    Between selfie drones and selfie sticks

    Both selfish sticks and selfie drones are components of modern photography, with the both evolving within the same era. Though i have not been able to take a selfie with a selfie drone, on the other hand, I've been able to take pictures with selfish sticks; and both the feel and the picture it takes are cool. Between selfie sticks and drones, which in your opinion do you think takes a better picture?

    Both of these technologies or tools are very good in taking high quality selfie pictures. I have seen where both are used and they did an excellent job.

    Although I'm more familiar with using selfie stick than the drones. They are more affordable and easy to use.

    It is true that selfie sticks is affordable but it has limited things to do unlike drones. Drones are expensive indeed but yet you can do so much thing about it. It can capture photos up in the sky and can do video too.

    Drones are great for awesome overhead views and group photos but when it comes to close range selfies, I do think selfie sticks are the norm.

    If only I have money to burn, I'll buy a drone in a heartbeat. Selfie sticks are great tools but they only serve one purpose, and that is to help take selfies. Drones, on the other hand, is excellent to have for capturing breath-taking sceneries from a birds-eye perspective.

    Well the thing is that the price difference has a lot to do with the fact that they both have vastly different functions.

    Selfie sticks are made pretty much for the average consumer who just wants to take better selfies while traveling, therefore they’re also priced that way (not to mention it’s not like they’re some next level technological advancement).

    On the other hand, “selfie drones” aren’t really a thing, they’re just called drones and happen to have cameras attached to them, so you're not only paying for the cost of a remote piloted flying device, but an HD camera too. A lot of vloggers and filmmakers use them for sweeping panoramic shots and not really selfies, since you really wouldn’t want the rotors anywhere near your face anyway.

    True. Selfie sticks are much more affordable and could be easily used because drones are a bit too hard to maneuver especially if you're still not used to it. With selfie sticks, your only concern would be your shoulder and arm strength and stability because just like me, a lot of people suffer from shaky arms which is totally a bummer for taking selfies.

    There are also areas where it is illegal to fly drones and you need special permission from the authorities which means that you can get into trouble for using them without having to let the respective officials know first.

    True. I almost forgot about this fact and thanks to you for making me remember. It's actually legal here where I live but for countries like Australia and other first world countries, you need to have a license to fly a drone and for me, I think it's bit of a hassle. But, if I was a professional photographer/videographer and I happen to live in those countries, I will definitely apply for a license so that I can take breathtaking shots using drones.

    Availability Which one is more available to you?

    I agree that drones are very cool but then the price might be high for us and I cannot also afford to have it, I can only afford to have the selfie sticks because they are more cheaper than the latter and that is the advantage of selfie sticks because we can easily have them without worrying to have a huge penny and besides it is also great to use since I am using it already for a long time.

    Sometimes a selfie stick can do the trick and the picture taken would look like a product of a selfie drone. You just have to have a selfie stick that stretches 3 or 4 times that of a regular selfie stick. It is also a skill to wield such a long selfie stick, so take caution and practice in private first.

    Well, yes, you have a point. But it will only limit to what you can reach, unlike drones that can capture the whole place like a little island. I've seen pictures from my friend who has a drone and she took a picture while being on a little island that disappears during high tide.

    There many drones that may be classed as a selfie drone. A few are quite costly others are pretty reasonably-priced. In my opinion i would go with the newly launched DJI drone. Comes in only under around a hundred bucks and has a few effective capabilities. An excellent drone for selfies.

    Well, for one thing, I’d say that selfie sticks are more practical (even though I personally find them ridiculous). You can carry them around with you and use them just about anywhere without issue. That being said, the level of creativity with selfie sticks is pretty limited.

    Your options definitely open up more when it comes to drones, but they also have their limits. For one thing, you’re not going to want to carry a bulky drone with you everywhere you go, unless you’re someone like a YouTuber who makes a living making vlogs with cool drone shots. Not only that, but as drones are becoming more popular, a lot of places are actually banning their use so you’re not going to be able to take a drone selfie everywhere you go.

    I guess using drone would be better for those people who are capturing videos and not just for selfies. I agree that using selfie sticks is more practical to use than drone as you don't have to spend too much to get good selfies. It can be carried all around unlike drones that you should have it guarded all the time as some people might stole it from you because it is expensive.

