Cameras on smartphones are getting better every year, you can even record in 4k and at 240 fps! Crazy! However there are still small upgrades and accessories to help you capture better sound and stabilize your footage. If you film on your phone for YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Periscope, or anything else, pick up some gear to make your recordings better.

SwitchPod Handheld Tripod

SwitchPod works with any camera phone, you just need a smartphone tripod adapter.

Switch between handheld and tripod modes (and back again) in seconds.

SwitchPod is lightweight, compact, and nearly indestructible. Oh, and I co-invented it too. :)

Phone Tripod Adapter

To attach your smartphone to a tripod you’ll need a phone tripod adapter and this is the simplest and cheapest one I’ve found. It slides open easily to accommodate larger phones. (We're looking at you plus-sized iPhones.)

 

Rode SmartLav+ Microphone

Probably the best way you can increase you smartphone footage is by upgrading your audio game. The smartLav+ delivers deep sound at a bargain price.

 

Rode VideoMic Me Microphone

If you are looking for better onboard sound from your phone but don't want to use a lavalier mic then the VideoMic Me is what you are looking for.
