How do you use a selfie stick with a camera?

Published in Photography Accessories 1 min read

Using a selfie stick with a camera generally involves these steps: connecting the camera, adjusting the mount, and positioning the camera.

Here's a breakdown:

  1. Connect Your Camera:

    • Use a Bluetooth connection if both the selfie stick and camera support it. This allows you to trigger the shutter button on the stick.
    • If Bluetooth isn't available, you might need a cable to connect the camera to the stick (if supported by the camera and selfie stick).
    • Some older selfie sticks rely solely on a timer function on your camera.
  2. Adjust the Mount:

    • Extend the selfie stick to your desired length.
    • Adjust the angle of the camera mount to frame your shot correctly.
  3. Secure and Position Your Camera:

    • Place your camera sideways in the screen mount or bracket, ensuring it is securely fastened. Expand the bracket to fit the camera's size.
    • Carefully extend the stick, keeping a firm grip.
    • Use the shutter button on the handle (if connected via Bluetooth or cable) or the camera's self-timer to take the photo or video.
