Best Selfie Stick for Note 9 Phone Owners

The best selfie stick for Note 9 use, out of these seven, is the PellKing 79inch Long Selfie Stick, because 79in of extension is more reach than any other pick here offers and it weighs only 0.65 lb. If you want a phone clamp and a Bluetooth remote in the box instead of a bare 1/4" screw, the K&F CONCEPT Selfie Stick is the better buy. Reach is the specification that splits this field, and it splits it hard: 19in at one end, 79in at the other.

Best selfie stick for note 9 at a glance

Will these actually hold a Galaxy Note 9?

Here is the honest position, up front. Six of these seven listings describe themselves as action camera poles. Their published compatibility lists name GoPro Hero models, AKASO Brave units, DJI Osmo and Insta360 bodies. None of those six lists a Samsung phone.

Only one pick publishes a phone clamp measurement: the K&F CONCEPT, whose listing states an adjustable clamp from 2.17in to 3.35in. That is the single spec in this whole set that speaks to holding a phone at all.

So if you searched for a best selfie stick for note 9 and expected seven Samsung-ready poles, adjust the plan. What you have instead is seven poles, most of which terminate in a 1/4" screw thread or a GoPro-style fork. The PellKing listing specifically mentions 1/4" screw holes on the bottom for tripod compatibility. A 1/4" thread is the standard camera mounting thread, which means a separate phone tripod adapter screws onto it.

That adapter is the piece you have to source yourself. I can't tell you any of these ships with one, because the listings don't say so.

Three practical checks before you buy any pole in this category for a phone:

• Does the top end publish a clamp width? Only the K&F CONCEPT does here.
• Does it publish a 1/4" thread? The PellKing does. The Svbony listing mentions a bottom interface. Others don't state it plainly.
• Does the remote pair with a phone or a camera? A GoPro Bluetooth remote won't fire a Galaxy shutter.

Read that as a filter, not a verdict. Two of these picks are still worth owning for phone work once you accept the adapter step.

How I screened these seven down by buyer profile

I didn't rank these by a single score. Seven poles this different don't share one scale, so I sorted them by who actually walks away happy.

Four buyer profiles came out of the data:

1. The reach chaser. Wants the camera far from the body for wide group shots or ski footage. Only reach matters. The PellKing wins on 79in, which is more than double the next longest.
2. The phone shooter. Wants a clamp, a remote and legs. That's one product here, the K&F CONCEPT, and it isn't close.
3. The water shooter. Needs buoyancy so a dropped rig surfaces. Four picks claim floating designs: the Svbony, the AKASO, and both TELESIN poles.
4. The packer. Wants the smallest, lightest thing that still extends. The Trehapuva collapses to a 1.2 x 7.5 x 1.5 in body at 4.96 oz.

What got a pick cut from the top spot was failing its own profile. The TELESIN underwater pole sits at the most expensive position in this set and offers 33in of reach, less than half the PellKing's claim, so it can't lead a reach-first ranking. The AKASO publishes no weight or dimensions in its specification block at all, only a colour, a count and a 1 year warranty, which makes it hard to recommend sight unseen to a packer.

Award labels follow the profile, not the price. Cheapest here is the Trehapuva; second-cheapest is the Svbony. Neither leads, because neither is the pole that solves the most common problem in this category.

Reach is the number that decides it

Most guides to the best selfie stick for note 9 compare build material. Aluminium alloy, rubber grip, twist lock. Every pole here claims some version of that, so it separates nothing.

Reach separates everything. Look at the published maximums:

• PellKing: 79in
• TELESIN underwater: 33in
• AKASO: 24in
• Trehapuva: 19in
• TELESIN floating tripod: 18.5in
• K&F CONCEPT: 16.93in tripod span

That is a four-fold spread. And reach changes what the photo looks like, not just how convenient it is. At 19in you get a face and a shoulder. At 79in you get a group of six with the mountain behind them.

The cutoff I'd use is 30in. Below it, you are shooting yourself and one other person, and a compact pole is the smarter buy because you'll actually carry it. Above it, you are shooting scenes, and the extra pole length is doing real work.

Reach also costs you two things. Longer poles are heavier: the PellKing at 0.65 lb and the TELESIN underwater at 0.81 lb are the two heaviest picks with published weights, and both are long. Longer poles also wobble more, which is why the PellKing listing makes a point of the damping between extension sections. A 79in aluminium pole with a phone on the end has real leverage against your wrist.

