    I always wondered how selfie sticks work. I assumed it was with the self timer (which would be the case for the makeshift one pictured in your comment), but imagined it would be a huge hassle all the time.

    I'm a computer coach at the library and an older man came in asking for help with uploading videos to YouTube. He brought his selfie stick and asked if I had ever used one.

    Apparently they connect via bluetooth and there's a button for the shutter on the handle.

    I never put much thought in to it to begin with, but that was interesting to me.

    Edit: only some use bluetooth apparently. Others rely on the self timer or send the signal through the headphone jack.

    I have one that plugs into my phone's headphone jack. No batteries. How does that work?

    [–]Shadax 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (8子コメント)

    It's possible to send a signal through the headphone jack. Some headphones have volume and play controls, so I imagine it utilizes the same function to trigger the shutter.

    [–]PCKid11 27 ポイント28 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Yeah, I know about the volume controls - but how does it do it without batteries?

    ...Wait, regular headphones do that. (face palm)

    [–]drewthevander 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (4子コメント)

    most camera apps on smart phones take a photo when you push the volume rocker, or can be configured to do so. So when you push the volume on a headphone controller, it takes the picture.

            I don't have an over the top problem with selfie sticks but living in an area with lots of tourists in a small space has shown me how fucking stupid some of the things people use them for. I have seen a guy using it to take a picture of the ocean..... Not a selfie, just holding it out as far as he could so that instead of it being a picture of the ocean from the beach, it was a picture of the ocean 2 feet away from the beach. I have also seen people recording themselves while walking with the stick and that's when it gets really fucking annoying because in a crowded area they are just taking up a shit ton of extra space.

            I understand why it's so easy to hate selfie sticks and people who use them, but something I read here made me change my mind a while ago.

            A Redditor was talking about finding a box of photographs taken by their deceased grandparents. They were very excited until they found they were all landscapes, buildings and other people. They wanted to see their grandparents.

            It made me look at my own pictures which were much the same and now I try and include myself when visiting places and taking pictures.

            Soon after doing that my family members commented how happy the were to see ME in pictures of places I was, instead of just the scenery.

            Now, I use a tripod and remote shutter and a real camera which makes me feel better about it, but there shouldn't be any reason to feel bad about using a selfie stick.

            I guess the difference is intent? "I want to take pictures of me duck-facing into the camera all day because I'm so awesome" vs "My grandma will scold me if I don't include a picture of myself on my trip among all the shots of trees and sunsets."

            Exactly! If I want to look at pictures of the great wall of China, I can see them all over the internet, but none of them bring back the same feelings as the ones I have of me and my brother standing on it.

            I hope you get more upvotes. I think selfie sticks get a lot of hate because of the stereotypical stuff you see in this post. Yes, you could say they are for narcissists, but for people who travel alone, or as a couple and you both want to be in the picture, selfie sticks are great.

            If I had no shame, I could ask any of the selfie stick haters here to follow me around and take photos of me in front of 50 different things. The alternative is I get a selfie stick and just do it myself. It seems selfie stick haters would prefer to sacrifice 2 hours of their time to strangers so they won't use selfie sticks.

            I was traveling solo to Europe years ago, and all I had was picture of things I saw rarely with myself in the pictures. I'm heading to Europe again this summer with my wife. We will use the selfie stick. I'm ready for the snickers and weird look people will give me.

            As someone who has lived right next to one of the most beautiful national parks in Canada, what people used to do before selfie sticks was hand their camera to a friendly Canadian and make button-pushing motions with their fingers.

            I can see why someone might be scared to do that with a phone, but I've never even heard of anyone walking off with (very expensive) cameras.

            It was mainly Japanese tourists back then, mainly Chinese now. I was last there about 4 years ago, and still ended up taking people's pictures.

            The weirdest part is knowing that some of them just up and took pictures of me as well. There's probably an album's worth of pictures of a gawky Canadian college kid with a very friendly Richardson ground squirrel on their knee, somewhere in Japan.

            [–]lookitzpancakes 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

            The difference is definitely intent. I can certainly see several justifiable uses of the selfie stick (vacations, some cool extreme sports, etc.) and that's lovely. Totally valid.

            What made me hate them, however, was a friend of mine who had purchased one. I was having a going-away party, moving from one state to another, and it was my last night in town. I invited everyone out to this billiards bar and we had a great time.

