($20 from Amazon) for the following reasons:

- It folds up the shortest and extends the longest.
- It requires no batteries. (It doesn’t use bluetooth because it plugs in to your phone).
