I am looking for opinions/advice on using my smartphone as my camera on the trail. I’d like to shoot some video but feel holding the phone while hiking is risky—i.e., I don’t want to drop it.
Does anyone use a pistol grip to add security and ease of use?
Any ideas/suggestions?
I’ve found a few that look promising:
Shoulderpod S2, which is a bit heavy (147 grams / 5.1 ounces, according to an email from the manufacturer)
GRIPT Rig—looks well designed, secure and light (2.24 ounces, according to item description. Does not include a handle. I think a handle needs to be added because the velcro is small.
Bike mount—I am not sure if it would be suitable.
