What devices do I need to buy for mobile photography? The convenience of carrying mobile phone cameras has given the public the possibility and interest of playing photography. Like camera photography, mobile phone photography also needs a "steady" word. Although some flagships today are equipped with stabilization. But most people still use a thousand-dollar machine. The following is based on the feeling of playing with a thousand yuan mobile phone in recent years, talking about the two most basic reasons for the purchase of additional small devices: mobile phone small bracket + selfie stick. It's a small cost but it really works.
1, mobile phone small bracket. Small and portable, the stand is equipped with a standard 1/4 nut for docking with a conventional photographic tripod. There are many small bracket shapes, and I chose the small picture on the left side of the following figure.
Mobile phone cameras are usually done by pinching the sides of the thin fuselage with their fingers, and if this is just a souvenir photo of life or travel, it is no problem. However, in creative photography, such a pinch mobile phone camera technique is not easy to use in some such as macro shooting, night shooting and special effects mode shooting, which require patience or a long period of shooting. After using the small arm of the mobile phone, you can use the four fingers and palm of one hand to stabilize the phone with the help of the small bracket, the thumb to click the "shutter button" (as shown above), and the other hand to free up some other auxiliary actions, such as: choose to click on the metering point or focus point. Below, combined with the original legend, take a look at the role of the phone's small bracket + selfie stick in some shooting subjects and shooting modes.
(1-1) With the help of a small bracket, place the flat bottom end of the small bracket on the guardrail by the side of the bridge, press it with your fingers, and take a night view photo.
(1-2) With the help of the small bracket, place the bottom end of the small bracket on the edge of the small stream on the sandy soil along the edge of the stream, close to the water surface, press it with your fingers, and take a photo of the stream taken in the "silk flowing water" mode of the mobile phone camera.
(1-3) Use the small stand of the mobile phone to increase the handheld stability, without adding an external lens, through the mobile phone camera in the maximum possible: the nearest shooting distance + appropriate digital zoom, the macro photos taken by the mobile phone.

Mobile macro: weevil
Mobile phone macro: Lamei
(1-4) With the help of a small bracket. Increase the stability of the phone, easy to carry out mobile phone camera: regular shooting, "panorama" shooting, "HDR" shooting.

2. Selfie stick. The selfie stick isn't just for self-shooting. Here, the selfie stick is used to extend the shooting distance of the mobile phone camera and shoot close to the subject. In practical shooting, some subjects are in the time when we can no longer get close, or can not (dare not) approach, this selfie stick plays a big role. In the picture below, the Svenhower's red frog, which stops at a distance, uses the selfie stick to complete close-up and panoramic shooting.
For example, the shooting of the black-browed akewarp snake below was also shot using a selfie stick (about 80cm safety distance).
Mobile phone small bracket + selfie stick, can cope with the needs of many shooting themes and scenes in mobile phone photography. Of course, if it is a targeted shooting scene, such as long-term time-lapse photography, etc., then it is necessary to use a solid conventional tripod or a miniature tripod with good stability. As for the external lens, I personally will not add it, because it will affect the quality of the film. In addition, if you want to use the mobile phone camera to shoot video, then you still need to configure a mobile phone stabilizer, so that you can keep the captured mobile phone video smooth and stable, without shaking. This is not easy to do with a handheld camera alone.
The small stand and selfie stick of the mobile phone, the length of the storage are 12 and 18cm respectively (taking my own as an example), the weight is very light, and it is easy to put into the pocket or clothing bag. Take it with you and use it at any time. Mobile phone camera + small bracket + selfie stick, entertainment photography "three-piece set".
