In case the name didn\u2019t give it away, this gadget was specifically designed for selfies. Ever get the perfect group selfie lined up, but you realize the camera button is on the opposite side as your hand? It\u2019s literally #theworst. Problem solved! This gadget is a small remote that lets you snap\u00a0the picture in your hand, so you can hold the phone with the other hand or prop it up at a distance.<\/p>\n

Linkmount System<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"linkmountcombo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Vacations can be a dangerous place for selfies. Travel selfies\u2014or rather trelfies\u2014are more extreme than those in front of a bathroom mirror. True fear is\u00a0holding your phone at arms length while standing at the edge of a boat while\u00a0a rush of self doubt in your grip\u00a0washes over you. The Linkmount\u2019s most valuable feature forselfie takers is the wrist leash. Go ahead, take that selfie hanging over the edge of a cliff. Heck, hold it out the car window! It’s also equipped with a magnetized tripod-accessible mounting system that lets you mount your phone anywhere you can find a few inches of flat surface.<\/p>\n

\"BICYCLEMOUNT2<\/p>\n

Looq<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"looqg-1<\/a><\/p>\n

Ever been in a scenic setting so beautiful, you were torn between taking a selfie with only half the scenery in the background or\u2014dare we say it\u2014just taking a picture of the landscape? You need a Go Go Gadget arm, or the closest thing to it, the Looq. It adds up to 24 inches to your selfie reach with a button on the base of the handle for long distance pic snapping.<\/p>\n

Nova<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The only way to step up your selfie game is to get artsy. Sometimes you\u2019ve got to work a little harder to set up the right shot with the best lighting, but you\u00a0can\u2019t carry around those light-reflecting umbrellas that haunted you on school picture day. Nova is brilliant. It\u2019s a pocket-sized, off-camera light source that flashes when you take a picture. Their blog has a whole tutorial on how to use it for selfies<\/a>. No filter needed.<\/p>\n
