Smartphone Tripods / Mobile Phone Tripods
Smartphone Tripods Advice
Smartphone / cell phone tripods for shake-free recordings
With a cell phone tripod, it is very easy to record better pictures and video recordings shake-free. Especially for TikTok or Instagram reels, cell phone tripods or selfie sticks are ideal, they simplify the recording of high-quality content.
Cell phone tripod vs. camera tripod
If you own an SLR or a system camera, you may not immediately realize the usefulness of cell phone tripods. Of course, camera tripods can be used for the smartphone, but they are often not compact and usually very heavy. Which is why a smartphone tripod is much more interesting for the next trip or day out. Because cell phone tripods are usually smaller, more compact and, above all, lighter. Furthermore, they have interesting features like an integrated shutter release.
Designs / models of cell phone tripods
When choosing the right cell phone tripod, there are some differences by which to distinguish the various tripods:
- flexible tripods with movable legs
- Selfie sticks with monopod
- height adjustable cell phone tripods
- Gimbals for smartphones / cell phones
- Mini tripods
Of course, it is important to consider in which area you want to use the tripod later. For example, tripods with flexible legs are interesting for use in different positions, they can be attached to branches, railings, or other objects and therefore offer great versatility, but the disadvantage is the dependence on the height, if there is no object at the right height nearby so it may not be right for your area of application.
Then perhaps a tripod with a height adjustment is interesting for you, thereby you are freer in the choice of perspective, as well as in the choice of the right height. Other versions / models of smartphone tripods are also equipped with non-slip feet, so the phone is safe even on smooth and uneven surfaces.
Special features for vloggers, some tripods from Joby offer the possibility to connect a light, with which you can produce video content even easier and more efficient.
The selfie sticks give you the opportunity to not only capture them and stunning surroundings, but also make it easier to take group photos.
Tips for better photos with the smartphone
If you take a lot of photos with your phone, you might find the following tips particularly interesting:
- Use grid view to better observe the rule of thirds to create interesting images
- Use negative space to your advantage. Open spaces make the picture look calmer and the object in focus slides further into the viewer's focus
- Use unusual perspectives
- Use puddles and other reflections / specular reflections. They make the picture more interesting and give creative space for the viewer
- Pay attention to symmetry, because symmetry is pure harmony for the human eye, nothing is more pleasing to our eye than symmetry!
- Use color accents! Stand out in a color in a monochrome background: for example, a flower in front of a gray concrete wall. The classic colorkey is no longer really modern, but has also lost its impact, as it was used extensively by many photographers in the past
- Interesting patterns and structures - By this we mean repeating elements, geometric shapes and objects, but also colors
- Use the different lenses of your camera, but not necessarily beyond that. Many modern smartphones have more than one lens. Many of these phones usually have a standard wide-angle, an ultra-wide-angle, and a telephoto lens. If you zoom beyond that, you usually go into digital zoom, which has a significant loss of quality
- Set the exposure manually, setting the exposure manually takes your understanding of photography further and lets you test the limits of the camera. This is also how you develop your own style
- Clean your phone camera regularly, because you always put your phone in your pants, it can happen that you get your fingers on the lens of your camera and it gets a grease spot
- Use the RAW format of your phone camera
- Edit your photos! This way you get the maximum out of your picture, because you can change the colors and the exposure afterwards
