If you want to make your own selfie stick, you must first make sure that your mobile phone supports the volume button for taking pictures. Of course, most mobile phones do.
Let’s briefly talk about the composition of the selfie stick.
1. Telescopic rod. Because for the convenience of use, selfie sticks are all retractable, but if you can’t find a suitable telescopic pole at home, or to save costs, you can also replace it with an ordinary pole. It should be noted that the sturdiness of ordinary poles must be ensured. After all, no one wants their mobile phones to die heroically while you are taking selfies.
2. Mobile phone holder. The selfie sticks on the market and the stands that hold mobile phones can be rotated and adjusted in various ways. Of course, it is more difficult for us to achieve this with our own ones. If possible, I recommend a car-mounted mobile phone holder, which can be fixed directly on the pole with hot melt glue. However, the cost is high. It is better to use the money of the car-mounted holder to buy a selfie stick. In fact, you can use two ordinary stands to fix it. Clamp the phone one up and one down. Remember to put sponge in the clamp mouth to avoid damaging the phone.
3. Shutter button. As mentioned earlier, mobile phones support volume keys for taking pictures, so we need to prepare a pair of headphones with volume adjustment, plug in the headphones, and just press the volume keys when taking pictures. Of course, it would be even cooler if you have a Bluetooth headset.
Selfie sticks are very cheap now. If it is for taking selfies, it is recommended to buy one directly. You can get it for only ten yuan on a certain treasure. If you are a craft lover, then I strongly support doing it yourself~
