Today we will talk about choosing such a device, already so familiar to a modern person, as a selfie stick, or a monopod for a smartphone (it is sometimes called a “hoe”). Let's talk about how to choose a selfie stick for your phone, on which you can install not only a smartphone, but also a small camera. Such a device will come in handy when traveling for memorable photos. With the help of a good monopod, you can make a good video report. We hope that our tips will be useful to you. Consider the main selection criteria in more detail.
Camera shutter button
There are 2 types of camera shutter mechanisms - wireless and wired. Both options have their advantages and disadvantages, so which option to choose is a matter of personal preference.
As for the differences, here's what they are:
- The wired mechanism involves the use of a special wire with a plug, which is inserted into the socket of a mobile gadget. The handle of the monopod is equipped with a button. The shutter is released when the button is pressed.
- The wireless mechanism involves the use of a Bluetooth button on the handle of a selfie stick or a remote control. It works on “tablets” (AA batteries) or a built-in battery. The advantage of such a device is that it works from a distance. It is possible not just to press the start button, but also to adjust the focus, switch from the rear camera to the front, select a photo or video mode.
Fastening
If you are thinking about how to choose a selfie stick, the reliability of fixing the phone is perhaps the main requirement for a monopod. The more rubberized inserts the stick is equipped with, the more reliable this mount is.
Important! This criterion can only be verified by practice. Ask the seller to fix the mobile device on the stick and shake it.
stick material
Try, with a little effort, bend the structure. If the stick is bent, like a rod, it is better not to buy it. As in the case just described, testing with a smartphone is mandatory. The pipe should not bend under the weight of the gadget.
Important! If you plan to shoot underwater, choose a waterproof device. Its cost is higher, compared with the ordinary model, by about 20%. But, accordingly, the phone itself must meet such requirements. Ours will help you choose the best option.
Dimensions and weight
Ideally, if the monopod is placed in a bag, therefore, it is irrational to purchase a device that is too long. Especially if you are going on a trip, where it is better to take a minimum of things.
Important! It is desirable that the handle be made of rubberized or soft plastic. In this case, it will not slide. Handles equipped with special loops are also convenient.
Smartphone tilt
The special mechanism of the selfie stick (2D or 3D heads) provides rotation of the mobile device along two (2D) or three (3D) axes. Some models have ball heads, similar to those that are equipped with camera tripods.
Ease of use
Almost all models of selfie sticks are laid out according to the telescopic principle (sections are extended “one from the other”). In inexpensive monopods, over time, the sections begin to scroll due to the severity of smartphones. To avoid this, high-quality models are equipped with length clamps, and special grooves are applied to the tripod.
The total length of the products depends on the number of sections:
- In five-section models, the length of the device is 0.75-1.0 m.
- In six- to seven-section models, the total length of the device varies between 0.8-1.2 m.
Important! The shorter each of the sections and the greater their number, the greater the control possibilities.

Today, probably, you will not surprise anyone with a monopod. Indeed, selfie sticks make it much easier to take great photos without outside help, and what impressive videos the advanced users get! That is why today we decided to dedicate this post to selfie sticks. Today we will talk about what selfie sticks are, what these sticks are for, where to buy a monopod and what you need to pay attention to when buying a manual “tripod”.
A little theory about Salfie sticks
Basically, according to their purpose, monopods are divided into two categories: for smartphones and cameras, but there are also universal ones. From a structural point of view, these sticks are: long, short, wired and wireless (work on Bluetooth or WiFi frequency), there are even waterproof ones. Well, if you are going to buy a monopod, then first of all you should pay attention to what it will be intended for.
If you are going to buy a monopod for a smartphone, then first of all you should pay attention to attaching the smartphone to the selfie stick. Then decide for yourself whether it will be wired (with a 3.5 mm plug that is inserted into the headphone jack) or wireless. In any case, there are pros and cons.
