Best Cheap Selfie Sticks
Harper RSB-105
Rating: 4.8
Very inexpensive monopod with a rubberized handle with a ribbed surface. Such a selfie stick won't exactly slip out of your hand, even if you start waving it like a Star Wars lightsaber. Also, the buyer should be happy with a wide range of colors - in stores you can find Harper RSB-105 with a gray, black, blue, pink and green pen.
The surface of the handle is made of rubber. The rest of the construction is steel. There is no doubt that the selfie stick will not break if you accidentally hit it against a wall or something like that. It is impossible to call a monopod hard - its weight does not exceed 115 g. But even a long selfie stick is not - to someone, 90 cm will seem an insufficient parameter. Sections of the monopod turned out to be quite thin, and therefore the product will not sustain the device, whose weight is more than 500 g. .
Self-stick has just one button - it is responsible for the shutter release. Connect to the gadget via Bluetooth. Autonomous operation of the accessory is provided by a 60 mAh battery charging in literally one hour. Included with the monopod comes not only a USB-cord to connect to a network adapter, but also a wrist strap.

Rekam SelfiPod S-450W
Rating: 4.7
Another relatively inexpensive monopod in our ranking. It is no longer so popular, in connection with which the manufacturer had to confine itself to three colors - white, black and orange. Selfie stick is also not intended for devices whose weight exceeds 500 g. However, it is already much longer than the previous model considered. In the unfolded state, its length reaches 118 cm.As it seems, this is an ideal parameter for photo or video shooting with any smartphone, whatever camera it is built into.
As is the case with most existing monopods, this specimen has a rubberized handle (in fact, the surface is made of plastic and silicone). But you can notice that there is no connector for the USB cable on its end - there is only a tripod socket used to screw the strap on the wrist. This is explained by the fact that there are no buttons on the selfie stick itself - it consists of only seven sliding sections made of steel. But how then to photograph?
Everything is very simple. A miniature remote control is supplied with the product. It is in it is all the electronics. As you can guess, the remote is synchronized with a smartphone via Bluetooth. There are two buttons on this selfie stick. One is used to send a signal to an Android device, and the other is used to take pictures using an iPhone or iPad.
It remains to add that you can use monopod without a remote. In particular, no one bothers to use the “Self-timer” function in the Camera application. The lack of electronics allows you not to worry about the state of the selfie stick in the rain or after it falls into the water. It is only necessary not to forget to wipe it dry then so that corrosion does not show itself.

LP MPD-3
Rating: 4.6
The selfie stick from the Liberty Project could not help but fall into our rating. The fact is that this is one of the simplest accessories sold for only 350-400 rubles. And if the products discussed above cannot be called reliable, then this monopod breaks extremely rarely. The position of the smartphone is set here using a plastic regulator, dragging on without any problems. If the accessory is completely decomposed, then its length will reach 100.5 cm. It is not a record parameter, but it is impossible to call a short monopod exactly. The manufacturer promises that his creation will withstand any smartphone - the maximum load is 500 g
On the selfie stick you will not find a single button. All electronics in this case is taken out on a small remote. The signal to the smartphone, he sends via Bluetooth. The job is provided by the flat battery that comes in the kit. Together with the monopod, the buyer will get a wrist strap. Although without it, the selfie stick is unlikely to slip out of your hand, because its handle is rubberized.
Please note that the platform for the mobile device is attached here with a tripod (threaded) connection. This means that without a pad, a compact camera can be attached to a selfie stick.

The best selfie sticks in terms of price-quality ratio
Harper RSB-304
Rating: 4.9
Far from the cheapest monopod. In the Russian retail, its cost reaches 1,500 rubles. This selfie stick came to our rating due to its compact size. When folded, this product can be thrown into a jacket pocket. Also, the monopod can be attached to the trouser belt with a carbine. However, be sure to check the equipment! Some buyers report that they got an accessory without a carabiner.
Here the entire electronic part is in the handle of the monopod. The number of buttons increased to four. The first is responsible for the release of the shutter and the beginning of the video. The second helps to move from the main camera to the front. But the remaining buttons allow you to use the digital zoom - they are the smallest size.
The high cost of self-stick due to quality materials from which it is made. Most of the construction is made of aluminum - it is precisely because of this the selfie stick weighs no more than 146 g. The handle is rubberized. It used a pleasant to the touch material, as it does not cause negative emotions and the diameter of the handle. If you are still worried about a possible fall of the monopod, then you can use the complete hand strap. Charging selfie stick with a USB-cable. And this is the rare case when a selfie stick is able to show the battery level! The manufacturer claims that the battery capacity of 100 mAh is enough for 500 hours of battery life - that is, for your entire vacation! Charging time does not exceed 1 hour.
It remains to add that the selfie stick turned out to be incredibly reliable - you can throw it at the wall, nothing will happen to it from it. It is not protected only from scuba diving (rain is not terrible to aluminum). Maximum selfie stick capable of withstanding three-kilogram technique. However, do not count on its use in tandem with a DSLR - there is no tripod thread here, and the platform for a smartphone simply will not hold a bulky camera.

