A selfie stick is a lightweight, extendable monopod that allows individuals to take self-portraits, known as selfies, with their smartphones or cameras. It consists of a handle, a telescoping pole, and a smartphone or camera mount.
Selfie sticks have become increasingly popular due to their convenience, allowing users to capture wider shots, including more people or backgrounds. They are particularly useful for solo travelers, group photos, or capturing scenic views from a distance.