In the case of a wireless selfie stick, you need to take into account the fact that it needs to be infected from time to time, and it can be discharged at the right time. Even if this happens, you should not be too upset, as you can always use the timer function on your smartphone. Another important point, such gadgets are afraid of water, on the other hand, who will dive into the water with a smartphone, but still.
As for wired monopods, there are some nuances here. A huge plus is that they do not need to be charged and they are not afraid of water (in most cases). But there are also disadvantages: not all monopods will work correctly with a smartphone. All because of the 3.5mm connector, and this is due to its design. For example, selfie sticks designed for iPhone won't work with Android devices, or vice versa. Therefore, before buying, you need to check with the seller whether this monopod will work with your smartphone. An equally important point is the wire, which can break over time due to a huge number of bends, but, as in the first case, smartphones have a timer.
Otherwise, when you need a monopod for your camera, in this case, I would pay attention to the material from which the selfie stick is made. Why, yes, everything is simple, for sure, sooner or later you will dive into the water with a camera (this applies to action cameras), and perhaps you will relax on the sea. And everything would be fine if not for the salt. Yes, it is salt, in the case when the material is not of high quality, your stick will quickly lose its performance, the material may succumb to corrosion.
Now let's get acquainted with the list of the best selling and best monopods. In our rating, two types of selfie sticks are combined for both smartphones and cameras. And let's start from the end.
10th place: Tomkas monopod
This selfie stick is very popular among female users, and for good reason. It really deserves the title of the best monopod as it is made of aluminum alloy and silicone handle. When folded, its length is only 18.5 cm, and the maximum length is gaining 82 cm, and this is with a weight of only 125 grams. This stick is wired and works with all Android smartphones, as well as iPhone 5 and 6.
9th place: Tomkas monopod
Practically this gadget is identical to the previous one, only got a more elegant design. The material from which the telescopic tubes are made is aluminum alloy. The handle is rubberized, so it fits perfectly in the hand. It is 18.5 cm long when folded, and 67 cm when unfolded. Why is it the best from the previous one? Its weight is only 117 grams, and without losing its strength. This selfie stick is supported by both Android devices and iPhone.
8th place: Usams monopod
Unlike previous sticks, this selfie stick has got a mirror, which allows you to use the main camera and get better pictures. But it is only suitable for iPhone owners. Nevertheless, it is quite compact, when folded, its length does not exceed 13.5 cm, and it unfolds to a length of 60 cm, and this is not taking into account the smartphone holder. This device weighs 130 grams. Another advantage of the gadget is water resistance.
7th place: Vamson monopod
Selfie stick, which is perfect for extreme lovers. It is designed only for action cameras and is able to withstand heavy loads. Well, the monopod is made of high-strength material, when folded, its length is approximately 18 cm, and when unfolded, it reaches up to 60 cm. Since this is a very durable Salfie stick, its weight has slightly increased to 145 grams. The color of the stick is completely black, the only thing that changes color is its plug at the bottom.
6th place: Sjcam monopod
Another selfie stick designed for action cameras and their enthusiasts. Perhaps many could not even think that not a little-known manufacturer of budget action cameras, Sjcam, has its own selfie stick. Until today, I didn't know either. And yet, let's move on to its main characteristics, and this is: the length when folded is 22 cm, the maximum length is 80 cm and the monopod weighs 130 grams.
5th place: Vodool monopod
This time we present to your attention another selfie stick for action cameras. This stick does its job well and is loved by GoPro owners. Our minimum length is 29.5 cm, while the maximum is 90 cm, but despite its size, it weighs 120 grams. The monopod consists of three reliable telescopic tubes. Reliability, low price, versatility all refer to this selfie stick.
4th place: Benro monopod
Well, let's go further and now a more interesting selfie stick, but the price for it is not small, but I am ready to give that kind of money for its functionality. Let's start with the price - $ 19 is its cost. Now why is it worth the money! Firstly, it is 3 in 1: a monopod, a tripod and a camera control panel. Secondly, it can be used with both cameras and smartphones. Thirdly, for smartphones, there is a mirror on the mount itself (on the back), which allows you to use the main camera. But the benefits of the Benro selfie stick don't stop there. The monopod is made of quality materials and has an excellent design, the maximum length is 85 cm, and when folded it is 20 cm, and this is with a weight of 200 grams.
