Minimum length

The length of the monopod when folded. First of all, ease of transportation depends on this parameter, although a fully folded design can also be used when shooting. It is also worth mentioning that a smaller folded length (for the same maximum length) can mean more sections, which complicates the design, increases its cost and somewhat reduces reliability.

The most compact modern selfie sticks when folded take less than 15 cm, the largest ones can have a minimum length of more than 30 cm(this is an inevitable consequence of the large overall length).

Maximum length

The longest length that the monopod can be extended to.

Longer length allows you to place the camera further away from the user and fit more space into the frame. It can also be useful when shooting in hard-to-reach places where you can’t just reach with your hand. Also, with the same minimum length, a larger maximum length means a wider range of distances available for a given tripod. On the other hand, the working size of the structure significantly affects its weight and price.

If we talk about specific numbers, then the shortest modern selfie sticks are up to 50 cm long. A value of 51 – 75 cm is considered average, 76 – 100 cm is more than average, and in the longest models they can expand to 1 m or more.

Material

The main material used in the construction of the tripod, more precisely, the tripod rods (other materials can be used for the handle and head, for example, a plastic or leather overlay on a metal rod).

Metal. The metal found in selfie tripods can have different compositions and properties: for example, steel costs relatively little but is heavy, aluminium is light but expensive, and so on. Anyway, the advantage of this option over plastic is its high strength, which allows you to create structures for almost any camera weight (up to several kilograms).

Plastic. Inexpensive and fairly light material, plastic has fairly good strength, but is noticeably inferior to metals in terms of reliability. Therefore, this option is somewhat less common, mainly in tripods with a small maximum load.