    Yeah, most people carry around their drones in pretty heavy cases, so that they’re not only locked away but are protected from any sort of damage. Drones have plenty of sensitive parts so it’s pretty essential to keep them in cases with protective foam lining.

    I suppose they aren’t such a big deal to carry around if you drive a car, since you can just throw them in your trunk, but I definitely don’t see myself lugging around a big drone case when I go sightseeing somewhere.

    I'm more familiar with selfie sticks since they are a lot cheaper and more accessible. Selfie sticks do the trick, though of course the distance is limited. On the other hand, drones, while more expensive, have way better functionality and operability.

    if I had to choose one though, I'd choose the selfie stick based on practicality.

    I agree. No matter how long your selfie sticks are or no matter how high your drone could fly if your camera doesn't have a good amount of megapixels, you'll still not get the photo you desire. You should consider first the capability of your camera if it can take a good shot of a photo even from afar. Selfie sticks and drones are just tools, it still depends on your camera.

    Well, I have never used a drone to take selfies and also not seen anyone using drones to take selfies. I have only seen people using drones to take pictures during bigger occasions like weddings and engagements. For taking selfies the best option is to use a good quality selfie stick. I make the use of selfie stick almost everytime I have to take selfies. Selfies are more affordable and easy to use. Everyone may not be able to use drones to take there pics because drones are more expensive than the selfie sticks.

    It is my dream to have a drone!
    If given a chance, I would be very happy if I will have a drone. I prefer drones because I am not a selfie person. I always find myself cringing whenever I see myself in a picture. I would rather take pictures and videoclips of scenery than my face.
    Drone can give so much possibility what to feature unlike selfie sticks. But expense-wise, drone is so expensive ang high maintainance. The expense will be worth it because Drone was able to make vlogging in a new level.

    Same here. Having a drone is a must especially if you love to travel. The only thing that's stopping me from buying one is the price. If I invest money on it, it should at least return monetary gains, and the only way it is possible is by taking drone shots of breath-taking sceneries and posting them on YouTube.

    Yea thats true, with the price for a single drone I think it should be making such money back for me, drones can be used to make aerial view of landscape and building structure which can generate little income if the photo is sold, that's if it's a great photo or make amazing videos that can attract viewers.

Even though I haven't tried using or even touched a drone, I really think that it really satisfies the user in terms of taking cool pictures and angles.

    Although capturing selfies with a drone is much better, it might be very expensive as you will need to buy a drone. I would go with selfie stick. Using selfie stick could give you assurance that your gadget is safe. Although the view might be limited to the length of the stick, it can still provide a good quality of selfie. It can also easily find in stores and buy it in a cheaper price compared to the drone. I experienced taking a selfie by using a drone, the good thing there is that, it gave us a wider and higher view of our background. But I usually get scared if ever the drone might fell to the ground causing it to get destroyed. I can say that it is safer to use selfie sticks.

    Yes, you will enjoy more of the drone if you live rural life. It could be dangerous using a drone in a big city full of obstacles.

    Yes I agree on you, having a drones is really good for rural areas because it can give us more space for our drones to fly and have the chance to stay longer in the air. While in big cities it is difficult for our drones to fly high and achieve its objective because of so much obstacle that might be a hindrance in committing its objective which is to get beautiful scenery of a particular place.

    Depending on where you live, it might be better to invest in a selfie stick rather than a drone. It some jurisdictions- national marine sanctuaries, close to government buildings, places with restricted flight areas- you can get into serious trouble trying to use a drone. Also, selfie sticks are simply safer and don't run the risk of injury to yourself or others. So the question of which one takes better pictures doesn't really matter when you consider all the potential reprecussions of using a drone in an area where their usage is restricted.

    Yes that is really true and sometimes some drones are being prohibited from flying to some areas because some people view it as a threat to privacy because others may find it as being used for spying even though it is not really for that purpose.I think this are one on the things that are being thrown when we are trying to use some drones from photo or video shoot somewhere else.

    Yeah, there was recently a controversy in the US because people were viewing this footage of a bear cub struggling to climb rocks and overcome obstacles or whatever and cheering it on but then scientists had to explain that the bear cub was trying so hard to getaway and escape because it was terrified of the drone. People forget that these are new machines which aren't really properly regulated and pose dangerous threats to our individual freedoms and the environment surrounding us.

