The National Gallery Bans Selfie-Sticks

Photo features AFUNTA Extendable Selfie Handheld Stick Monopod Pod sold by Amazon (also photo credit?), click to purchase. Lovely blue handle. 

Love it or loath it, the National gallery's recent change in it's photography policy has not gone unnoticed. Cameras and phones now roam the halls and corridors free, you should also give up any hope of ever seeing any famous artworks (eg Sunflowers) up close, even at closing time. 

But all is not lost, BBC has just reported the NT has decided to draw the line at selfie sticks, since they classify under the category of tripods. The logic is watertight since most of us would use two legs and an arm to operate it.
