Minimum length

The length of the monopod when folded. First of all, ease of transportation depends on this parameter, although a fully folded design can also be used when shooting. It is also worth mentioning that a smaller folded length (for the same maximum length) can mean more sections, which complicates the design, increases its cost and somewhat reduces reliability.

The most compact modern selfie sticks when folded take less than 15 cm, the largest ones can have a minimum length of more than 30 cm(this is an inevitable consequence of the large overall length).

Rod diameter

Tripod rod diameter. It is believed that with the same length and the same body materials (see below), a thicker tripod can withstand serious loads better and is generally more reliable (although it will weigh more). At the same time, it should be taken into account that the actual reliability also depends on other design features, and only those models that differ significantly from each other in this size can be unambiguously compared with each other in diameter.

Number of sections

The number of separate sliding sections provided in the design of the tripod.

The more sections, with the same length, the shorter each individual section will be and the more compact the tripod will be when folded. On the other hand, an increase in the number of individual parts adversely affects the strength and reliability of the structure. When choosing the number of sections, manufacturers proceed from a compromise between these points; so long tripods tend to have more sections to keep them compact when folded.

It is also worth mentioning that in addition to multi-section sliding selfie sticks, fixed models are also produced, consisting of only one section. They are intended not so much for selfies, but for general convenience when shooting on a smartphone or action camera.

Fixed sections

The presence of sections with special clamps in the design of the tripod.

The normal section for fixing in one position must be fully extended; this is not always convenient. The latches also allow you to fix the sections in any position, not necessarily fully extended. Thus, you can set almost any length of the rod (ranging from minimum to maximum). The disadvantages of such models are the high price and slightly increased weight.

Maximum load

Of course, you also need to take into account the weight of the case, box and other accessories installed on the gadget.

Most modern selfie tripods have a load capacity of up to 0.5 kg, which seems modest, but for most smartphones and action cameras, more is not required. 0.5 – 1 kg is the average value, it is found mainly in models with the ability to install action cameras. Note that such a margin of safety already allows (with the necessary mounts) the use of classic cameras — compacts, many "mirrorless" and even some "reflex cameras" with relatively modest optics. And the most durable models can withstand more than more than 1 kg ; this design can be useful both for a massive device and for a relatively light gadget — if you need a maximum margin of safety.
