It also offers new features. The portable magnetic selfie stick solves the pain points of conventional stands that are bulky, inconvenient to carry, and difficult to install. This blog post will explore the correct use of the magnetic selfie stick and provide valuable tips. Read on to learn how this magnetic tool can enhance your visual storytelling skills!
1. Why choose to use a magnetic selfie stick?
Traditional selfie sticks are usually bulky and inconvenient to carry, which cannot meet the concept of "convenient travel". The clamps usually have spring clips, which makes it troublesome to install the mobile phone and may even damage the mobile device. It takes a lot of time to adjust the angle every time you use it, which is inconvenient. In addition, traditional tripods have a single function and no cold shoe interface, which cannot further optimize the image quality while using the selfie stick.
The innovative functions brought by the magnetic selfie stick are "magnetic suction and use" and "quick disassembly when not in use". After receiving feedback from most selfie stick users, Lumipia made a lightweight and portable magnetic selfie stick with cold shoe, which is very simple to fold, store, and put into bags. In addition, the magnetic selfie stick is compatible with fill lights and microphone devices. It can be a selfie stick or a tripod and can be changed at will according to needs.
2. Three steps to correctly set up a magnetic selfie stick
Step 1: Unfold the selfie stick and select the mode to use
Selfie stick: Hold the handle with your right hand and use your left hand to pull the telescopic rod. The telescopic range of the SS21 selfie stick is 15"-35"
Tripod: Unfold the handle with both hands and place it on a flat surface such as a table or the ground for use
Step 2: Magnetic suction to absorb and fix the phone
MagSafe compatible iPhone: iPhone 12 - iPhone 16 series phones can be directly close to the suction, and the phone will automatically absorb and fix the magnetic suction tripod
Non-MagSafe mobile phone: Use the included magnetic suction ring and stick it on the back of the phone or the phone case to be compatible. If your phone case comes with a magnetic ring, you can align it with the magnetic part and use it directly.
Step 3: 360° rotation to freely adjust the angle
Horizontal screen shooting: When the phone is magnetically stable, you can easily rotate the bracket to adjust the phone to horizontal screen mode, which is suitable for landscape shooting, Vlog recording, or widescreen live broadcast.
Vertical screen mode: You only need to rotate the gimbal to switch to vertical screen mode, which is suitable for short video shooting, social media live broadcasts, or selfie group photos.
Multi-angle shooting: Since the magnetic selfie stick supports multi-angle tilt, whether it is high-angle downward shooting or low-angle upward shooting, it can be easily completed.
Step 4: Match accessories to improve the shooting experience
Connect the fill light to the cold shoe: In the shooting environment, if the environment is dark and needs a fill light, the cold shoe interface of the magnetic selfie stick can be connected to a mini panel light to increase more uniform and soft lighting.
Connect the microphone to the cold shoe: When you need to record vlogs, live broadcasts, or some interviews, the microphone can make your sound more concentrated and reduce environmental noise.
3. Creative tips for using magnetic selfie sticks
-
Basic mode: Use the selfie stick directly for single selfies or group photos. Pay attention to the stability of the bottom of the handle and use Bluetooth remote control for pairing and control.
-
Tripod mode: Unfold the selfie stick into a tripod, which can be used for time-lapse photography, horizontal screen viewing of TV series or videos, etc. Pay attention to the stability of the placement surface.
- Low-camera mode: Unfold the selfie stick directly into a tripod but do not extend it, and adjust the ball head downward, which allows you to capture a lower unique perspective; or hold the selfie stick close to the ground to get a different low-camera perspective.
