![]() Photograph: Samuel Gibbs/The GuardianĪ compact pole with a sticky, sort of dense plastic foam handle and poor build quality: I managed to pull the rubber top off the handle when trying to extend it, exposing the manual shutter button. Olixar Pocketsize Selfie Pole holding an iPhone 6 with the mirror facing the taker. Very stiff, feels cheap but costs more than simple rivals, cable is loose when compact and mount is small and not stable. That means no charging but a cable must be plugged into the phone. The stick has a remote shutter button that uses the headphone port of the phone to simulate the down-volume press. The wing nut holding the mount in place at an angle feels cheap and there was significant play even when done up as tight as possible by hand. The phone mount is very solid, but fitting the Nexus 6P into it was a squeeze. The pole also bends quite a lot with the phone in the mount at maximum extension. ![]() A child would struggle, but the sliding mechanism might ease over time. The metal pole is very stiff to both extend and retract, making it hard to put away. The Harrods selfie stick, aka the Red5 mTech Pocket Selfie Stick, is a compact pole with a rubberised grip and cheap-feeling plastic handle. ![]() Harrods Red5 mTech Pocket Selfie Stick holding an iPhone 5S. Light, waterproof and adaptable, but not as compact or cheap as rivals and comes with a weak phone clamp.
