I have been wanting to start self filming and the advice everywhere is to just start with my phone so that is what I am going to do (I have filmed others with lower quality handy cams in the past). However there is a few things that are hanging me up on jumping in that I am hoping somebody with more experience/knowledge self filming with a phone will help me with.
1. LANC Remote for a iPhone? The thought of trying to get decent footage having to use my fingers to zoom in and out sounds miserable. I have tried to find a LANC remote type plug in controller for a phone and have not had any luck. How are other self filming phone users managing this? I have considered a small bluetooth remote off amazon and attaching it to my fluid head handle somehow but am concerned that it would be delayed control and the lack of ability to control the focus would be frustrating. Any solutions?
2. What is your favorite phone attachment device for on your fluid head? The idea of using a painted arrow mag head seems nice because of the simplicity of magnetism. Or is it better to go with a more formal attachment so that I am not dropping my phone 20 feet?
3. Any highly recommended simple cages that would allow the attachment of a wireless mic system and yet maintain magnetic ability for utilizing a painted arrow mag?
Thanks for the help!
