The Mpow iSnap X is a one-piece, U-shaped, extendable self-portrait monopod selfie stick with a built-in Bluetooth Remote Shutter. I never thought I would own a Selfie Stick, but this thing is amazing! As a mom of three, I am constantly taking pictures of everything my kids do. I even try hard to make sure I take pictures of my kids with my husband with them, but I am never in any of the pictures. Not anymore, the Mpow iSnap X lets me be in the pictures too!!
I easily connected the Mpow iSnap to my Android phone’s Bluetooth and was set up to take pictures in less than two minutes. My Android phone fits snugly in the cushioned clamp, and the arm extends about 2.5 feet. This is great because we have a large group and I have short arms. Once I connect to Bluetooth and place my Android phone, I just press the button on the handle and get a great picture. There is virtually no delay when snapping a picture. Again, really handy with kids!
The handle feels sturdy, with a rubbery coating that feels secure, and it has a nice wrist strap to hopefully prevent me from dropping the Mpow iSnap X when it is holding my phone.
When I am not using my Mpow iSnap X, it collapses to less than a foot long and folds up, so small it fits in my purse (or my husband’s pocket). The Mpow iSnap X is small enough to take anywhere and capture moments with my kids that I was previously cut out of.
Using a Selfie Stick in public took some time getting used to; I felt a little silly at first. But the family and group pictures we are getting are so much fun. At under $20, this is a new must-have for moms who love taking pictures of their kids and want to be in them!