1. PellKing 79inch Long Selfie Stick for GoPro 13 12 11 10 9 — Best overall

Nothing else here comes close on reach, and 0.65 lb is a fair price to pay for 79in of pole.

Best for: reach above everything else, 79in of it Skip it if: you need a phone clamp in the box

Reach is the whole argument. PellKing publishes a 79in extended length, described in the listing as an upgraded 2m pole. The next longest pick here reaches 33in. That gap is not a refinement, it's a different category of shot: a full ski run from above, or eight people in frame without asking a stranger.

The build details are the manufacturer's claims, and they read sensibly. PellKing describes waterproof aluminium, a rubber handle, an adjustable wrist strap, thumbscrews, and 1/4" screw holes on the bottom for tripod compatibility. That thread is the reason this pole earns a place in a phone-focused guide at all: a standard 1/4" phone adapter screws straight onto it. The listing also claims strong damping between extension sections to reduce shake, which matters more at 79in than at 19in.

Collapsed dimensions are 1.5 x 15 x 1.2 in and it carries a 1 year warranty. At 0.65 lb it's the heaviest of the three entry-position picks, and the trade-off against the compact poles is obvious: this doesn't disappear into a jacket pocket. Only one seller lists it.

Pros:

• 79in claimed reach, more than double any other pick
• 1/4" thread supports a separate phone adapter
• 1 year warranty published
• Twist-lock operation, released counter-clockwise
• 0.65 lb despite the length

Cons:

• No phone clamp included, so an adapter is a separate buy
• No remote of any kind
• 15in collapsed length is too long for a pocket
• Compatibility list names cameras, not Samsung phones

2. K&F CONCEPT Selfie Stick — Best warranty

The only pick here that publishes a phone clamp width, which makes it the obvious choice for a Galaxy in hand.

Best for: phone shooting with a clamp and remote included Skip it if: you shoot underwater

This is the one pole in the set designed around a phone rather than an action camera. K&F CONCEPT publishes an adjustable clamp from 2.17in to 3.35in, which is the specification that matters if a large-bodied Galaxy is going on top. It's also the only clamp measurement published anywhere in this comparison.

The feature list adds the pieces a phone shooter actually uses. K&F describes a rechargeable 9-button Bluetooth remote for shutter, zoom and camera switching, dual-axis adjustment with 360° horizontal and 180° vertical rotation, and an aluminium alloy tripod spanning 16.93in when opened. There's also an auto open and close claim tied to a fall. Read those as manufacturer statements, not measured results.

The warranty is stated as 1 Year Manufacture, and the model is KF15.0002. What's missing is the physical data: no published weight, no collapsed dimensions. That's a real gap when portability is half the reason you'd buy a compact tripod. Against the water-ready picks it also offers nothing on buoyancy or depth, so leave it on dry land. It sits roughly mid-range for this set on price, and only one seller lists it.

Pros:

• Clamp adjusts 2.17in to 3.35in for phones
• Rechargeable 9-button Bluetooth remote included
• 360° horizontal and 180° vertical adjustment claimed
• 16.93in tripod span when opened
• 1 Year Manufacture warranty

Cons:

• No published weight or collapsed size
• Shortest stated reach of any pick here
• No waterproof or floating claim at all
• Remote adds a charging chore

3. Trehapuva 19" Short Extension Selfie Stick Compact Handle — Best budget pick

The cheapest pick here and the smallest, collapsing to a 7.5in body at 4.96 oz.

Best for: a pocketable 19in pole at the lowest price here Skip it if: you want tripod legs or a remote

Size is the pitch. Trehapuva publishes a 7in to 19in range across three extendable sections, and the collapsed dimensions are 1.2 x 7.5 x 1.5 in at 4.96 oz. That makes it the lightest pick with a published weight, and small enough that carrying it is never a decision.

It's also the cheapest of the seven, and it sells faster than the rest of this set. The listing claims a soft rubber grip rather than plastic, twist-lock extension, and compatibility with GoPro Hero and AKASO bodies. Model is GOSSCK01-B.

What you give up is everything beyond the pole. No tripod legs, no remote, no published warranty term, no floating or depth claim. And 19in of reach is a genuine ceiling: at arm's length plus 19in you're shooting a portrait, not a group. Compare that to the PellKing's 79in claim and the difference in what fits in frame is enormous.

