The 9 Best Selfie Sticks for Smartphones, from Extendable to Bluetooth

Taking selfies is nothing new – both men and women of all ages will find any excuse to take a photo of themselves, sometimes including other people, animals and scenery at the same time.

When it came to taking a group shot, someone used to have to sacrifice being out of the shot in order to take the picture. The only other way to get a complete group picture was for someone running off with your camera as you all stand there smiling. Thanks to the selfie stick for your smartphone (which really are cameras more than phones), no longer does the phone have to leave your hand in order to get a good shot.

Although the theory of selfie sticks sounds simple enough (it is a stick that takes a selfie for you), one look at Amazon will reveal many brands and types all claiming to be responsible for the next best selfie. Here is our guide to the best 9 selfie sticks for smartphones.
