![]() But I do like having photos from trips and of my family together. I’m not one to take a lot of photos of myself. ![]() In addition to taking photos with the iSnap Y, it will do videos as well. It also can rotate around, almost 360 degrees. The part that holds the phone is very adjustable with a spring-loaded clamp. It won’t work with Windows phones or Blackberries, sorry, but it works with newer Android, iPhone (back to iPhone 4), and iPod Touch. It handled both my iPhone 5s and Rory’s iPhone 6 Plus. It can accommodate phones of various sizes, including those with a width of 2.2 inches to 3.3 inches, from an iPhone 4 up to a Samsung Note 4. It telescopes out 32 inches, or you can leave it shorter, and folds up to a tidy 7 1/2 inches. There is a handy dandy wrist strap that will cinch down over your wrist (though if you drop a telescoped selfie stick, no guarantees on what happens to your phone). The handle is very grippy, feels nice, with texture for easy holding. It quickly charges up in 30-90 minutes with the included USB charging cable and then has a working time of up to 20 hours. What’s the iSnap Y like? It’s a Bluetooth device with the easiest pairing process I’ve ever seen, no password necessary. The iSnap Y is now on our permanent list of things to take with us when we travel. Not only is it built extremely well, but we keep coming up with new ways to use it. I got to try out the Mpow iSnap Y Bluetooth Self-portrait Monopod (AKA selfie stick) and was very pleased. So needless to say, before just recently, I had zero experience with selfie sticks. ![]() Mpow iSnap Y Bluetooth Self-portrait Monopod As someone who is only 5’5″ (not short, but not tall by any means), I wonder where this kind of device has been my whole life. Or use it to see what’s on a shelf you can’t reach. With the stick’s phone holder being adjustable to many different angles, you can hold it above your head for a photo of something you can’t see because you’re too short. I posit the argument that there is a solid place in our society for selfie sticks.Īlso, you need to think outside the box here. What if they want to get more people in the picture, and more than half their face? What if they’re trying to get the background in as well? What if they don’t want to ask a stranger (or one isn’t available) to take a photo of them in front of the Eiffel Tower? If you’re the type of person to relentlessly take selfies, that is the thing to be annoyed with, not the fact that someone uses a stick to do it. Why do people hate them so much? How is using a stick to get more than just your face in your picture worse than not using a stick? I don’t understand what the big deal is with selfie sticks.