For a phone, the same adapter caveat applies as with most picks here. The compatibility list names action cameras. If you're pairing it with a Galaxy you'll be adding a clamp yourself, and at 19in you'll want the phone light on top rather than in a heavy case.

Pros:

• Cheapest pick in this comparison
• 4.96 oz, the lightest published weight here
• Collapses to a 7.5in body for pockets
• Soft rubber grip claimed instead of plastic
• Three-section twist-lock extension

Cons:

• 19in maximum reach, second shortest here
• No tripod legs and no remote
• No warranty term published
• No phone clamp or clamp measurement listed

4. Svbony 4-in-1 Floating Selfie Stick Tripod for Water Activities — Best for pros

Four roles in a 5.26 oz body, with a magnetic attachment that speeds up mode changes.

Best for: switching between grip, pole and tripod outdoors Skip it if: you want a published warranty term

Versatility for very little money is the story. Svbony is the second-cheapest pick here and describes four modes: floating selfie stick tripod, telescoping pole for everyday photography, floating tripod, and hand grip. The published weight is 5.26 oz, and the listing separately claims 145 grams and a telescopic design adjustable from around 8in.

The attachment method is the detail I'd single out. Svbony says the tripod attaches magnetically, so you can shoot handheld and then unfold three arms into a tripod without unscrewing anything. On a boat or a rock ledge that saves fumbling. The listing also claims aluminium alloy construction resistant to rust and corrosion, an anti-loss wrist strap, and a bottom interface for mounting. Compatibility named includes GoPro 13 down to 3+, DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro, and Insta360.

Two things hold it back. The dimensions field reads 69 x 240 x 45 in, which cannot describe a pole this size, so treat the published dimensions as unusable. And the warranty entry isn't a term at all, just a note about contacting the seller through Amazon, which means you have no stated coverage period the way the PellKing, K&F and AKASO picks give you. Only one seller lists it.

Pros:

• Second-cheapest pick in this set
• 5.26 oz published weight
• Magnetic tripod attachment for fast mode switching
• Four modes: grip, pole, tripod, floating tripod
• Anti-loss wrist strap claimed

Cons:

• No warranty term published, only a contact promise
• Published dimensions are clearly unusable
• No maximum extended length stated
• No remote included

5. AKASO Waterproof Floating Hand Grip Selfie Stick Tripod — Best upgrade

24in of claimed reach in a 5.3 oz floating body, which is the best reach-to-weight ratio among the water picks.

Best for: water shooting where a dropped rig must float Skip it if: you want long reach

The numbers in the AKASO feature list are the reason it's here. The listing claims 8.6in collapsed, extending to 24in across three separate lengths, at 5.3 oz. That's more reach than the Trehapuva, the K&F and the TELESIN floating tripod, in a body lighter than either TELESIN pick. Among the floating options, that combination is unmatched in this set.

AKASO describes it as a 4-in-1: floating tripod, hand grip, selfie stick, and extendable tripod stand, with free switching between pole and tripod mode. It can be locked at any length in the range. Compatibility named covers AKASO EK7000, EK7000 Pro, Brave 4 through Brave 8, V50X, V50 Pro, V50 Elite, and GoPro Hero. A 1 year warranty is published.

The specification block is thin, and that's the real cost. Colour, count and warranty are all it holds. No weight, no dimensions, no model number. Every physical figure above comes from the feature bullets, which are AKASO's claims rather than a standardised spec sheet. It also sits at the most expensive tier of this set alongside the two TELESIN poles, and unlike them it publishes no depth rating at all. Floating is not the same as rated to a depth.

Pros:

• 24in claimed reach, longest of the floating picks
• 5.3 oz claimed weight
• 8.6in collapsed for packing
• 1 year warranty published
• Locks at any length in the range

Cons:

• Specification block lists only colour, count and warranty
• No depth rating published anywhere
• Premium price position with thin published data
• No remote included

6. TELESIN Bluetooth Floating Selfie Stick Tripod for GoPro — Best minimal setup

Grip, pole, tripod and Bluetooth remote in one 215g orange unit that collapses to 10.8in.

