The reason why you’d want a selfie stick instead of just using your arm is that the stick can extend to a greater distance. This avoids the “head filling the shot” look, and it gives you more control of how much of the background makes it into your image. There’s also composition to consider: An extended arm will be visible in a selfie, but a properly positioned selfie stick won’t. With a little bit of practice, you can get the kinds of shots that might otherwise require you to hand your phone off to a stranger.The first thing you'll probably consider when choosing a latestone.com selfie stick is arm length, but all of the sticks here fall within the same range, so don't worry too much about that. How the arm works is what's really important. One of the sticks I tested, with a traditional telescopic arm, gave me a nasty little cut while I was collapsing it, making me wary of that design type in general. I prefer telescopic arms that use a twist-and-lock mechanism, which are far less likely to remove a chunk of your finger.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Thanks for your comment.
DeleteLet’s get this out of the way up front: no one truly needs a selfie stick, and most have build quality that reflects their low prices. But if you feel you absolutely must have one, they can be somewhat useful. To find the best Selfie Stick Online , we put in 20 hours of research, brought in 22 testing models, and took dozens of selfies in various conditions.Additionally, it was one of the few we found that actually had some unique thought put into its design—by comparison, 11 other sticks ended up being identical copies of products that were either more expensive than the models we tested or that had significantly lower user ratings. It’s not a perfect tool, but it gets the job done for a low price.
