Is the MagSafe selfie stick really stable? This is a question many content creators will ask. When choosing shooting equipment, more and more people tend to choose lightweight and portable shooting tools that can be used in multiple scenes, especially in sports scenes, such as recording running, fitness training, and daily outdoor VLOG dynamic scenes. MagSafe shooting equipment is loved by more and more people.
So, can the MagSafe selfie stick really withstand sports shooting? This review will analyze the stability of the MagSafe selfie stick in sports shooting from several aspects, including design principles, test results, and usage suggestions.
1. Lightness does not mean instability
The stability of the MagSafe selfie stick comes from its detailed design:
1. 360° rotating magnetic suction: The magnetic suction can quickly and stably attach your iPhone, and can be rotated to the angle you want.
2. Triangular non-slip base: After unfolding, it has a wide bottom support, with rubber foot pads, which can maintain stable support even on smooth floors or park stone bricks.
3. Telescopic rod: Made of aluminum alloy, it stretches smoothly and is not easy to shake. The total length is about 60cm, which can achieve wide-angle selfies without shaking too much due to being too long.
4. Flexible ball head: In addition to magnetic suction, the structure has a built-in ball head, which can be stabilized with a knob at any angle to prevent the phone from sliding due to inertia when shaking.
5. Folding storage, light, and does not take up space: One of the reasons why gyms, outdoor running, and backpackers love to use it: The magnetic selfie stick can be stored to 18cm in length, which is light and does not take up space.
2. Magnetic suction test: Does the iPhone stick firmly?
Devices that support MagSafe have become popular since the iPhone 12 series, and users are particularly sensitive to whether the stick sticks firmly. If you are worried about the instability of magnetic suction, you can learn more about how magnetic suction works. We tested different sports scenes:
Scene 1: Gym shooting
Shooting content: freehand squats, kettlebell swings, sit-ups
Selfie stick status: ground bracket mode, iPhone 16 Pro naked phone directly magnetically sucked
Stability: The ground support is stable, without displacement; the magnetic suction is firm, and there is no drop during the whole shooting
Scene 2: Outdoor mountaineering shooting
Shooting content: explaining while walking, background scenery display
Selfie stick status: full extension + vertical shooting mode
Stability: Slightly shakes when the wind is strong, it is recommended to use the middle extension, which is more stable and labor-saving.
Scene 3: Outdoor jogging recording shooting
Shooting content: handheld running POV, self-introduction + moving picture
Selfie stick status: handheld shooting after contraction
Stability: The magnetic suction is stable, with slight vibration, but the picture is smooth, without slipping or displacement.
3. Which users are suitable for shooting sports?
This selfie stick is not a substitute for the traditional "anti-shake equipment", but it is flexible, convenient, and stable enough for daily use. It is a very suitable tool for the following users:
1. Fitness users: If you want to record punch-in, action demonstration, or training process playback, magnetic suction seconds to save time, flexible angle, and light. Yoga or meditation creators who need to shoot in a quiet environment at multiple angles are also very suitable for this shooting tool.
2. Outdoor bloggers: Don't want to carry heavy photography equipment, and hope that a "pocket selfie stick" can easily cope with all scenes. The magnetic selfie stick is very light and can be easily put into a bag when folded.
3. Content creators: Use iPhone to shoot short videos, want to reduce the complexity of equipment, only need one to cope with a variety of shooting needs, shoot while moving, more efficient, and with more free rhythm.
4. When is the MagSafe selfie stick not suitable?
Of course, portable magnetic selfie sticks are not omnipotent. In the following special use scenarios, more professional heavy-duty photography equipment may be needed:
❗Cross-country running, shooting with severe vibration: it is recommended to add a stabilizer or a high-magnetic protective case;
❗With a heavy phone case or non-MagSafe phone, the suction will be significantly reduced, and it is not recommended to use it naked.
❗Remote fixed-focus shooting: It is recommended to use a professional tripod for support.
