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. They plug into your iPhone headphone socket and the button on the selfie stick acts as the shutter button for the iPhone camera. They work on Android phones as well.

The winner is the Looq DG ($20 from Amazon). Continue reading to find out why.

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’s sturdy

• 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).

The selfie stick plugs into the iPhone and the button on the stick controls your iPhone camera.

I can see lots of uses for one of these: taking a photo or video in an awkward place that you can’t get, e.g. under a car, getting higher or closer to something to take a photo. It really is just a hand held extension for your phone with a shutter control. You could even use it for a selfie!