3rd place: Xiaomi monopod
Here we are close to the top three monopods. Third place, in our opinion, is occupied by Xiaomi, it turns out that it also has its own Salfie stick. It may not be as functional as the previous one, but according to reviews, it is designed specifically for action cameras, which means it is not afraid of water and will not succumb to corrosion. And now let's talk about its specifications. The minimum length is 19 cm and it stretches up to 72 cm. This monopod weighs 211 grams, which means that it has a powerful design. The remote (which, by the way, can be removed) has two buttons: the main one and one for switching modes.
2nd place: Yunteng 1288 monopod
The second place is taken by the more professional Yunteng 1288 monopod. So, it also has a removable control panel. The selfie stick is versatile enough to work with action cameras and smartphones. The highlight of this monopod is its length when unfolded - 125 cm, this is the longest stick that I held in my hands. Unlike other sticks, its construction is so strong that it doesn't even bend under the weight of a smartphone or camera. He received the title of professional because of his appearance, since he has section clamps, like professional equipment. And not only the look gives the title of a professional: in the lower part there is a hole for attaching a tripod. In this case, an ordinary monopod will turn into a tripod. Unfortunately, the set does not include a tripod. The weight of such a Salfie stick is 300 grams, and when folded it has a length of 42 cm, which is not small.
1st place: BlitzWolf monopod
The leader of our review of selfie sticks is the BlitzWolf monopod. Many will agree that this is the best monopod for smartphones. If you are looking for reliable, multifunctional, durable, large and compact at the same time, then this is the BlitzWolf selfie stick. He practically collected all the best from the sticks described above. It is compatible with all smartphones including iPhone and is great for action cameras. The minimum length of the stick is 22.5 cm, and it unfolds to a length of 90 cm, but it does not weigh much at all - 164 grams. As with Yunteng, BlitzWolf can also be used as a tripod by attaching a tripod in advance, which is also not included, but the possibility is provided.

Over the past six months, due to the extraordinary popularity of selfies, a lot of devices have appeared on the market that allow you to take selfies at a new level, the so-called selfie monopods. However, due to the abundance of various models, it is difficult for an ordinary person to understand which products are better or worse, how to compare them at all. In this article, we will try to make a brief overview of most monopod models on the market in Russia, and also talk about the pros and cons of each model. Of course, it is up to you to make the final decision, we only hope that our material will help you with the choice of this wonderful gadget for your smartphone. So, let's begin.
Monopod as a regular tripod (essentially just a selfie stick)
Main cons:
- No camera shutter button, i.e. you will have to set a timer on your smartphone to take a photo. Agree, it's pretty inconvenient.
- Flimsy smartphone mount. The phone is held only from above and below, respectively, if handled not very carefully, it can fall out and break, and besides, such a mount quickly becomes loose.
- Tripod legs are fully round. This is fraught with the fact that over time the sections can become loose and even fall out. Agree, not a very pleasant prospect.
Plus just one- low price. You can find it for 500 rubles.
Selfie tripod with separate shutter button
Main cons:
- Both hands are always busy, in one - a button-remote control, in the other - the tripod itself.
- The remote control button is often lost, and its loss turns the monopod into an ordinary stick.
- There are essentially 2 buttons on the remote control: for devices on the system Android and for devices on the system iOS. You can easily mix them up and miss an important frame. The remote is not suitable for all types of smartphones. Communication is carried out via Bluetooth.
Advantage of this device in that with the help of it it is already possible to take selfies of acceptable quality at a minimum level of comfort. Also, the price of this device is low and averages 750 rubles.
Selfie monopod with tripod button and wire
To communicate with the phone, a white wire is used, one end of which comes out of the monopod, and the other is inserted into the headphone jack of the smartphone.
