Selfie Stick

Buying guide
A selfie stick looks like a simple accessory and is actually three different products. Pick the wrong one and you end up carrying a stick that cannot hold your phone steady, or a gimbal you cannot balance.
The three formats are worth separating. A Bluetooth selfie stick is the simple one: a telescopic pole with a phone clamp and a remote shutter button. A tripod selfie stick has a built-in folding tripod base and usually a Bluetooth remote, and is the right choice if you film alone and want to set the phone up and step back. A gimbal is a powered stabiliser with motors on three axes; it smooths out walking footage and works with heavier phones, but it needs charging, weighs more, and takes a moment to balance.
Compatibility is where most purchases go wrong. Check whether the clamp fits your phone with the case on, and confirm the shutter is Bluetooth rather than a detachable cable, because a wired remote only works with Lightning phones and certain older Android models. For gimbals, check the stated maximum phone weight and that your phone's width falls inside the clamp range.
Content creation here is a business, not a hobby. A tripod and stick combination is the standard setup for a solo seller filming a live product session on a balcony or in a spare room, and the three-axis gimbal is what turns a handheld walkthrough of a flat into footage that does not look handheld.
Frequently asked questions
Will a selfie stick work with my iPhone or Samsung?
Yes, provided you check two things. First, the clamp width must fit your phone with the case on. Second, the shutter needs to be Bluetooth rather than a wired cable remote, because wired remotes only work reliably with Lightning iPhones and older Android models. All our products state the connection type and supported models.
Do I need an app to use a Bluetooth selfie stick or gimbal?
No. Bluetooth selfie sticks pair once and the shutter button then acts as a camera remote, with no app involved. Gimbals from the brands we stock also pair directly over Bluetooth and work with the native camera app. A few offer an optional companion app for motor calibration or panorama mode, but it is not required for normal use.
Is a gimbal worth the extra cost for everyday videos?
For short clips shot while walking, yes — a three-axis gimbal removes the shakiness that makes phone footage look amateur. If you mostly film static content, a tripod selfie stick gives you a steadier frame for less money and never needs charging. Gimbals also need a charged battery and a couple of minutes to balance before each shoot.
Do you deliver selfie sticks and tripods across the UAE?
Yes. Delivery is 12 AED for orders under 150 AED and free at 150 AED and above, arriving across the emirates within 1-2 business days. You can pay by card, Tabby, Tamara or cash on delivery.
