MIT students makes longest selfie stick

Published On : 12 Apr 2016   |  Reported By : Canaranews Network


Manipal: Armaan, son of Mohmed Soorinje and Rehana from Mangaluru created the longest selfie stick measuring 10.39 metres, which he demonstrated on the MIT grounds on Monday April 11. He is a student of sixth semester (B.Tech.) of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at MIT.

An attempt was made by him to enter the Guinness World Record by creating the world’s longest functional selfie stick. The present Guinness World Record holder for the world’s longest stick is Ben Stiller (USA) for his selfie stick which measured 8.56 metres.

Armaan had sent an application to the Guinness World Records about two months ago for creating a new record in longest selfie stick. In the beginning, he created the selfie stick using a steel rod. But it was heavy. Then he used aluminium as it was lighter and stronger, it was successful.

The demonstration of Armaan’s longest selfie stick was photographed and video-graphed to be sent to Guinness World Records in the presence of six witnesses – S.J. Kumaraswamy, Deputy Superintendent of Police, G.K. Prabhu, Director of MIT, B.H.V. Pai, Joint Director, Narayan Shenoy, Associate Director, B.K. Singh, Professor of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and Indrali Jayakar Shetty, General Manager of Badagabettu Credit Cooperative Society Ltd.