The main disadvantages of the model:
- The wire looks terrible, there is a possibility of damage. If the wire is damaged, the device again turns into a regular stick.
The main advantages of this model:
Button on the handle. It's convenient - there is nothing to lose.
The device does not need to be charged. Energy is taken through the wire from the phone. Although this is a dubious plus ... The price of such models varies from 850 to 1000 rubles.
Monopod for a selfie with the button KJSTAR Z07-5
This monopod is devoid of the shortcomings of previous models. This is a high-quality product that will allow you to easily and with maximum comfort take your selfies and get thousands of likes in social networks.
The main advantages of this device:
- No remotes or wires. Tripod button. The device works entirely via Bluetooth and has a built-in battery that lasts for 100 hours or 500 shots.
- Secure smartphone mount. The smartphone is fixed on three sides, which ensures 100% fixation in the holder.
- Suitable for all Android and IOS smartphones.
- Tripod legs do not rotate due to a special chute located along the entire tripod.
It's by right the most popular model in Russia, it is no coincidence that a huge number of fakes appeared on it, quite brittle and flimsy, so you need to learn how to distinguish them. The original KJSTAR selfie monopods cost around 1500 rubles. You can see the differences between the original and the fake and purchase a truly original KJSTAR monopod, for example,.
The remaining models, which are "variations on the theme" of the above, we will not describe here, because. they are quite rare and not very common yet.
Now you know what selfie monopods are, how they differ, and you can choose the most suitable solution for yourself. Good luck with your pictures!

Selfie sticks became popular in an instant. Such an accessory allows you to move your smartphone a certain distance, capturing yourself against the background of some sight. Young couples also use this device. However, not every selfie stick meets all the requirements of the modern consumer. In order not to miscalculate with the choice, we recommend that you read this article. She will talk about the varieties of these accessories and the main selection criteria. We will also go through the best selfie sticks available on the Russian market. And in a separate article you can get acquainted with the nuances of using a selfie stick.
What are the selfie sticks
Almost all selfie sticks are a traditional monopod, at one end of which there is a clip for a smartphone or a mount for some other device. However, this does not mean that selfie sticks are completely different from each other. In particular, different accessories can be made from different materials. And the build quality can also be very different. But most often, monopods are divided into categories according to the method of synchronization with a smartphone:
- Wired products require the device to have a 3.5 mm connector - it is through it that the signal to create a frame will be transmitted;
- Wireless accessories sync via Bluetooth.
Also, many selfie sticks differ from each other in length and thickness. Some of them fit easily in your pocket, while others, even when folded, will require space in a backpack.
Pay attention to the shutter button. Most monopods have it on the handle. However, not all. Some models come with a separate remote control, on which the desired button is located (if it is lost, then such an add-on can be purchased separately). There are also very cheap selfie sticks, devoid of any button - their use involves shooting using the self-timer. Such products are now very rare.
Best Inexpensive Selfie Sticks
Monopod DEXP MS-300
- Folded state: 22 cm
- Unfolded state: 109 cm
- Communication type: missing
The cheapest accessory in our ranking. The easiest way to find this monopod is in the stores of the DNS distribution network - here the selfie stick is sold in a variety of colors. It is offered to buy the product for only 250 rubles. Such a low price is due to the lack of the ability to control the shooting here. That is, there is no shutter button on the monopod. However, in the future, no one bothers you to buy a separate remote-button, which will allow you to forget about the self-timer.
The build quality of the DEXP MS-300 is quite decent. Most of the accessory was made of metal. The length of the monopod is exactly such that at least two people fit in the frame. There is also a strap that will prevent you from dropping the selfie stick. You can only find fault with the thickness of the product. The handle turned out to be painfully thin, which is why it is corny uncomfortable to hold the monopod in your hand for a long time. Also, some specimens are upset by the presence of backlash. But what else were you hoping to get for that kind of money?
goshot
- Folded state: 21 cm
- Unfolded state: 90 cm
- Communication type: the wire
A very small monopod that should fit in a jacket pocket. Of course, because of this, even when unfolded, the accessory does not become particularly long. But 90 cm should be enough to be able to take a picture with yourself and someone else.
