<\/p>\nSelfie sticks are getting popular everywhere. I just came back from Japan on a personal trip and I can attest that people cannot leave home without the Selfie Stick. Now, if you are in South Korean, you will need to be a little careful\u00a0if you are not carrying an approved version.<\/p>\n

At first when I saw this news, I was quite surprised. A Selfie Stick is a Selfie Stick. It is an extension of the arm and nothing else. After reading the content, I realized that they were referring to the “electromagnetic radiation emitter” issue. According to the report, those selfie sticks with embedded triggers (via Bluetooth) to activate the camera on the smartphone <\/span>is the subject of this strange rule.<\/p>\n The report mentions: “The problem, the ministry says, is that such units are designated as communications equipment given their use of radio waves to provide a wireless link between separate devices. As such they have to be tested and certified to ensure they don’t pose a disruption to other devices using the same radio frequency.”<\/span><\/p>\n Not sure how determine South Korea is enforcing this rule but I doubt it will be effective. Seems that they are currently only interested in those Selfie Sticks that has the embedded trigger.<\/span><\/p>\n What do you think? I find a little amusing since there are so many devices that communicate via Bluetooth. Of course I understand they are worried about those devices that has built in communication module (Smartphone). However, given the range of the Bluetooth, I doubt it will be a concern. If it is, how about those remote triggers that are sold separately?<\/p>\n I wonder how they are going to enforce it.<\/p>\n [ad#img] If you are in South Korean, you will need to be a little careful when you are using the Selfie Stick.
