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.

Maximum load

Of course, you also need to take into account the weight of the case, box and other accessories installed on the gadget.

Most modern selfie tripods have a load capacity of up to 0.5 kg, which seems modest, but for most smartphones and action cameras, more is not required. 0.5 – 1 kg is the average value, it is found mainly in models with the ability to install action cameras. Note that such a margin of safety already allows (with the necessary mounts) the use of classic cameras — compacts, many "mirrorless" and even some "reflex cameras" with relatively modest optics. And the most durable models can withstand more than more than 1 kg ; this design can be useful both for a massive device and for a relatively light gadget — if you need a maximum margin of safety.
