We tested 20 selfie sticks in various conditions, including a frozen Niagara Falls. The $20 Looq DG was the shortest when folded up (about a foot) and the longest when extended so it’s easier to carry and more versatile at selfies than any other stick we tested. Its solid clamp works on even the largest, heaviest phones and it uses a cable to snap photos (not Bluetooth like most sticks) so there’s no battery to worry about.
