How to make a selfie shot with bullet time effect (looks like E! channel's GlamCam 360), using almost any camera or smartphone, with or without stabilization, 360 or not 360. Unlike the glam cam, you won't need a camera rig or array to do this!

The bullet time effect was first used in the Matrix, and then later by Swiss freeskier Nicolas Vuignier, who used a winged stabilizer on a string (Centriphone and Centripro). Recently the effect became popular again thanks to Insta360's ad campaign for the Insta360 ONE 360 camera. The Insta360 ONE uses image stabilization and a high frame rate so you can spin it around without a stabilizer. My method is different because it works with almost any camera, with or without stabilization, whether 360 or not 360. The method I use involves a swivel adapter that can clamp onto almost any selfie stick or monopod. As long as you have a selfie stick or monopod for your camera or phone, and your camera is light enough to swing around, it can work with this method.
