Nikon Launches N-MP001 (Selfie Stick)


The trend of selfie is undeniable strengthens the position of smartphone camera as the flagship camera for most of modern people. Digital camera, especially a pocket camera that used to accompany us while on vacation, is getting abandoned by many people.

In the mid of selfie popularity, the selfie stick or known as monopod is also becoming a mandatory accessory for smartphones owners, but is it only smartphones that can be paired with the selfie stick?

Nikon has a different opinion; they have just launched a selfie stick for their pocket camera products. Nikon N-MP001 (Selfie Stick) is compatible with a number of Nikon Coolpix line, including L32, AW130, S33, S3700, S6900, S7000, S9900 and Nikon mirrorless camera 1 J5 that has just announced.

Nikon N-MP001 (Selfie Stick) has a physical length of 18.5 cm. The body can be pulled up to 72.5 cm long. Its weight is 186 grams, and it's able to sustain a pocket camera with a maximum weight of 397 grams.

At the bottom, there is a grip made from foam to strengthen your grip. There's also a strap accompanies this accessory to be easily brought by its users.

Unlike the general smartphone selfie stick that's clamping the device, the Nikon selfie stick is paired on tripod socket of the camera. The operation is relying on a timer, not with a Bluetooth-based remote control as it is commonly included in the most of selfie stick packages.

Can Nikon N-MP001 (Selfie Stick) overcome the decline sales of pocket cameras? Can this accessory gain back the consumer interest toward pocket camera in the era that's dominated by smartphones? Or actually this is just a comeback of monopod that may be a bit forgotten? Well, let's see its progress in the future.
