origin
The origin of the selfie stick is very early, long before the mobile phone has a camera.
Origin one
The first selfie stick was invented by Hiroshi Ueda and Mima Yujiro, and was named "Telescopic Expander Supported by Pocket Camera" [1].
Origin ii
In 1988, Donald N. Horn and Bern Levy filed a patent application for a portable camera/display support rod. This patent describes a long pole of a portable camera, which can shoot from above, and the director can see the picture on the lower display.
Origin three
In 2005, the Canadian inventor Fromm invented a device that can support a camera and applied for a patent (U.S. Patent # 7,684,694). Wayne G. Fromm submitted the device and usage of supporting cameras in 2005.
Origin four
In other words, the selfie stick originated from the extreme sports circle.