In stores you can find at least two color options for this accessory. Unlike the previous reviewed model, there is already a shutter button that allows you to take a picture at any convenient moment. Synchronization with a smartphone is carried out via a wire, at one end of which there is a 3.5 mm mini-jack. The components of the monopod were made of metal, they are held in the unfolded position very reliably. Nothing bad can be said about the handle, which turned out to be very thick, and on top it is covered with a rubberized material. Even the battery pleases - it does not need to be charged too often. However, it was not without drawbacks. Buyers note the fragility of the installed wire - one day it will definitely come off, forcing the owner to spend money on a Bluetooth button.
LP MPD-3
- Folded state: 23 cm
- Unfolded state: 93 cm
- Communication type: Bluetooth
Relatively compact monopod, available in several colors. This accessory is sold for only 380 rubles. All its components are made of metal, while backlash is not noticed. The clamp is tight - the phone will definitely not fall out of it. Only lack of a strap can confuse. It will not work to screw it to the end of the handle - it is tightly sealed with a seal.
There is not a single button on the monopod itself. However, the manufacturer still allows you to remotely press the shutter button. For this purpose, a small remote control is provided, which is supplied in the kit and is powered by a flat battery. There are two buttons on this remote. One is for Apple smartphones, the other is for Android devices. And in the box there is a Russian-language instruction that describes the entire connection process step by step.
Aceline AC36BT
- Folded state: 20 cm
- Unfolded state: 96 cm
- Communication type: Bluetooth
Another relatively inexpensive accessory that has many color options. Its length when folded does not exceed 20 cm, so that the monopod can fit in a jacket pocket. The selfie stick consists of seven metal sections. There are no backlashes, there are no questions about the reliability of the product. The manufacturer claims that his creation is capable of holding devices weighing up to 500 g, and there is no point in not believing him.
The cost of this model reaches already quite tangible 490 rubles. In this regard, you should not be surprised that the shutter button is on the handle, and Bluetooth is used to synchronize with a smartphone. You don’t need to think about any batteries - the monopod is powered by a built-in battery, which is recharged via a micro-USB connector. In short, the product does not have any significant flaws. Do not demand moisture protection from an inexpensive accessory? However, some buyers note a hard unfolding.
The best top selfie sticks
Huawei Honor AF-11
- Folded state: 18 cm
- Unfolded state: 66 cm
- Communication type: the wire
The smallest monopod in our ranking. The length of the accessory when folded does not exceed 18 cm. It is likely that such a baby will easily fit in the pocket of outerwear. Alas, when unfolded, the selfie stick does not become much longer - six aluminum sections move apart by only 66 cm. However, if the camera built into the smartphone has a wide viewing angle, then this is quite enough.
The accessory is connected to the device via a wire. This decision allowed the manufacturer to abandon the battery - the button is powered through a 3.5 mm audio jack. It may seem that this monopod is designed exclusively for Huawei smartphones. But in fact, this is not so - ideal work is possible both with other "androids" and with devices based on iOS. And also note that there is no strap. If you are not famous for dexterity and accuracy, then it is better to find another instance.
Xiaomi Mi Selfie Stick
- Folded state: 20 cm
- Unfolded state: 70 cm
- Communication type: the wire
It would be strange if Xiaomi did not create its own, producing, it seems, almost all conceivable and inconceivable accessories. Her creation focuses on small sizes. Also, this monopod is easy to use at any time of the year. If other selfie sticks begin to behave inadequately in winter, then the product from Xiaomi does not have such problems. This is due to a special design. The metal base here is covered with a lightweight plastic that protects it from extreme temperature changes and even moisture.
