With the rise of selfie-related technology in our culture, no accessory has become quite as popular or as notorious as the selfie stick. They’ve been extending our arms to lengths they’ve never gone to before to get the perfect single or group shot. Many companies have come out with models and here at Small Dog we’ve got two of them, the original Selfie Stick by Emio and the Selfie Shoot n’ Share by Digital Treasures.
The original Selfie Stick comes with the stick wand and a separate Bluetooth remote, which the wielder clicks to take a picture. The included phone holder can extend to hold phones as big as the iPhone 6! The Selfie Shoot n’ Share has an all-in-one design, with the Bluetooth remote control embedded in the handle. With a bright red handle it’s noticeable from a distance, so you’ll never lose it. Both sticks work with iPhone and Android devices, and as our Small Dog associates can tell you, they work with all kinds of photo apps!
While they have the same purpose, there are different advantages for each selfie stick model. The original Selfie Stick has a longer reach than the Shoot n’ Share and a sturdier metal frame. Its phone holder is also more secure; when tested with vigorous arm waving, the phone stayed in the Selfie Stick while it almost came out of the Shoot n’ Share. On the other hand, the Shoot n’ Share costs less so it’s more affordable for kids and teens. Also the Shoot n’ Share’s control is in the handle, while if the Selfie Stick’s remote is lost it becomes basically unusable. Still not sure which one is best for you? Come to Small Dog and ask us for a demo!
