I
already knew that another essential piece of gear for this project
would be tripods. Over the years, I have collected a couple. The
first one is very cheap, and only goes so high. The second tripod is
a bit better, and has many different points of articulation, stands
taller, and is more sturdy. However, the problem is that neither
tripod is suited for iPhones. In fact, iPhones don't seem that they
are built for tripods at all. I wondered if there was an iPhone case,
or a specially suited tripod for iPhones. I couldn't find one after a
quick search, so I improvised.
However, the improvisation came easy:
the OSMO gimbal has a built-in jack for tripods, so that solved one
problem. But what about the second iPhone? There were a bunch of
silly hack-things that I saw online. But none of them was stable
enough or versatile enough to really serve what I was looking for. So
I used rubber bands to tie the iPhone to the tripod. To keep it from
being scratched, I put my driver's license and several tissues
between the screen of the phone and the tripod. The hassle here is
that the rubber bands are wrapped around the phone and the tripod in
such a way that articulating the tripod isn't really possible. That
was fine with me.
I also needed a tripod for the light box. So that means for each shoot, I set up three tripods. That means for each shoot I had to lug around three tripods. This was a bit of a pain.
