The best selfie sticks in 2024

If you’re an iPhone user looking for a selfie stick catered to the Apple smartphone, the Andobil MagicStick is a great option. The big selling point here is the MagSafe mount, which secures your device without slotting it into any awkward contraption. If you’re using your selfie stick frequently, this is a proper time saver. The Andobil’s 63-inch reach is also pretty impressive, especially considering how lightweight the thing is.

While technically compatible with Android phones, this is really one for the iPhone crowd, with better options out there for all the big Android brands. It’s also worth saying that this is a slightly more expensive option. We think it’s worth it based on build quality alone, and the MagSafe compatibility helps, but if you’re looking for something a little more affordable, you’re going to be better off with some of the other options on this list.

This KraftGeek selfie stick is a fantastic option for Android owners and is compatible with all the big brands like Samsung, Google Pixel, OnePlus, and more. With a 51-inch reach, easy-to-use tripod, and built-in anti-shake technology, this selfie stick is suitable for home and away and is pretty affordable compared to some of the more expensive picks on this list. There are also three colors to pick from – red, red and black, and white. It’s nice to have options.

Our only real problem with this option is that the mount atop the selfie stick is a little awkward. We’re not expecting state-of-the-art tech from a selfie stick under $25, but it’s slightly tricky to clip your phone in, and it feels more likely to fall out the mount than some of the other options on this list. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to fall out, it’s just a touch precarious, and you may want to avoid this one if you’re using an expensive flagship phone without a case. Or, just be sensible and buy a case.

If budget is no issue, this option on our list of the best selfie sticks is a great pick. With a compact design, enhanced stabilization, and a rotating gimbal, it’s the obvious call for any content creators looking to film on the go. Better still, the iSteady XE comes with an attachable magnetic fill light complete with ten levels of brightness, so you can always capture fantastic content no matter the lighting scenario.

The only real caveat here is that the iSteady XE isn’t extendable, so it makes taking a wide group shot a little trickier unless you’ve got someone tall to rely on for that extended reach. It might also just be a bit too complicated for the average selfie-taker. If, like me, you’d rather not mess around with buttons, modes, and magnetic lights and just get on with taking the gosh darn photo, it’s probably not the one for you.

This sturdy and extendable selfie stick is ideal for any outdoor adventurer looking to record using a GoPro. It might have a lightweight design, but due to its carbon fiber build, it’s seriously sturdy on land and in the water. Whether you’re snowboarding, skiing, or mountain climbing, you can be safe in the knowledge that this thing is ready for whatever you or Mother Nature throw at it.

The only problem with this option is that it doesn’t come with a tripod or a remote control, unlike some of the cheaper alternatives. Of course, you can pick up a separate tripod and device-appropriate remote, but it’s nice when they all come as a package. It’s up to you whether you think this trade-off of ease of use for the Telesin’s waterproofing and durability is worth it.

If it’s a budget selfie stick you’re after, you need look no further than this $6 option. Yes, that’s a selfie stick cheaper than a large Big Mac meal. We won’t lie to you, this is a pretty basic alternative to some of the other picks on this list, but it’s a great choice if you’re looking for something to take on a trip that leaves you with as much spending money as possible. Better still, there are three different colors to choose from – black, white, and pink – so you can at least choose something that matches your style.

While this option gets the job done, there are a couple of downsides. For one, the Bollove’s tripod is quite flimsy, so wind exposure may ruin your shot at the last minute by toppling the thing. It’s also not the most impressive in terms of reach, extending to a maximum of just over 40 inches. That’s fine for solo selfies, but it can make things a bit awkward if you’re trying to take a shot of a larger group.

If you want to go the whole nine yards and find a selfie stick with a tripod to match, our recommendation is this TONEOF option. Despite its relatively low price point compared to other tripod selfie sticks, this is a sturdy pick, with a one-press locking button for extra rigidity and non-slip feet on all three legs. The TONEOF stands tall at up to 60 inches and even comes with a detachable remote, so you can take the perfect shot without resorting to the auto-timer before hurriedly rushing into the frame.

Unfortunately, this is one of the few options on this list that doesn’t have multiple color options, so we hope you like a plain old black selfie stick. It’s also worth pointing out that we think the mount itself could be a little more secure. The lip on either side of the mount seems a touch small, especially for heavier phones that might lean forward, and we’d prefer something more robust. Still, this is only a potential problem while angling the selfie stick above you, and your phone should sit quite nicely while using the tripod.
