I'm interested if you find something. A Bluetooth camera trigger would be quite useful.
For this month's photo contest I'd been wanting a remote shutter release for getting a bird photo. My approach was to try the 'take a picture from terminal command from the phone control 'wiki. I figured I could ssh in from a non-threatening distance and trigger a shot. But instead it didn't work at all, no picture captured, and in the interest of time I just stalked braver birds.
And guess what I just found! The c key takes a picture in N900 stock camera! I guess it's c for 'capture'. There are other hotkeys, too. I've had this phone over 5 years and never noticed.

which has become 'stock' in a way. The real stock one doesn't have the shortcut.

Interesting. I too am looking for a monopod or selfie stick to use for my N900, N9, and Lumia devices. I wonder if there's one that's lightweight where it can transform from a monopod to a tripod. That would be cool.

Ok, apt-get install extkbd fixed the stick pairing with my N900(thanks Freemangordon), clicking the shutter button on the stick sends ↵ on xterm, now just need to bind Return ↵ to shutter and print a gripper. I will post the gripper/adapter on thingiverse.com once I get around to it.

At first I thought selfie sticks were kind of stupid, then my wife mentioned that since she has known me in college she only has a few pictures including me in the shot as I always have the camera, including few family shots with me and the kids.

I just bought one of these iKross monopod with mini tripod attachment on eBay, $15.99. I'll let you know how it is once it arrives. It comes in black, blue.

OK there is already a N900 tripod mount on Thingiverse so no need to re-invent the wheel(Ithink you can order from Straysis there if you have no 3D printer).
3D print this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:387442
Well unless you have a Mugen double cell N900, I will have to mod this to fit for my phone I guess.
A 30-40mm concave mirror stickered to the phone mount will help with aiming.
All we need now is to bind ↵ to the camera trigger and we can has selfi-stick for N900!
this is the command to fire the camera
gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video1 num-buffers=1 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! jpegenc ! filesink location=frontcam.jpg
Though I think it would be better to just bind ↵ like c is in the regular camera app.
It might be nice to have a selfi app or even a script and launcher button on the desktop so that ↵ only works as trigger when wanted for use with selfi sticks.
Ideally we can stick a .deb in this thread with the script and have it depend extkbd, maybe it can even make it to the repos.
or this?

It uses Bluetooth HID keyboard driver and when paired to my laptop sends a Return ↵ signal when in a text editor.
It doesn't seem to want to pair with my N900, the pairing completes as a trusted device and then it goes back into pairing mode. On an android tablet pops up for pairing as both a keyboard and a little phone icon.
If I can get it to pair up how can I bind the N900 photo shutter to the return key, I do not see a permanent binding being a problem though only taking the return from a HID keybaord would probably be better.
Is there a way to bind the shutter to a button BH-214 bluetooth headset as an alternate? Again I doubt this key binding would interfere with normal music shuffle while taking photographs.
Any ideas?
