This avoids the “head filling the shot” look, and it gives you more control of how much of the background makes it into your image. There’s also composition to consider: An extended arm will be visible in a selfie, but a properly positioned selfie stick won’t. With a little bit of practice, you can get the kinds of shots that might otherwise require you to hand your phone off to a stranger.The first thing you'll probably consider when choosing a latestone.com is arm length, but all of the sticks here fall within the same range, so don't worry too much about that. How the arm works is what's really important. One of the sticks I tested, with a traditional telescopic arm, gave me a nasty little cut while I was collapsing it, making me wary of that design type in general. I prefer telescopic arms that use a twist-and-lock mechanism, which are far less likely to remove a chunk of your finger.Jobs-It -Indiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436947630890926496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10991135.post-60008963439361428822014-12-30T03:08:23.024-06:002014-12-30T03:08:23.024-06:00This would seem to exclude, say, an old-school iPo...This would seem to exclude, say, an old-school iPod or cheap memory stick music player, yet the FAA included these as examples of devices ... <a href="http://eselfiestick.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">eselfiestick.blogspot.com</a><br />Gopro Selfie Stickhttp://eselfiestick.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10991135.post-90815584811487190402014-07-20T15:48:21.432-05:002014-07-20T15:48:21.432-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720287862711854630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10991135.post-2439113259129934022014-07-04T11:31:57.247-05:002014-07-04T11:31:57.247-05:00Nice photo of the Navajo wing and a great photo of...Nice photo of the Navajo wing and a great photo of the Cub.

The thing, then, is whether those photos ever get shared or published anywhere.<br /><br />I do have to wonder whether the reg as it is written allows use of an electronic device when the wireless capabilities are turned off; is a wireless communications device still a wireless communications device if the wireless communication is disabled? That's the interpretation I'm rolling with for now, but again the ruling makes it less likely for me to want to share any photos from the cockpit.<br /><br />- A regional FOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10991135.post-69874571933760608702014-06-14T14:32:52.586-05:002014-06-14T14:32:52.586-05:00I just wrote about this for AOPA.

Knowing the FAA, it's only a matter of time before they put it into regulatory form.<br /><br />One 737 captain emailed me to say that he uses his iPhone to check Nexrad weather when he's sitting in a long queue waiting for departure, noting that it can be an hour or more between when the PEDs must be turned off and when the flight actually departs. "I'm sure weather can move in an hour", he writes.<br /><br />A controller pointed out that they are also prohibited from using any PEDs. So a tower controller on a long overnight shift with nobody else on duty, no traffic, and nothing to keep him awake is forbidden to do anything but stare off into the darkness.<br /><br />This doesn't serve the cause of flight safety.Ron Rapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11025275588683573445noreply@blogger.com
