We've also opted to replace the KobraTech Mini with the UBeesize 12 Inch they're quite similar, but the latter has slightly better construction and so is better for the long term. Both options have Bluetooth remotes incorporated into their handles, which can be removed for shooting at a distance or left in to use the devices as regular selfie sticks.īecause of occasional issues with long-term durability, we have decided to remove the Maono AU Z04, as well as the Accmor AC-13TR and the LifeStyle Designs 4-in-1 due to availability problems. The latter doesn't offer such an impressive reach, but, as such, is more compact and easy to carry on your person.

For example, the former has a long reach, to help capture more scenery or subjects and makes a good regular tripod for filming in low light or for large panoramas (something that is even more useful given the major improvements in mobile lens technology). These are both similar enough in features, but useful in different scenarios. We also liked the Atumtek 51-Inch and the Yoozon Bluetooth. Each of these has a number of different brightness settings, ensuring you get just the right illumination when promoting products or speaking to the camera. When updating our list, a few items caught our eye, starting with the UBeesize 10-Inch that looks like the outer edge of a vanity mirror with its multifunctional ring lamp, which bathes the subject in three different tones of light. Most of the items we've included in our ranking also include a wireless remote, so you can activate the shutter at your leisure and take multiple shots as desired, instead of waiting for the countdown timer and hoping that nobody is misbehaving. Putting a little distance between you and the camera can not only fix these issues, but it also can result in a more natural-looking photo that is less contrived, without you and your friends beaming directly into the lens at close quarters. Sometimes you go to take a selfie and your arms are simply too short to either capture the whole group or to leave both subject and background in focus.