Best for: one small orange rig that does grip, pole and tripod Skip it if: you dive past 15m

This is the pick for someone who wants to carry one accessory. TELESIN describes a 4-in-1 combining a floating hand grip, extendable selfie stick, tripod and handle, with a telescopic aluminium pole reaching 18.5in and collapsing to 10.8in. Stated weight is 215g. Published size is listed as For GoPro 13-9, colour orange, model CXCY-S1-TSS-07-US, with a 1 Year warranty.

The interesting claim is the control. TELESIN says there's a built-in signal booster for fast Bluetooth response underwater, rated for operation to 15m, with a three-button and three-light layout for switching modes. That's a specific depth number, which is more than the AKASO or Svbony listings offer. The buoyant tripod legs are described as keeping a camera afloat and steady for hands-free filming.

Two constraints. The 15m depth rating is half the other TELESIN pole's claimed 30m, so recreational divers going deeper should read the next entry instead. And 18.5in of reach is the second shortest here, so this is a close-quarters tool, not a group-shot pole. It sits at the most expensive tier in this comparison. Two sellers list it, the only pick in the set where that's true, so it's the one pick you can actually cross-check between sellers.

Pros:

• Bluetooth remote with claimed signal booster
• 15m depth rating published in the listing
• 215g claimed weight
• Collapses to 10.8in for a backpack
• 1 Year warranty published

Cons:

• 18.5in reach, second shortest in this set
• 15m depth is half the other TELESIN pick's claim
• No published weight in the spec block, only in features
• Premium price position for modest reach

7. TELESIN Underwater Bluetooth Selfie Stick for GoPro Hero — Best premium

A 33in pole rated to 30m with a Bluetooth remote, built for footage nothing else here can shoot.

Best for: deep snorkelling and dive footage with remote control Skip it if: reach on land is your priority

The depth claim is the whole reason this exists. TELESIN states 30m, described as 100ft, which is double the 15m its own floating tripod claims and the only figure of its kind in this set. Pair that with a 33in pole and a Bluetooth remote, and you have a rig for coral, wrecks and marine life at wide angle.

TELESIN also claims 21 hours of shooting, one-touch operation for shutter, mode switching and power, and that using the remote instead of the camera body saves battery on longer dives. Compatibility named is GoPro Hero 13 through 8. Published weight is 0.81 lb, model PFK-US-GP-WBT-001, and the warranty field reads simply 1.

It's the most expensive pick here, and the trade-offs are real. At 0.81 lb it's the heaviest of the seven, and 33in of reach is under half the PellKing's 79in claim, so on land it's outclassed for group shots by a cheaper pole. The warranty entry is a bare number rather than a stated term, unlike the K&F's 1 Year Manufacture. And nothing in this listing addresses phone mounting: it's a GoPro tool that a Galaxy owner would need an adapter and a waterproof case to use, which is a lot of extra kit.

Pros:

• 30m depth rating, the deepest claim here
• 33in reach, longest of the water-rated picks
• Bluetooth remote for shutter, mode and power
• 21 hours shooting claimed
• Published weight of 0.81 lb

Cons:

• Heaviest pick in this comparison at 0.81 lb
• Most expensive position for less than half the PellKing's reach
• Warranty field states a bare number, not a term
• No floating claim, unlike three cheaper picks

Does a floating grip matter if you never dive?

Four picks here claim buoyancy: Svbony, AKASO, and both TELESIN poles. Three of the four are orange, which is not decoration. Orange is what you spot in water.

If you never take a camera near water, buoyancy is dead weight in the pitch and you should ignore it entirely. Buy on reach and pack size instead, which points you at the PellKing or the Trehapuva.

If you do go near water, even just a kayak or a pool, floating changes the failure mode. A non-floating pole that leaves your hand sinks. A floating one sits at the surface with an orange body sticking up.

The depth ratings tell you how far each claim goes:

• TELESIN underwater pole: 30m claimed
• TELESIN floating tripod: 15m claimed
• AKASO: no depth figure published
• Svbony: no depth figure published

Floating and depth-rated are two different things. A grip can be buoyant and still not be sealed for a dive. Only the two TELESIN poles publish a depth number, and only one of them clears 15m.

For a phone shooter, one more caution. None of these listings mention phone waterproofing. A Galaxy on any of these poles needs its own sealed case, and that case adds thickness the K&F clamp's 3.35in maximum has to accommodate.

