Which selfie sticks do you use?
I use an old selfie stick that my dad gave me a couple years ago. It was pretty cheap, so I don’t mind if it gets broken or lost. I also like that it can be collapsed for easier storage in my backpack. And since it’s black, it matches everything! The only downside is that there’s no Bluetooth shutter—you have to rely on triggering your phone’s camera with a button on one end of the stick.
