Every day more and more people become fans of social networks. Here everyone can choose the settings to their taste, but almost all profiles are offered to set a photo. In the news feed of social networks, users are used to sharing parts of their lives and posting a lot of photos. One of the most popular ways to take a photo is selfie. For those who are not yet familiar with this concept, we explain: a selfie is photographing oneself.
Selfie
There are several types of such a photo: in the mirror or using the front camera. But it often happens that when holding a phone, tablet, camera or other device in your hand, you cannot capture the entire background on which you want to take a beautiful photo. Or, say, a very large group of friends want to take a picture, but not everyone fits into the frame.
Then the selfie stick comes to the rescue. Another name for the device is a monopod. So, which phones are suitable for a selfie stick and what kind of miracle invention is this? We will talk about this in the article.
Varietiesfixtures
Before answering the question of which phones a selfie stick is suitable for, you need to determine the type of device you are going to buy or already have. And there are also several varieties of monopod. Let's briefly talk about the most popular of them.
Simple tripod
The first type of monopod to be discussed is a tripod. In fact, this is an ordinary stick, made of more or less durable material with a device for fixing the phone at the end. In general, these are all its advantages, if you do not take into account the fact that such a selfie stick will cost quite cheap compared to electronic devices. But for a budget option, it is very suitable.
However, be prepared for the fact that every time you want to take a picture, you will have to set a timer on the camera. What's good is that you can use such a tripod even if you don't have a modern gadget and you use a simple phone with a camera or a camera.
The gadget is fixed from above and below, but it is worth warning that the device may fall out, so it is better to keep it horizontally and try not to rotate it. These are the limitations that this selfie stick assumes. For which phones is this object suitable? Pretty much anything, as long as it can be attached to the end of a tripod, and preferably a timer on the camera.
Stick with button
Represents the same tripod, but inIncluded is a small remote control with two buttons. Which phones are suitable for a selfie stick with a button? In this case, there are nuances, because this product is far from suitable for all devices. To understand whether your device is compatible with this model, you need to clarify this circumstance directly at the place of purchase from competent people. For example, from sales assistants, if the monopod is purchased at an electronics store or a mobile phone store.
It is strongly not recommended to order a selfie stick on unfamiliar sites or without the possibility of a return, because the client risks that the monopod and gadget will be incompatible, respectively, the selfie stick will not work.
But back to the remote control. It has two buttons as standard - one for Android devices, the other for iOS. It is important not to confuse when photographing something at a crucial moment.
The photographer's hands will be constantly busy, because in addition to the tripod itself, you need to hold the remote control and press the button. We suggest that you make sure in advance that the gadget is equipped with a data transfer function via Bluetooth. The connection between the monopod and the device is carried out precisely through it. The price of the device is also low. As a reminder, it's important to know which phones are compatible with this type of selfie stick.
Stick with wire
The price of such a device is slightly higher than the previous two types. At the same time, the monopod is much more practical and more convenient to use. A wire comes out of it, which must be inserted into the headphone jack. Which phones are suitable for a selfie stick withwire? For almost everyone that has a headphone jack, but it's still best to check with the seller. Name the model of your device and you will be given an answer to this question. You can also read on the package what devices the monopod is compatible with.
There is no longer a separate remote control here, and the button is located right on the tripod. The device does not need charging and any additions. Selfies can be taken with one hand. Users have found another advantage of this monopod. When it’s cold outside, and your hands are in gloves, then in order to take a photo, you don’t want to take them at all. This selfie stick will come to the rescue. For which phones it is suitable, you can find out in the instructions or from consultants, but for the most part - for everyone.
Monopod with button on tripod without wires
The name says it all. The device has no wires, it works via Bluetooth. Basically, on such devices there are not two, but three mounts, so the gadget should not fall out. Of the minuses, it can be noted that the monopod needs to be charged, but the work from one charge is quite long. Its price is also an order of magnitude higher than that of previous models. We can say that this is the most popular selfie stick among users. What phones are suitable for? For almost all models of gadgets with Bluetooth support.
