It had to happen.

The rise of the belfie (that’s a selfie of your butt, in case you were wondering) has inspired the creators of photo-based social networking site ON.com to produce the Belfie Stick, a contraption designed to make it easier for butt-pic fans to take pics of their butt.

The Belfie Stick, which unlike regular selfie sticks features a hinge halfway along allowing for easy angle adjustment, lets you get your smartphone in exactly the right position without the need of a mirror and without having to bend or twist in a way that could conceivably result in hospitalization.

Once you and your butt are in the perfect position, you simply hit the button on the end of the stick and voila! – you should have in your possession a fantastic photo of your fundament, perfect for sharing on social media sites.

While it may well be a useful tool for capturing the perfect image of your backside, it could also prove handy for self-examination purposes should you need to check a troubling posterior-based problem. Imagine, the Belfie Stick would allow you to easily and comfortably grab a close-up shot that you could then use to make an informed decision about whether or not a visit to the doc was in order. Just don’t leave any such images in the cloud, OK?

By this point you’re probably thinking one of two things. Either:

1 – Oh dear, the selfie craze has finally hit rock bottom, or
2 – Where can I get one of these?

According to the Belfie Stick’s website, this unique tool costs a buttock-clenching $80 and can be pre-ordered here. Will you be getting one?

When it comes to high-octane sports and other speedy scenarios, our phone cameras can only do so much to capture the action. That’s why there’s such a big market for action cameras, and one of the O.G. camera companies in this realm is GoPro. For years, GoPro has been delivering HD and 4K cameras that are both durable and user-friendly, which is why we’re glad to shine a light on this fantastic offer we found while vetting Walmart deals:

The excellent intermediate Canon EOS R10 camera is $86 off at Walmart today
Canon EOS R10 camera mirrorless with STM lens attached and flash up

I recently grabbed a Canon EOS R50 bundle for a trip to the Dominican Republic. I did a lot of research before I made my decision, sifting through the best camera deals, and the two options I essentially narrowed down were the R50 and the EOS R10. The biggest difference between the two is that the R10 gives you more granular control over some of the photoshoot settings. R50, on the other hand, was designed assuming you'll mostly use the automatic shooting modes. That's a great option for novices, while the R10 is better for intermediate to more skilled photographers. Why am I telling you all of this? Because the excellent Canon EOS R10 camera is on sale at Walmart for Black Friday, discounted by $86 to $760 instead of $846. It is one of the better early Black Friday camera deals I've found so far. It comes with an 18-45mm lens. Needless to say, that's a great deal. Comparatively, the R10 with body only -- no lens -- is .
