Smart phone mounting?

[dai]

Can anyone suggest a good cheapish bracket to mount a phone onto a lens tripod mount for taking video whilst also taking stills with the camera.

I use a phone holder from Mefoto ( https://www.mefoto.com/de/products/side ... one-holder ) with a hot shoe to tripod thread adaptor. The mefoto bracket base is threaded to accept either a 1/4" tripod thread or a 3/8" one and its edges are shaped so it can fit into an Arca Swiss mount also.

I've been using these two bits to mount my phone onto my camera's hotshoe, no problems so far. If you only want to go to a tripod mount you'd only need the first one. They're pretty generic so no doubt you might find similar things (maybe cheaper) on eBay or elsewhere.

Thanks guys, appreciate the info, the Mefoto looks a proper job if a bit dearer and the Amazon one looks cheap but will do the job for now to see how good or bad I am at video and still photography at the same time, then buy the Mefoto one later.
