This is nothing but basically an extended arm to help you click a selfie from a much longer length than that of your arm’s. Most selfie sticks are compact and can be elongated like a radio antenna. They have a mount to fix your phone at one end along with a jack which connects the button on the handle.

2. E.L.F.I.E Mirror

You wouldn’t want to be untidy in front of this mirror because remember this doesn’t care if you are in your best or not, it will simply click a pic.

3. Selfie Remote Control

Taking a selfie is not always an easy task. We often risk our phones slipping off our hands to find the best angle and or you just can’t reach the shutter button with your hands stretched out to their limit.
