I am not a selfie person. I did try it out though and found that it did the job nicely. The stick is really long which is important if you have friends in the picture, or you want a picture with a lot of background. The button is easy to use to capture the photo. I would say if you are a selfie person, I would recommend this stick! My daughter and her friends take selfies and they have no stick. I think I will give the stick to her. I know she will like it! For selfie people, I would recommend this.
