Selfie Sticks & Gimbals

Ever wondered how YouTubers achieve seamless transitions and smooth shots? Even the steadiest of hands know that the output is prone to noticeable jerks. However, if you're wondering which one is the better alternative for you, you can begin by understanding where you might want to use your device.

A Selfie Stick primarily acts as an extension of the human arm. It allows you to capture your photos and videos from a greater distance. You typically have to mount your Smartphone on the clasp at the end and connect it with a wire present at the end of the stick. This function enables you to control the shutter button of your Smartphone's Camera.

A Gimbal, on the other hand, utilises intelligent motors and sensors that rotates your phone along an axis. It uses a Bluetooth connection and often requires a stable Wi-Fi to be able to offer its various features. It uses external buttons and gesture controls to capture a more steady, cinematic footage.

If you're someone who often travels solo, or in groups, and prefer having your pictures taken a certain way, a Selfie Stick works best for you. In case you like making travelogues, capturing your routine on camera, and have a flair for documenting, a Gimbal is a better suited tool for you.
