Patent: Canon takes the selfie stick to the next level | Canon Rumors

Here is an interesting patent that we never thought we’d see from Canon. This one is for a “selfie stick” with all sorts of controls. You can extend, retract and change the angle of the camera on the end. You also have control over the shutter button.

Could this be the next unique product from Canon to follow the PowerShot Zoom and PowerShot Pick?
