A selfie stick isn’t just for basic snapshots—it’s a versatile tool for capturing dynamic angles, group shots, and artistic compositions, and the right gear can make all the difference. A lightweight, adjustable selfie stick tripod can help you take great photos without stealing the show. Below, we’ve curated seven photography ideas to elevate your beach memories, plus tips for seamlessly integrating the Magnetic selfie stick tripod into your setup.
1. Classic action - beach jumping shot
Against the backdrop of the sea, jump happily in the air, rely on your mobile phone or camera to capture the moment in the air, embodying the "summer beach freedom", but it takes time and space to shoot it well, which is very suitable for group activities and personal shooting
How to shoot:
Put your phone on a magnetic selfie stick tripod a few feet away - the height is just enough to capture the whole picture of your jump. Use a Bluetooth remote control or timer to position yourself in a position with a clear background (the sky and the sea work best). The selfie stick has a telescopic rod, which can help you easily adjust the frame without asking for help.
2. Shoot at sunset or sunrise
A sunset or sunrise at the beach provides soft, warm lighting that works well for background shots. Position yourself on the horizon, extend the selfie stick slightly above eye level, and use tripod mode to keep the frame steady. Try poses like dancing, jumping, or holding hands with your partner to create beautiful silhouettes.
How to shoot:
The rotatable phone tripod selfie stick allows you to quickly switch between portrait and landscape modes depending on the pose. Keep the silhouette in mind with simple poses: arms outstretched, surfboard in hand, or making a heart shape with your hands.
3. Beach Spin
Taking a photo of your skirt spinning on the beach is something every girl loves. Spinning on the beach with your skirt or sarong fluttering can create a dreamy, effortless photo. To capture the action, switch your phone or camera to video or slow-motion mode.
How to shoot:
Place the magnetic selfie stick tripod about two meters away (the specific position will be adjusted according to the actual situation) and shoot at a slight angle to capture the spin and horizon. The rotating magnetic phone holder helps you try different perspectives without disrupting the setup.
4. Walk towards the waves
Slowly walking towards the sea like a movie camera is serene and cinematic, and it’s easy to shoot alone. This is great for telling a story or recording some psychological portraits.
How to shoot:
A stable base is key, especially on the beach, and you can adjust the selfie stick to a tripod style. Place the tripod behind you and set a delay or use a remote control to capture the moment you step. A lightweight tripod with non-slip feet makes installation easy and stress-free. You can also tilt the phone slightly upward to capture more of the sky and emphasize your silhouette.
5. Calm yoga or meditation poses
When the summer day is over a calm ocean, the ocean background pairs perfectly with yoga poses or simple seated meditation. This is the background that many yoga enthusiasts want to shoot, or the scene that yoga instructors use when shooting tutorials.
How to shoot:
Place the selfie stick tripod a few meters away (the specific position is adjusted according to the actual situation) and use a wide-angle lens to compose the picture. Adjust the height so that the sky and sea fill the upper two-thirds of the lens.
6. Couple holding hands
When couples are on vacation at the beach, they always need to take some shots to record the sweet scenes. A love hand-in-hand photo is inevitable, with one person leading the other towards the horizon.
How to shoot:
To take this photo well, use a tripod placed at waist or shoulder height. Adjust the angle to include the two figures and a little curve of the ocean. Use a magnetic selfie stick stand to quickly reposition, which is ideal if you switch between standing and crouching positions. Once you find the frame, let your hands hang naturally and keep your body aligned.
7. Action shots: surfing, volleyball, and more
Whether it’s a surfer breaking out of a wave or a volleyball jumping over a net, these are the highlights of a summer story. Capturing these dynamic shots with a selfie stick not only preserves the tension of the movement, but also injects a sense of story into your photos.
How to shoot:
Extend the selfie stick to capture wide-angle shots of the action. The Lumipia SS43 selfie stick can extend up to 2 meters, and combined with the phone’s wide-angle lens, you will get a different picture. For surfing, mount the selfie stick on a nearby rock or sandbar and use the remote control to take photos hands-free while surfing.
Taking beautiful beach photos doesn’t require a full team, just a little care and the right tools. A tripod like the Lumipia multi-function selfie stick tripod combines convenience and stability. You can set up quickly, adjust the angle smoothly, and focus completely on the moment in front of the camera. Whether you’re shooting alone or capturing shared memories, this flexibility is what makes your content shine.
Make the Summer Last Forever
A selfie stick will transform your beach photography from ordinary to extraordinary. Whether you're chasing waves, lounging at sunset, or making sand paintings, these ideas paired with the right photography tools will ensure your summer memories are as vivid as those moments. Bring your selfie stick, experiment freely, and let the ocean be your backdrop!
