Hold your Smartphone at a high angle, show some attitude or a pout and click a good Selfie. Seeing its popularity and usage Oxford Dictionaries announced a selfie as their international Word of the Year some time back. Right from the celebrities to the common youth, clicking a selfie and uploading it on social networking websites has actually become a style statement. But, what if someone wants to take a selfie with a wide-angle back view; Selfie sticks can help you in that. Gone are the days when we used to request other people to take our pictures. With the selfie sticks, one can click a perfect selfie without making odd hand movements.
While selfie sticks have been around for more than 7-8 years, it wasn’t until last year that they got immensely popular, not just among the photographers but everyone owning a Smartphone with the front camera. There are too many varieties of selfie sticks available in the market today, and as always, more are the more choices, the greater is the confusion to select the best one.

Have the author actually tested those Bluetooth selfie remotes with Windows Phone? I have tried a few different selfie Bluetooth remotes for iOS and Android, none of them works with WP, they all got disconnected soon after connected with Bluetooth to the Windows Phone
wholesale price you can get from http://www.witkeypowerbank.com
I agree, I too have tested a few, none of which actually worked with my windows phone.
it seems like windows phones are forcing us to buy android or Ios just to connect with friends without a windows phone. this needs to be corrected or lose customers
The screenshots of android phones under where it suggests “Selfie Sticks for Windows Phones” isn’t very re-assuring either
I’m more than a little bit frustrated with these poor attempts at reviews, as I purchased one of the recommend ones above, and the Bluetooth remote simply does not work with the Lumia 930. it clearly says IOS and Android on the remote, but not windows phone and the reason for this is it does not work with them. A smartphone is not a windows phone and that’s got to hurt.
It works with WP8.1 GDR2 and soon Windows 10 for all devices.
It’s available in WP8.1 GDR2 and Lumia Camera 5 and in Windows 10 for all phones.
I don’t see a single dedicated WP stick here. I love my 640XL, but feel left out of the SmartPhone world often. No iTunes, and few dedicated accessories. I can’t watch my Dish Network DishAnywhere app. I knew this going in, and for my purposes the 640XL is great, but I will have to buy an iPad or iPhone some day to get the myriad apps they offer…
For Christmas I got a selfie stick and when I used it with my Nokia Lumia 920 there was no option to take a picture when I pressed the button it just turned my volume up instead. When you use a selfie stick with an android phone it will say new button detected and then you pick what it does but windows phones don’t. Does that mean that no selfie stick will work with a windows phone? If anyone finds a selfie stick that will work please let me know. I would try a selfie stick suggested above but I don’t want to waste money if it wont work. Also I am not convinced because the photos in the windows phone selfie sticks part of this review has photos of phones that are either android or windows. I have previously tried 3 different selfie sticks with my phone all of which are meant to connect via Bluetooth. They pair successfully but then wont connect or I they do they don’t take the selfies. Please help me find a selfie stick that will work.
Thanks.
Bluetooth buttons did not work for me: I use 2 voice control apps for Lumia 1020. Windows phone apps to do selfies: [Vocal Camera] application will allow you to say Front and take a picture with front camera and back to take a picture with the back camera. [Readyclick!] say click or timer and it will let you pose for selfie with front or back camera.
I brought Digitsea Extendable Selfie Stick for my windows phone which is the microsoft lumia 640 lte even though it says it is compaitable it doesnt work and i brought a few others and they are not compaitable either! They should try the windows phones first before advertising that they work and without a picture of an android or iphone !
Not very happy :/
This was the quickest fix & did work for me! Thanks!
Selfie Stick Not working on Lumia 950 as when plugged into phone jack only allows you to adjust the volume
