Amzer Bluetooth Selfie Stick review

Price: Rs 1,499

Most people buy selfie sticks that are affordable. That’s because clicking yourself from a distance is never a priority that justifies a premium. So if you are spending close to Rs 1,500 for a selfie stick you are either doing serious stuff or you are pretty serious about the stuff you do, whatever that might be.

The Amzer Bluetooth Selfie Stick sure instills confidence in the user thanks to its good build quality. That is a rarity for these sticks, some of which look like repurposed car antennae with handles made out of old bathroom wipers.

Amzer Bluetooth Selfie Stick has a locking/unlocking mechanism which takes some time to understand. But once you get the hang of it extending the stick or folding it back in happens really fast.

It has a locking/unlocking mechanism which takes some time to understand. But once you get the hang of it extending the stick or folding it back in happens really fast. And more importantly it stays in place.

The stick is charged using a micro-USB port and the battery is good enough for you to not have to do this all that often. The Bluetooth pairing works easily with all kinds of phones.

The Amzer stick also offers a good grip for users and I had no issue using it for long timelapse videos.

One thing I really like about this stick is the part that locks the phone in place. This is the crucial part for many people, especially those who have cracked screen thanks to unstable phone holders in most selfie sticks. This one, on the other hand, can be banked on and will stay in place, come what may. In fact, the rivets and locks are of the standard you find in tripods, thus inspiring a lot of confidence.

Verdict

If you are looking for a good selfie stick, then this has to be among the best. It is not professional grade, but is certainly the best from a consumer point of view. However, this is an expensive acquisition when you compare it competition, so make sure you will put it to good use.
