    Basic beginner tripod for content creation (food and product still shoots)

    This is what you want to hold the phone. Unlike regular spring loaded clamps, this one uses a screw to tighten/loosen, so it won't apply too excess force on big phones and damage them. Tighten only as much as you need. If your primary use is indoors, on table tops, then you may not want a...

    Weird thing I noticed last week at my home