Momax Selfie Hero 150
Rating: 4.8
One of the most expensive monopods in our ranking. Russian sellers ask about 2500 rubles for this selfie stick. On the shelves of shops you can find two versions of self-stick - they differ only in coloring. Such a price tag is due not only reliable design, but also very decent length. If this selfie stick is decomposed completely, then the length will be 150 cm. One and a half meters on an outstretched hand! Someone this may seem a little? Surprisingly, when folded, the monopod turns out to be only 30 cm.
In fact, it is not only a monopod, but also a tripod. The fact is that in the kit there is a special stand, screwed to the end of the handle. As a result, the product can be put on the ground, using it as a tripod. This will get rid of the outstretched hand, which spoils some of the pictures.
This accessory is also equipped with a special remote control. It is used to control the Camera application. The remote can be held in hand, or fasten it to the handle. On it you can find a few buttons. With their help, you can not only make a frame, but also start shooting video, as well as use the zoom. A separate button serves to move from the main camera to the front one. But that's not all! You can also use the remote control outside of shooting, using it to control the music player. It turns out that you will get the smartphone out of your pocket a little less, reducing the chance of it falling on the asphalt.
Included is not only the remote, but also ancillary accessories. In particular, it is impossible not to note the presence of the carabiner and hinge. Including it is possible to fix somewhere a remote control, almost completely eliminating the possibility of its loss. The case should please the buyer. The manufacturer also offers to download its own application for photography - it will allow you to take a picture without pressing a button at all (you only need to create a special gesture).

Jmary Selfie Stick QP-168
Rating: 4.7
Perhaps one of the most affordable selfie poles among those that have the most durable construction. Like other monopods, the product consists of sliding sections. But if less expensive selfie poles eventually cease to be fixed in the unfolded state, then this will not happen with the Jmary Selfie Stick QP-168. The fact is that the sections used here have a special gutter. One has only to turn the section, as it is firmly fixed in the selected position. The number of sections is small - there are only four of them. It is because of this that the length of the accessory does not exceed 95 cm. In the folded state, the length of the monopod is 30.5 cm.
The buyer will love the handle. It is made of rubberized material. In the hand, the product feels great; slipping does not occur even with the toughest exploitation. As for the management of the Camera application, a small Bluetooth remote control is used for this purpose. Alas, the owner of this selfie stick will only be able to press the shutter button. About zooming and switching from one camera to another can not dream. Well, what did you want from an accessory selling for 1400-1500 rubles?
Virtues
-
Reliable fixation in the unfolded state;
-
Bluetooth remote is working properly;
-
Breaking is extremely difficult;
-
There is a wrist strap;
-
Comfortable handle;
-
Enough light weight;
-
Can be used together with the camera.
disadvantages

Very short length;

Price list will not please everyone.
Xiaomi Mi Tripod Selfie Stick
Rating: 4.7
This hit, which could not get into our rating. You can find this monopod literally in every store belonging to a large trading network specializing in electronics. It can also be found in many small outlets engaged in the resale of goods from China. And it is possible not to mention how much the Xiaomi selfie stick is in demand in online stores.
It should be noted that this is almost the smallest monopod in our ranking. In the folded state, its length is only 19 cm. In the unfolded state, this parameter increases to 51 cm. By itself, this will not seem to many people. The Chinese manufacturer understood this by introducing three folding legs here. In short, the selfie stick turns into a tripod in this way. It remains to put him somewhere on the table and start shooting! Importantly, the smartphone can be turned into portrait mode, and not every monopod allows you to do this!
Oddly enough, such a baby weighs 152 grams. This is due to the use of quality materials. It is extremely difficult to damage the tripod. In his hand, he practically does not slip, which also can not but rejoice. But in terms of functional selfie stick is not as good as it seems. Let's start with the fact that the electronics made by the manufacturer on the Bluetooth-remote. Fortunately, a special place is allocated for it on the case, so you do not need to hold the remote control in the second hand. But the fact of having only one button can not but upset. That is, the remote will allow you to make a frame, but no more. Only the more expensive monopods can boast of zooming and switching to another camera. As for the cost of this product, it is 1,500 rubles.
Virtues
-
Work via Bluetooth;
-
Reliable design;
-
Easily turns into a mini tripod;
-
Conveniently lies in the hand;
-
Available portrait and landscape orientation.
disadvantages
-
Very small length;
-
Just one button;
-
Overpriced.
The best selfie stick in the premium segment
FEIYU Tech Vimble 2
Rating: 4.9
This is a new word in the world of monopods. Strictly grief, it can no longer be called such a word, since it is a real stabilizer. This accessory weighs 428 g, and inside it there are motors that try to keep the video smooth. FEIYU Tech Vimble 2 is absolutely not needed for photography - for this purpose you can find lighter and longer monopods. But you can't do without it if you want to get high-quality video. Yes, modern smartphones have a built-in image stabilizer. But its size does not completely eliminate the trembling that arises from the fact that human hands are not able to hold the device in absolute immobility.

And it is not a sin to give that kind of money for such a stylish accessory! Everything is thought out here - from the case to the holder for the smartphone. The handle is covered with elastic material (eco-leather) that will not allow the selfie stick to slip out. At the same time, there are three color versions of the handle available to customers - black, brown and yellow. Metal parts of the structure also have a different color - competitors often cannot boast of this.
The clip of this monopod rotates 720 degrees. This means that you can take pictures of yourself from various angles, using both landscape and portrait orientation. Also, it should be noted that there is space on the handle for the Bluetooth remote control, so that it will not be lost. Use this selfie stick can not only be paired with a smartphone. The fact is that it uses a 1/4 inch tripod screw, to which you can fasten either a camera or an action camera. Finally, the buyer should be pleased with the rigid fixation of each knee - it will remain such for many years to come.
