"Lots of professional photographers say the best camera is the one you’re carrying. If that’s true, then millions of iPhone users are packing some excellent videography gear everywhere they go.
But carrying around your iPhone and actually capturing great imagery with it are two different things entirely. Want to be the next J.J. Abrams? Cut some scenes using these five iPhone movie-making tips.
1. Invest in gear to improve your shots
While the iPhone’s convenience makes it great for capturing just about any moment, adding some hardware to your handset will result in more polished shots. The $59 iKlip Grip helps to stabilize a shot by giving videographers something to hold. It can also serve as a tripod, so you can even get in the shot.
But the iKlip’s short little legs are no match for the extendable stems included in Apple’s $299 Videography Kit for iPhone 6. Consisting of a Manfrotto Compact Action Tripod, a MeFOTO tripod mounting adapter, a Shure digital mic, and an Olloclip lens (all wrapped in an Incase tripod sling), this setup is everything you need to be a Coppola-on-the-go. But the Olloclip is hardly the only lens in town. Moment has both wide and telephoto lenses ($99 each) that screw onto a slim mounting bracket, making your phone not only look great, but make videos appear polished and distinctive."