What the listings do not tell you

Every one of these seven listings leaves out something a buyer would want. Here's the honest inventory.

Phone mount hardware. Six of seven say nothing about holding a phone. The PellKing's 1/4" thread and the Svbony's bottom interface imply an adapter will fit; neither says one is included.

Weight, for three picks. K&F CONCEPT and TELESIN's underwater pole both publish some data, but the AKASO spec block has no weight or dimensions at all. Its 5.3 oz figure comes from a feature bullet.

Extended length, for two picks. The Svbony gives a starting length near 8in but no maximum in its published data. The K&F publishes a tripod span rather than a pole reach.

Warranty terms. Three picks state something usable: 1 year from PellKing and AKASO, 1 Year Manufacture from K&F. The TELESIN underwater pole's field reads just 1. The Svbony's is a customer-service note, not a term. The Trehapuva publishes nothing.

Load capacity. No pick here publishes a maximum supported weight. That's the figure I'd most like when hanging a large phone in a case off a 79in pole, and no listing supplies it.

Remote pairing. Both remote-equipped picks describe camera functions. Whether either fires a Samsung shutter is not stated, so assume it doesn't.

The verdict

If reach is what you're buying, the PellKing 79inch is the pick, and it isn't a close call. 79in against a 33in runner-up is not a margin, it's a different tool, and the 1/4" thread means a phone adapter gets you a Galaxy on top of it. Take the 15in collapsed length as the cost of entry.

If you want the phone-holding part solved for you, the K&F CONCEPT is the answer. Its 2.17in to 3.35in clamp range is the only published clamp figure in this comparison, and the rechargeable 9-button remote plus 16.93in tripod span turn it into a working phone rig out of the box rather than a pole plus a shopping list.

The cutoff between them is 30in of reach. Below that threshold you're shooting yourself and one other person, and the K&F's clamp, legs and remote are worth more than pole length. Above it you're shooting scenes, and the PellKing is the only pick that gets you there.

Everything else is conditional. Water work sends you to the TELESIN underwater pole for its 30m claim, or the AKASO for 24in at 5.3 oz. Pocket priority sends you to the Trehapuva at 4.96 oz.

FAQ

Is the best selfie stick for note 9 worth buying if I already own a tripod?

Worth buying if you already own a tripod, yes, but for different work. A tripod holds a fixed frame; a pole moves the camera away from your body while you're walking, skiing or swimming. The AKASO, Svbony and TELESIN floating picks combine both, so if your tripod is bulky, one of those replaces it and adds reach.

Which pick gives the most reach per dollar spent?

The most reach per dollar in this set comes from the PellKing, which sits at the third-cheapest position while publishing 79in of extension. The Trehapuva is cheaper still but tops out at 19in. Among the premium-tier picks, the TELESIN underwater pole reaches 33in, so you pay considerably more for less than half the PellKing's length.

Will a 79in pole hold a Galaxy Note 9 steady?

A 79in pole holds weight at real leverage, so expect visible sway with any phone on top. PellKing claims strong damping between extension sections to reduce shake, which helps. No listing here publishes a load capacity, so I'd extend partway for phone work and save the full 79in for lighter action cameras.

PellKing or K&F CONCEPT: which should I buy first?

PellKing or K&F CONCEPT depends on one thing: whether you want to buy an adapter. The K&F publishes a 2.17in to 3.35in phone clamp and includes a 9-button Bluetooth remote, so it works immediately. The PellKing needs a separate phone adapter for its 1/4" thread but delivers 79in instead of a 16.93in tripod span.

What mistake do first-time buyers make in this category?

The mistake first-time buyers make is assuming every selfie stick fits a phone. Six of these seven listings name only action cameras: GoPro Hero, AKASO Brave, DJI Osmo, Insta360. Check for either a published clamp width or a 1/4" thread before ordering, and budget for the adapter if the listing doesn't mention a phone holder.

Start by deciding whether your phone or an action camera is going on top, because that single answer eliminates most of this list. Camera owners have five strong options; phone owners have the K&F CONCEPT ready to go, or the PellKing plus an adapter. I'd default to the PellKing for one reason the other six can't match: 79in of reach permanently changes what fits in your frame, and no amount of clamp cleverness substitutes for standing further back. Buy the adapter at the same time and you'll never wait on a second delivery.
