(Australia-NewsWire.Com, June 27, 2015 ) Gold Coast, Australia -- Myka Creative Solutions announced today the launch of its flagship product, the MykaStik, a lightweight, high quality selfie stick designed to help users capture special moments with ease. The mykastik selfie stick is available exclusively on Amazon.com and launches just in time to capture the fun of summer. It's already a hit with consumers of all ages.
"I always thought selfie sticks were kind of silly at first, but I decided to take the MykaStik on a girls skiing trip and it was fantastic. It's weatherproof, so there's nothing to go wrong ," said Amber, a MykaStik customer. "It worked perfectly, held my phone without dropping it and had great angles to take pics of ourselves out and about everywhere we went. Plus it can get down to a really compact portable size or extend out as long as you need it."
The MykaStik Selfie Stick is made of high quality anodized aluminum tubes, can hold devices up to 500 grams and fully extends to 31.9 inches. It includes a smartphone gripper and strap, and a universal mount to attach smartphones, as well as compact cameras or action cameras, such as the GoPro.
The MykaStik is uniquely versatile and can be used in a variety of ways. An adjustable crystal ball head and thumbscrew lock facilitates multi-angle shooting. No battery or Bluetooth are required, making the MykaStik and all-weather solution, and guaranteed to work out of the box. However, a Bluetooth controller can be purchased separately if needed.
The MykaStik is available in five colors, including black, blue, gold, silver and tan. It's ideal for traveling, producing video diaries, video blogging, capturing nature and lifestyle shots, weddings, concerts, action shots and more.
"I am loving the selfie stick," said Heather Joseph, a MykaStik customer. "I purchased this for my niece the other day because she loves taking selfies of herself. I heard this was a great product after doing some researching and now understand why. This is a very high quality selfie stick."
From Ellen Degeneres' epic selfie taken at the Oscars to Beyoncé's use of a selfie stick in her music video, the selfie trend continues to dominate pop culture all over the world. Millions of selfies are taken each month, a practice largely driven by social platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and SnapChat, as well as increased mobile usage and adoption.
As selfies continue to grow in popularity researchers release data about men and women's selfie habits. New data from the UK reveals that young women spend five hours a week taking selfies. Data also shows:
1. 35 percent of women take selfies to share what they're doing with friends 2. 26 percent of women take selfies to record memories 3. 19 percent of men and women take selfies to show off 4. 76 percent of men, compared to 45 percent of women, take selfies to show off their bodies
A free video is available to illustrate how to use the MykaStik, including how to connect it to a mobile device and take photos at multiple angles.
The MykaStik is backed by a no-questions-asked, 12-month replacement warranty against manufacturer defects.
