Looq Remote Shutter - taking selfies and group photos was never this simple


Everybody loves taking selfies. Since the advent of Instagram, the amount of selfies has raised quite much. Still, it’s a bit difficult to take selfies. We need some kind of device that could help us take the perfect selfy by ourselves or we could ask someone else to do it for us.

Look at the new Looq Remote Shutter (No pun intended) it’s an arm length phone holder to snap those perfect selfies or shoot a couple of pics with your friends. You don’t have to ask strangers to take a picture for your when you’re out and no friend/family has to be left out when taking a group photo.

This device is much different from other holders. It comes with a remote shutter, so you can snap the picture at the right time instead of relying on the timer shot. You don’t need to carry tripods with you anymore. Best of all, it’s battery less, so just plug it in and you’re good to go. All you need is a special app which is available for both iOS and Android.

The Looq Remote Shutter is available for $69.99 via Looq Store.
