But for the perfect selfie, you need a selfie stick that’ll get the job done. There are tons available on sale, but don’t worry if you’re having trouble choosing. We’ve found the perfect selfie stick for you. And lucky for you, it’s most likely pretty close by.
So to help improve the quality of your selfies, ENTITY’s compiled a list of the selfie stick brands available from these four common retailers.
Special Features: The Pure Gear Bluetooth Selfie Stick from Walmart extends just over 33 inches. And the part of the stick your phone clips onto can turn 270 degrees. It also contains a built-in rechargeable battery, and it has bluetooth capability. It fits all phone widths and works on Android and iPhone.
Price: $6.99 (currently on sale from $19.99)
Customer Review: “I love it,” one customer simply said.
Cons: It only shoots landscape photos. So that cute outfit you just bought may be kind of hard to get in your shot.
Special Features: The XSORIES 37 ” Support System Selfie Stick from Best Buy extends, as the name implies, 37 inches. The swivel mount and added thumbscrew allow your camera to easily switch angles. Most compact cameras will fit on this selfie stick.
Price: $20.99 (currently on sale from $29.99)
Customer Review: “Nice, I like that it has a strap and clip for the belt. It’s lightweight and I’m looking forward to using it with my GoPro,” one reviewer said.
Cons: This one may cater to an older crowd. Instead of attaching to your smartphone, it attaches to an actual camera. You know, those things that we are pretty sure still exist.
Special Features: The Infinitive Selfie Stick from Walgreens extends up to 42 inches and also comes with a tripod mount. It’s compatible with Android, iPhone and Windows phones. It’s currently one of only two selfie sticks available at Walgreens. The other option didn’t have a price or reviews listed, so we didn’t include it here.
Price: $9.99
Customer Review: Unfortunately, there aren’t any reliable reviews for this product, so you may be taking a risk with this one.
Cons: This product doesn’t come with bluetooth capability.
Special Features: The ShutterStick Selfie Stick from Target extends up to 39 inches and comes with bluetooth capability. It works both for mobile phones and cameras.
Price: $19.99
Customer Review: “This was a very nice selfie stick that we purchased for our niece for Christmas. She is 11 years old. And it was very easy for her to figure out in use. It is a much better quality than some other cheapie selfie sticks. I would definitely recommend spending the extra money on this one as it is a lot more sturdy,” said one very happy customer.
Cons: It requires minimal self-assembly, so this may not be the product for you if you’re looking to just take it out of the package and use it right away.
What are you waiting for? Now it’s time to get out there, find a beautiful location (and some great lighting) and use your new selfie stick to get the perfect Instagram-worthy photo.
