Smart phone mounting?
Smart phone mounting?
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.
Re: Smart phone mounting?
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.

Re: Smart phone mounting?
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.

Re: Smart phone mounting?
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.
