Phone-specific tripods
Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2022 6:05 pm
Was doing research and thought I’d try to get some feedback here. I did a search and don’t come up with much.
I’m a flyfishing backpacker with a pretty high base weight of 23lbs (mostly from cheap gear that I’m slowly upgrading). A dedicated camera is out of the question (budget and weight reasons) as I carry all the fishing gear already. Plus I just don’t want to add more gear to the list! Prefer to stick to my new-ish iPhone just for simplicity.
After my last trip, I’d love to get better shots and I’m considering getting a tiny tripod (along with doing some photography 101 schooling as well). My first idea was to get one of those flexible-leg pods; figured I could attach it to a trekking pole stuck in the ground. Not sure if a clamp mount is better for that. Curious about what people’s experiences are with phone-specific setups or any product recommendations.
Weight is probably the most pressing consideration, followed by ease of setup/use.
