Since its inception in 1972, Manfrotto has grown to become the world's leading brand in the field of photographic equipment, with a market share of more than 33% for tripods. In terms of selfie sticks, as a professional choice for photography enthusiasts, Manfrotto is the only brand on the list that mainly recommends camera selfie sticks.
 
Selfie sticks can be divided into two types: mobile phone selfie sticks and camera selfie sticks. Since the camera is usually used in outdoor scenes, it requires more convenience and light weight of selfie sticks. At the same time, the control mode of camera selfie is divided into three categories: wired handle, infrared remote control and wifi paired mobile phone, which is generally equipped with external equipment for shutter operation, while the camera selfie stick only provides support and fixation, and the shaft has no buttons and no Bluetooth.
 
Manfrotto's camera selfie sticks are divided into two products: the Off-road Rider series and the Compact Xtreme and Mpolevr, with a tougher design. The main off-road series is light and convenient, with a weight as low as 66g, all thanks to resin fiberglass. This new material is made of synthetic resin as the matrix material and glass fiber as the reinforcement material, which is not only lighter, but also three times harder than ordinary aluminum alloy, which is both stable and durable. It can be used with a wristband to prevent your hand from slipping and falling, and is suitable for extreme outdoor areas.
 
The model of the off-road series starts with MPOFFROAD, followed by S for short, and can be adjusted steplessly between 29-60cm with a simple rotation, and the unified price is 379 yuan. M stands for long, up to 90cm, with a price tag of 449 yuan. In addition, the Off-road series also has a distinction between interfaces, which can be judged by the color of the shaft, the green camouflage model has a ball head, which can be viewed at any angle, and the 1/4 screw can be compatible with most cameras; The blue camouflage bar uses a GoPro adapter, specifically for GoPro action cameras.
 
Winner of the German Red Dot Award, the Compact Xtreme is a revolutionary innovation that allows you to switch from a monopod to a selfie stick by simply moving the gimbal from the top rubber grip to the bottom. At the same time, both the ball head and the GoPro adapter are configured, and the compatibility is also good. As a result, photographers are able to use the 280g aluminium alloy Aapto plastic rod to easily shoot from different angles of still/motion. It's just a storage length of 44cm, compared with other selfie sticks, the portability is average, and the price is 299 yuan.
 
Although the Mpolevr is designed for small 360° cameras, it is no different from the Compact Xtreme in terms of size, material and weight, with a spherical gimbal, compatible with most cameras, and the same price is 299 yuan.
 
In fact, whether it is equipped with a ball gimbal or a GoPro adapter, they will reveal 1/4 of the universal screw after they are removed, and you can also buy accessories such as mobile phone clips and use them as mobile phone selfie sticks after modification, which is very flexible.
