In Defense of the Selfie Stick

People say selfie sticks are rather silly, if not narcissistic. I don’t know, I find it a helpful aid for taking pictures and not just with my smart phone which has a rather crappy camera. The Selfie Stick not only provides a better angle for taking pictures or videos of myself, it also provides a handy mount for holding the camera, allowing me to get it up higher and more to where I want to take pictures. It allows me to hold the camera, focus in on myself when talking and making videos. Or even hang it out of a fire tower or other structure, where I couldn’t reach without the selfie stick.

I think I paid $16 including tax for my β€œOriginal Selfie Stick” at Walmart. I probably could have gotten it cheaper on the Internet, but it does what I need and some stuff I don’t need like a bluetooth control button. It seems fairly sturdy, and I expect I will get quite a bit of use it out of it during the next few years, especially are continue to make up more videos which I will share on Youtube and other places.
