This Man Invented the Selfie Stick in 1983

A recent BBC report explained how Ueda, a former employee of camera company Minolta, created his “telescopic extender stick” so he could take shots of himself and his family using his film camera. The idea came to him when, during a vacation with his wife in France, a kid ran off with his camera after he’d asked the child to take their picture.
Surefire hit?
Convinced that his selfie stick would become a hit with holiday snappers, Ueda submitted the design (below) to the U.S. patent office in 1983, which published it two years later.

Figure 17a shows that with a 1983 camera, you're sure to get a decent arm workout.

Judging from that vacation pic, it looks like he needs to develop a second kind of "selfie stick" for his wife....