Like the competitor from Huawei discussed above, the monopod is connected to the smartphone via a 3.5 mm jack. This may seem inconvenient. But on the other hand, the product does not require a built-in battery, the state of charge of which must be constantly monitored. It is also impossible not to note the clamp used here, which turned out to be very convenient. Finally, the Chinese have not forgotten about the strap, which will prevent the selfie stick from jumping out of your hand during a sudden movement. In a word, this accessory has no serious drawbacks, except for the weight - 130 g will seem like overkill for someone. The cost of the accessory in Russian stores is 890 rubles.
Harper RSB-203
- Folded state: 22 cm
- Unfolded state: 80 cm
- Communication type: Bluetooth
A fairly large monopod designed to be paired with any smartphone based on Android or iOS. The cost of this accessory reaches 1200 rubles. The manufacturer asks for such a lot of money for the excellent build quality. All sections of the monopod slide apart without any difficulty. At the same time, the oval shape of the sections is used here, which excludes their rotation from the weight of the installed smartphone. The high reliability of the design is evidenced by customer reviews - some of them tell about the fall of the accessory from a fairly high height.
An interesting feature of the monopod is the built-in flashlight. It is possible that it will come in handy for someone, for example, in field conditions. It should also be noted that there are several buttons here. This allows, in particular, not only to take a photo, but also to start filming a video. In a word, this is one of the most reliable and advanced specimens in the Smartbeaver rating! It also keeps the battery charged for the longest time. Surprisingly, at the same time, the selfie stick turned out to be not very heavy - its weight does not exceed 114 g.
Xiaomi Mi Selfie Stick Tripod
- Folded state: 19 cm
- Unfolded state: 51 cm
- Communication type: Bluetooth
Another selfie stick from Xiaomi. It turned out to be quite tiny, but the cost of this model is even higher - it reaches 1490 rubles. What is it connected with? The fact is that a special design is used here. The accessory is intended for shooting at arm's length only as a last resort. Basically, it will be used by the buyer as a tripod. The handle of this model is decomposed into three components, as a result of which the monopod turns into a full-fledged tripod, albeit a very small one!
With this design, it made no sense for the manufacturer to place the shutter button on the handle. Instead, the accessory comes with a remote that consists of just one such button. At the same time, the remote control does not require a battery - it uses a small battery, which needs to be charged through the usual micro-USB connector. It is curious that the clip on this tripod rotates freely. That is, you can take a photo not only in landscape, but also in portrait orientation. In a word, if you want to get an unusual selfie stick, then the Xiaomi tripod is the best choice!
Harper RSB-304
- Folded state: 22.5 cm
- Unfolded state: 87 cm
- Communication type: Bluetooth
Bypassing the Harper RSB-304 would be foolish. This is one of the most expensive smartphone selfie sticks sold in Russian retail chains. You will have to allocate 1,500 rubles for the purchase of an accessory. The manufacturer asks for such money for an advanced electronic component. The fact is that his creation is equipped with the largest number of buttons. Monopod allows you to take a picture, start recording video and even use the zoom! There is also a handy on/off switch. With this one, you definitely won’t forget to turn off the monopod after shooting, because of which it could quickly be discharged.
The retractable sections of the selfie stick were created from high-strength metal covered with lightweight plastic. Synchronization with a smartphone is carried out via Bluetooth. By the way, this monopod can be used not only in tandem with a smartphone. If you remove the clamp, you can get access to an ordinary tripod thread. You can attach any photo or video equipment to it. The manufacturer promises that its monopod will withstand a device weighing up to 3 kg. That is, here we are already talking about whether your hand can withstand it. By the way, the accessory itself weighs 146 g - perhaps this is its only drawback.
Outcome
A selfie stick is a very handy accessory that can come in handy on any trip. But only if it is chosen wisely! It remains to be hoped that you have carefully read our top, as a result of which you will not have problems with choosing a monopod.
In the simplest description, a monopod is a kind of. The variety of models is amazing: these devices differ dramatically depending on the intended scope of application and the loads for which they are designed.
Why you need a monopod
The question of how to choose a monopod remains unresolved for many who want to purchase such equipment.
