Smart Gear 40" Bluetooth Telescoping Selfie Stick Red

Red selfie stick with 40-inch reach

The Smart Gear monopod extends to 40 inches so you can fit larger groups or more background into a single frame. A built-in Bluetooth remote triggers the shutter and, on Samsung phones, controls zoom. The 180-degree ball head locks with a thumb screw for angled shots, and the rechargeable battery tops up from any USB port. It clamps phones up to 3.5 inches wide or mounts lightweight cameras with a 1/4-inch tripod thread.

Best for solo creators and small groups

Travellers and social-media users who want a compact pole for wide selfies or steady video will appreciate the long reach and wireless control. The clamp suits most current smartphones and light action cameras. Buyers who need a heavier-duty support for mirrorless rigs, a longer boom for overhead work, or a wired remote for non-Samsung zoom should consider other accessories.

Check phone width and mount compatibility

Measure your phone with any case fitted; it must be 3.5 inches wide or less to fit the spring clamp. If you plan to attach a camera instead, confirm it has a standard 1/4-inch tripod socket and is light enough for the slender pole. Samsung owners gain zoom control; other Android and iOS users get shutter-only operation. Ensure you have a USB power source to recharge the internal battery between outings.
