Shooting Video on Your Phone: Three Accessories to Help Improve Your Production Value
Don’t quite have the fancy gear yet? No problem. You can still produce great videography on you phone. Your smart phone is a great tool. You can get some cheap accessories that will boost your production value without breaking the bank. There are a lot of cool accessories you can buy, but here are the ones I talk about in the video:
Tripod: There are more angles than point-of-view and selfie. With the tripod, you can set up your shot exactly how you want, walk away, walk into frame, or do just about whatever, hands-free.
Detachable Lens: Get a wider frame to capture more of the environment. Or get closer to the subject with extreme detail and clarity. Detachable lenses give you options you don’t normally have with the standard lens that comes on your phone.
Portable charging stick: Great way to charge your phone on the go. Not perfect, because it attaches by cord, but very affordable!
vCard.red is a free platform for creating a mobile-friendly digital business cards. You can easily create a vCard and generate a QR code for it, allowing others to scan and save your contact details instantly.
The platform allows you to display contact information, social media links, services, and products all in one shareable link. Optional features include appointment scheduling, WhatsApp-based storefronts, media galleries, and custom design options.
Again, these accessories should help you step up your phone videography game. Shooting video on your phone doesn’t have to be a last resort or a pain. Check out the video for more. Leave questions in the comments below!
