To be completely honest, I have never owned a selfie stick. Somehow, I was not convinced that this is a type of product that I need, even though there were situations, especially when traveling when it seemed useful. Not to mention, me always having the latest phone, I am not very eager to put my phone to someone’s else’s hands when I need a picture. But I finally bought it. The choice fell on Huawei AF15 selfie stick. So what are my impressions?
Huawei AF15 Design
The box contains the selfie stick itself in a protective foil and a short manual. The stick, when folded is pretty small. It has a nice handle and a Bluetooth button/remote controller, which is detachable. Huawei AF15 selfie stick weighs around 163g and in full length has 66 cm (25.98″). The stick seems a bit thicker than other selfie sticks I saw, and it has very nice dark silver color which makes it look very premium.
Huawei AF15 Features and Performance
The tightness of the phone mount is a bit strong and may require some effort with larger phones, but it holds the device very solidly. The phone mount turns with a step of 45 degrees relative to the hinge head with a silent click sound. The head itself rotates with a level of 180 degrees relative to the axis of the stick and freely perpendicular to the axis of the stick.
As mentioned earlier, Huawei AF15 selfie stick has a remote controller to which you can connect via Bluetooth. The controller is not rechargeable but has CR 2025 battery as a power source instead. There is a magnet on it as well which provides better hold to the slot on the stick and actually the controller snaps with ease to the slot. This construction, both with a magnet, makes it very convenient and hard to lose. The effective distance of the remote is around 10 m.
Huawei AF15 selfie stick can also be used as a simple tripod. You can open the handle into three standing legs. Although the stick is not long enough to put on the ground and make a selfie (unless you will direct the phone upwards) if you find some elevated area like a tree stump or some lower wall it should be just perfect. Of course, the surface needs to be flat, but if it is the tripod it quite stable.

Summary
After playing with it for several days, I got convinced that this is something I would use, especially with the tripod function. The stick has a nice premium look, and the remote controller is easy and comfortable to take out/slide in. The stick itself could be a bit longer, but for most users, the length should be satisfying.
