The Selfie Arm by innovators Justin Crow and Aric Snee take a humorous spin on the selfie movement with a photography stick that is a fake arm. As the user snaps a picture, it looks as though they are in the midst of shaking a stranger's hand. The Selfie Arm is essentially a floating fake arm that stops just past the elbow. At the end of the arm is the [smartphone holster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanopop-magsafe) to snap the picture with the button to capture the picture located in the stick's hand. As the user holds or "shakes" the Selfie Arm's hand, they can snap a picture that features the user holding the arm. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Extravagant Selfie Stick Designs:** Innovations in selfie stick designs that cater to the need of capturing great photos. - **Humorous Selfie Accessories:** Selfie accessories with unique and quirky design that offers a distinct humor to the trend. - **Innovative Smartphone Photography:** Revolutionizing smartphone photography through devices that offer convenience and creativity at the same time. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Creating more innovative smartphone accessories that are both functional and entertaining. - **Social Media:** Facilitating the creative needs of social media users by encouraging distinctive creations for unique self-expression. - **Photography:** Finding more ways to make photography accessible and fun through smartphone devices and accessories that can potentially replace traditional cameras. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smartphone Gimbal Attachments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snappy-mobile.md) - [Multi-Functional Smartphone Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meboge.md) - [Magnetic Smartphone Photography Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiftcam-snapgrip.md) - [Solo Vlogger Smartphone Gimbals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gimbal-griptok.md) - [Smartphone Gimbal Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphere-gimbal.md) - [Magnetic Snap-On Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapgrip.md) - [Selfie-Centric Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfie-series.md) - [Flexible Smartphone Carrying Straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morf-strap.md) - [Gesture Control Smartphone Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimo-phone-holder.md)
