With recent advancements in camera tech, some of the things selfies sticks are helpful for (like capturing large groups and making breath-taking travel photos a breeze) may be obsolete, but that doesn't mean that they still aren't useful. Selfie sticks also help memorialize moments where you may not have anyone else around to snap a picture for you. The Mpow iSnap X is our pick for best overall. It's easy to maneuver and can extend up to 31.5 inches making your device able to capture your entire surroundings. This selfie stick will allow your photos to reach new heights! The best part is that this model becomes 7.1 inches when compacted, allowing for easy portability! The best sticks allow you to take amazing photos anywhere, any time and with or without anyone.

As one of the cheaper Bluetooth compatible options, the 7.1” storage length is friendly for your bag, your suitcase or even your jeans pocket. At 31.5 inches when fully extended, it’s more than long enough to capture you and the landscape for that perfect Instagram shot or for almost every situation. The included wrist strap adds a little extra security and safety when fully extended. The 4.7-star rating and positive reviews have helped move the Mpow into the No. 1 best seller category on Amazon. "One criticism was that during testing a small amount of wobble was apparent when the Mpow was extended to its full length." — Emily Isaacs, Product Tester Lifewire / Emily Isaacs Best for GoPro: BlitzWolf BS3 Selfie Stick

That’s why finding a durable and waterproof model that can take you from land to sea is so important. The BlitzWolf BS3 selfie stick offers excellent durability and versatility for the most daring traveler. The super secure mount can fit most GoPro Heros, and the lightweight rust-resistant anodized aluminum pole and 100 percent waterproof materials are tough enough to withstand total immersion (even in saltwater). Just make sure you remove the handy Bluetooth remote before diving, as it's the one piece of the BS3 package that's not watertight. The pole adjusts from 7.8 inches to 26.7 inches, allowing for breathtaking panorama shots. If you need a selfie stick that can take you from the coral reefs off the coast of Australia to snowcapped mountains in Colorado, the BS3 is the perfect pick. It comes with an aluminum tripod mount with nonslip foot pads, so you can capture your adventures in some of the most difficult terrain on the planet. Best Budget: JETech Bluetooth Selfie Stick

The adjustable clamp holds your phone securely in place with rubber grips and has a 270° rotation, so that you can take the perfect picture at any angle. This model also has Bluetooth capabilities, so it can easily sync to your phone. You can snap aerial shots and beautiful selfies easily with a press of a button on the non-slip handle, and there's even an LED fill light and mirror on the rear of the mounting head. At an extremely affordable price, the JETech Selfie Stick is perfect for anyone looking to try out the selfie stick craze on their next vacation. "Its compact nature makes it incredibly versatile, easy to store in a purse, tote, or coat pocket, and the battery-free feature means you never have to worry about running out of a charge." — Emily Isaacs, Product Tester Lifewire / Emily Isaacs What to Look For in a Selfie Stick
Waterproofness
If you plan to paddle down fierce rivers or snorkel in the sea, you’ll want a selfie stick that can keep up with your adventures. Look for a waterproof model that can withstand total immersion —bonus points if it can take a dunk in salt water, too. Stick Length
Obviously, you’ll want a selfie stick that extends far enough to capture those panoramic views behind you. Some sticks extend as far as 49 inches, though most range from 32 to 36 inches. It’s not all about length, though. If you’re traveling with a selfie stick, you’ll want to be sure it collapses to a manageable size as well. Bluetooth Compatibility
While most selfie sticks have a hardwired button you can press to take a photo, Bluetooth compatibility takes it to a whole other level. After a simple pairing, you can use a remote button to snap a picture, giving you much more freedom. Was this page helpful? Thanks for letting us know!