            But this one particular friend? He decided to bring along his selfie stick. For no less than an hour he sat on a couch with two of his friends and took innumerable videos and pics of himself and just....what the fuck? It was self-obsessed to the point of being horribly unhealthy. Self-obsessed to the point of not enjoying the company he went there to enjoy.

            If that wasn't bad enough, you end up with a deluge of these completely uninteresting videos on his Instagram / Facebook feed. Since he's my friend it's a tough call. I don't want to unfollow him, but it really makes my skin crawl seeing narcissism at that level.

            So, yes. Intent.

            I don't think selfies are the issue, it's more the rate and mentality that goes with it.

            When I'm somewhere special, I like to take time to appreciate the place, I will probably take a photo of the landscape and one of me and my friends, but no more than that. In the meantime, I see some groups being totally self-absorbed taking selfies after selfies and spending half of their time there on their phones posting the perfect photos on their social feeds.

            It's like, the selfie is now the ultimate milestone of a vacation for some people, not the fact that you actually experienced it but the fact that you were able to get pictures of your best profile in twenty different landscapes.

            It's easy to see the consequences of that kind of behavior, especially on social networks: a profile with tons of selfies usually looks a lot like some carefully crafted advertissement. The photos are not genuine. To take your example, if I look at pictures of my grandparents, I'd like them to be as close to the reality as possible. When I went hiking last weekend, we took some group photos, my hair was a tangled mess (I'm letting it grow) and I had to attach it with an elastic, it was really, really ridiculous, but I didn't remove it or change it for the photos.

            Every time I'll look at or show them in the future, it will be how it really was, not how I wanted it to look like.

              While on vacation for EDC Puerto Rico, the wife and I actually found a selfie stick in our rental car. We thought they were just for douche bags but then we started using it for the last couple of days we we're there and it was amazing! I tend to want to feature us in the majority of photos because who wants to look back at vacation photos in 5 years and see no pictures of yourself. Using the stick we got wonderful shots of us and TONS of background. The photos came out amazing and we bring it with on most trips now.

              Strangely, when using the stick we found that MORE people would ask us if they could take a picture for us. Uhhh no thanks?... that's what the stick is for...

                    even then I mean obviously this is just my opinion, but everyone is so obsessed with taking pictures wherever they go

                    like when me and my family went to yellowstone for the first time when I was like 6 or whatever, I understand taking a lot of pictures, but when we go when im 23, sometimes I just like to walk around and experience what it really is

                    I feel like my parents are so obsessed with documenting everything that they forget how to just enjoy themselves from time to time

                    which is funny because of how much the "newer generation" of americans are obsessed with the internet and technology and whatnot

                    like if I was that guy, I would never imagine wanting to take video of that, I would just want to do what I was doing

                    What I find funny about your statement is that there are a lot of people who really enjoy documenting things. That's the fun. Sharing your experiences with your friends and family was what they enjoyed.

                    Maybe your parents didn't, but a lot of people do.

                    I was recently invited to some older (60+) friends house and they showed me pictures from their trip they took a few months earlier. They had a blast and I had a blast. They got to relive their experience and I got to see a place that I won't be able to visit for a long time.

                    Now that's not to say I don't get your point. Just that it's not really black and white. Lots of people vacation in lots of different ways. One of the things I've learned as an 'over 30' is that having strong opinions about what other people do doesn't accomplish anything and only breeds contempt.

                      I remember going to Carlsbad Caverns with my family when I was about 8. We took one roll of film, 24 pictures, and that was that. But I remember all sorts of amazing stuff from that trip. The pictures stay in some dusty photo album at my parent's house, but the experience still inspires me from time to time.

                      I feel really sorry for everyone that grows up with the Public Paparazzi. I still prefer to observe, remember, and experience rather than pose, click, and post.

                      Pictures are for remember specific details - like numbers or book titles - not for remembering experiences. I just want to shake people at concerts and say, "Put the camera down! Experience and live. It'll be on youtube in 5 minutes, you can look at it there when you want to see it again!"

                            20 years ago whenever travelling abroad my wife & I would take selfies using my 35mm SLR of famous landmarks in the background.

                            People would always offer to take the picture for us but I'd never want them to touch my camera. I'd always have to say thanks but it's a tradition to take this type of picture.

                            Since 'selfies' have become mainstream we've never been asked again.

