Overview
The MPow Selfie Stick is designed for those who love to take “selfies” and want to include as much as they can into the picture.
The Claim
The claim is that by using the selfie stick you can control the action and still be able to extend the camera out to a distance that allows you to get way more in to the shot.
The Hype
The hype is quite obviously found in the fact that the art of taking selfies or pictures of oneself with their own camera for the uninitiated has become a clearly more than a passing fad of the IPhone generation. They have become and icon in and of themselves with acceptance in every type of culture and media.
The Cost
The cost of the MPow Selfie Stick is a very reasonable $9.99 at Amazon.com. This seems pretty comparable to other similar units sold on Amazon as well.
The Commitment
Not much in the way of commitment required for the selfie stick, just the willingness to pick the shots you want to take and when you want to take them. The stick folds up to a size that easily fits into a purse or glove box when not in use.
Evaluation

The head rotates a full 270 degrees in order to get a good photo and is easy enough to operate with the Bluetooth compatible remote control doing the operating once paired up with your phone. It also has a handy strap for the wrist so you do not drop the unit and your phone in the heat of action.