    Yes that is why we need to be sure that we are not threatening other people or even some animals while using our drones because we might be put into trouble if someone will find it to be a potential threat to national security. It is good to ask some permission first to a particular place when we are to use some drones so that we will have no problems in using it. Safety should be our main concern and responsibility as well.

    Also in the city there are already drones flying around for news channels, companies, police departments, etc. The last thing you want is your drone interfering or colliding with one of theirs.

    A hard question for me. Why? Because they can both give us good shots. Depends on what kind of shots you need.

    At present I would still choose the old selfie stick because it's cheap, easy to handle and helps tale good photos. While drones are expensive, laborious and somewhat technical.

    That’s true and there’s the whole legality thing about using drones in certain countries and areas. In some places they’re illegal or so I believe.

    I don't have a selfie stick or selfie drone. That's because I am not in a habit of taking a lot of selfie photos. I might never buy a selfie stick, however, I am interested in a drone with in build camera. I want a drone to explore the areal view. However, a drone cost a lot of money and I am not buying it anytime soon.

    Drones take much better photos than selfie sticks, as with a drone you are able to capture more of the view that is surrounding you. For this reason, it is important to select an interesting or beautiful place. When taking a 'dronie', keep in mind that you will only be the focal point for a short period of time while the drone moves further away, showing the surroundings.

    To take a great photo with a drone, start by raising it between 5 and 10 feet off the ground. Next, look at the camera towards yourself and make sure that the desired background is behind you. If your drone has an advanced gimbal, it is recommended to set it at a level angle so that when it retreats, it captures the horizon instead of the ground.

    Thank you! Glad I could be of assistance. I bought a drone a few years back, and I loved flying it. Believe me, one of the first things I did was try to film myself, and the first shots were disastrous. Since then, I improved techniques and the results are great!

    I had no idea how you’d take a “dronie” before reading this thread but your explanation was very helpful. I do think that shots captured from drones do give you some amazing views and can make for incredible photography.

    I used to see those two instruments used by bloggers and youtubers. I think they are both important and they have different uses.

    Selfie drones are mkstly used for taking pictures and videos from afar, perfect for travels.

    Selfie stick is very convenient to use and affordable as well, if we are experiencing some tight budget then selfie stick is good for us. The shots using a selfie stick is also good and I think that the quality of the image would now depend on how we will use the selfie stick for capturing the very special moments of our life. It is good and a fun way to explore with the use of selfie stick especially if we are a photo shot lover.

    Well I would choose drones over selfie sticks. Though there might not be a big difference between the quality of the pictures themselves, drones would give you the chance to capture shot where you normally can't go. Like a cliff shot.

    These two are great camera accessory and tool. It will help us to keep a stabilized footage and a well-angled image. However, I would pick selfie sticks between these two. Although selfie drones will give a cinematic look and will capture wider image, I prefer selfie sticks for convenience and ease of use.

    I think drones have way more capabilities over a selfie stick. A selfie stick's angle is limited by the person who's holding it while taking the photo. On the other hand, the drone could take the photo on a higher angle and places which you couldn't reach. Taking photos is also very effortless unlike with using selfie sticks. The only downside though is that drones were kind of expensive compared to selfie sticks.

    Selfie drones - all the way. Selfie sticks are just old now, it's almost 2019 and I don't see any people using selfie sticks anymore... Selfie drones are a way to go!

    Selfie drones are a tough pill to swallow when you can buy a selfie stick for less than $2! Why spend so much more money to take selfies of yourselves when you can do it "manually" and pocket the difference? Buying a selfie drone can be just an effect of the fear of missing out (FOMO).

    Both are good for taking selfies but I think it would all come down to price and availability. You can buy selfie sticks anywhere and they're way cheaper than drones. Though drones are considerably better than sticks I'll still pick the stick even though I don't take selfies Between selfie drones and selfie sticks

    Selfie sticks and drones are both helpful in taking of pictures and they are also used depends on the type of the picture or scene you want to take. Selfie sticks are usually used for some great background and for some group pictures while drones are used for a wide range of picture. Drones could easily capture an entire small island or some cities but you could also used drones for some dramatic background like sunsets or sunrise but with a wide angle.