                              Why? Almost all phones come with front facing cameras, the selfie stick only extends your reach. This way you can get group shots, or a whole body shot of yourself. If I'm traveling and want a pciture of myself in front of some artifact or interesting place, my options are a picture of my face with the other object over my shoulder, or a selfie stick. It's just a fucking tripod you hold

                              I think it's because people are associating the selfie stick with vain pictures like a driving selfie (like this submission) or a bathroom selfie, and ignoring its utility as a tool when traveling. Because reddit is dumb.

                              I bought a selfie stick for my sister as a joke, but she never used it. The other day I needed to photograph my room, so I grabbed the selfie stick, and use it to stick my phone in the corners of my room, it actually worked out really well.

                              They really are quite useful in some situations. I also use it as a backscratcher fairly often too

                                    I saw a guy using one at some park in Atlanta a week ago. It didn't bother me at all, but I did find it curious. But I realized he wanted to take a picture of what was behind him, and he wanted to pick up enough of the background. Plus, he looked like an obvious tourist and it didn't look like anyone around him really wanted to take the guy's picture for him.

                                        I own a monopod from way back in the old times. Selfie sticks are a monopod + a Bluetooth thingamajig that lets you click from the base of the monopod.

                                        The monopod that I have (which I bought in the epoch of heavy over-the-shoulder home videocams in lieu of a less portable tripod -- so to put it on the ground and just balance it) is workable for gopro action videos, but not for iPhone selfies: the built-in timer is not long enough that you can really profit from positioning the selfie stick, framing from different vertical angles, etc.

                                        But back to my point, selfie sticks!=monopods. Godamn pedants.

                                            Would you call someone a narcissistic douchebag for asking a stranger to take your picture? Or use the 10 second delay? The selfie stick just makes it easier for people to take pictures of themselves.

                                                As a guy living in one of the most touristic city in the world. I have no problem with selfie stick as long as you are aware of your surrounding. Being hit in the head by a selfie stick in a narrow street is unpleasant (happened to me). Even if you don't get hit, you have to keep a distance security with selfie photographers who can take way too much place.

I could just google it and buy a print from someone else and no one would know. To get a picture of you somewhere with your friends/family/self makes it personal.

                                                Selfie at Empire State Building: nice picture.

                                                10,000 selfies per second: issues.

                                                The people buying selfie sticks are the ones taking too many fucking selfies. The product is a symbol of narcissism - you literally need to carry an extra tool so that you can take pictures of yourself. Remarkable.

                                                I feel like I see this problem a lot:

                                                Person A: Thing is bad!

                                                Person B: Why is thing bad?

                                                Person A. I don't think everyone hates the thing, they hate people who like the thing.

                                                Person B: But why does everyone hate the people who like the thing?

                                                Person A. Because here's an example of an extremist liking the thing. We all don't like the extremist. Therefore, we hate people who like the thing. Therefore, thing is bad.

                                                    People love to hate things. Be that a race, gender, a concept or an actual thing.

                                                    Like that Bieber kid. So much hate there. Just ignore him. I see a post about him here on Reddit? Who cares scrolls further down instead of clicking on the thread and commenting about how much of a douche he is and how much I hate him!

                                                    Life is so much more relaxing when you just ignore instead. Not always easy and I still hate things (like some SJWs, rape, abuse etcetera) but I've let the minor things go.

                                                      And even then hate is taking it a bit far. I think it's annoying that some people want to document everything by putting their face in it, but luckily I'm not friends with anyone like that. It's not affecting my life so I don't really give a shit. When I'm on my deathbed I won't be thinking about these people any more than I'll regret not having any pictures of myself.

People also like to stick them out in the air where others are trying to take pictures of sights....they are pure evil...

                                                                      Like anything else, selfie sticks get used by douchebags as well as perfectly normal people. And douchebags tend to use them in large moving crowds or in the middle of sidewalks. I think my personal "douche of the year" award is the guy who got pissy with me when I asked him to stop blocking the staircase to my old apartment with one of these sticks after he took several pictures and didn't seem to want to stop.

                                                                      So it's not too hard to imagine why people have a problem with them.
                                                                      Some people have trouble blaming others for being douches, so instead of seeing the selfie stick as a useful tool they see it as "just another tool for douchebags to use".

                                                                      I actually kind of like them though.

                                                                      [–]Poseidon-SS 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

When I asked the guy where they were he totally gave me shit and didnt believe me that I wasnt a 12 year old buying it to take pictures of my self. Totally awkward.
