Taking design inspiration from the selfie stick and making it more functional than ever, the 'SELFSKIE' device mount works to turn just about anything into a [selfie stick or camera mount](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifting-monopod).

Available now for preorder on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiftcam-snapgrip), the 'SELFSKIE' can be used to mount either a smartphone or a [GoPro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mechanism-gopro-mount) to any kind of stick that's available. This could be a ski pole, a baseball bat, an umbrella, a golf club or even a broom.

The secret to the 'SELFSKIE' device mount design is in the strapping design that allows it to squeeze securely onto items big or small in diameter. The 'SELFSKIE' also comes packed with a Bluetooth remote control for snapping pics from afar (say, if you've attached the unit to a tree for a group photo).

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Multifunctional Mounts:** Design versatile device mounts that can hold both smartphones and cameras and attach to various objects, opening up new creative and practical usage possibilities.
- **Strapping Design Innovation:** Innovate the design of mounting straps to create versatile and secure strapping solutions that can hold onto different items of various diameters.
- **Bluetooth Remote Cameras:** Create new devices or enhance existing ones with Bluetooth remote control features, allowing users to snap pictures from a distance for better group photos, selfies, or hard-to-reach locations.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Photography and Videography:** Develop multifunctional mounts for photographers and hobbyists that can hold different cameras, such as DSLRs, mirrorless, or action cameras, and create diverse angles and perspectives for shots.
- **Sports and Fitness:** Create mounts for athletes and fitness enthusiasts that attach to equipment like skis, snowboards, bikes, or gym gear, enabling them to capture their performances from unique angles or record training sessions.
- **Outdoor and Adventure:** Design sturdy and versatile mounts that can strap onto natural elements like trees, rocks, or cliffs, allowing hikers, campers, and adventurers to capture amazing photos or videos of the scenery and their activities.
