With their extended rods, phone
clamps, and handy wristbands, it's easy to assume that all selfie sticks are
the same — because for the most
part, they all look the same. But, a
new study from The Wirecutter shows that not all selfie sticks are created
equal. And, in true Wirecutter form, they've provided more than enough exhaustive research to back it
up.
The site is famous for its extensively
documented product reviews — it once took them 40 hours of sleep tests in extreme conditions to
determine the best sleeping bag — so when it came to selfie
sticks, the writers did basically everything but ask Kendall Jenner which one was her favorite. They tested 20
different versions over 20 hours, snapping photos in a variety of locations,
including an entirely frozen-over Niagara Falls. (Talk about dedication.)
