For what it's worth I have a selfie device which I picked up at SCaLE. It's not a stick but just a bluetooth button on a keyring.
Kinda like this thing:- http://shopping.rediff.com/product/bluetooth- remote-shutter-portable-selfie-clicker-for-iphone-ipad-android- sa/12547946 You'll note it has two buttons. Using xev on my desktop I discovered that the "iOS" button presses Vol+. The "Android" button presses Enter.

I had enough time to check out what what keycode it sends when pressing the shutter button: Qt.Key_MediaTogglePlayPause So I guess all it takes is to add a Keys.onPressed handler to the camera app and trigger the photo shutter or start/stop recording when in video mode.
