It used to seem a little frivolous to invest in things like mini tripods for your smart phone camera. But now that everyone is jumping into Instagram video and the Vine app, we can see why products like these are starting to fly off the shelves.
Photojojo, always our go-to source for all things cool in the world of mobile photography, is offering the Slingshot Stabilizer, which is genius in that it does double duty as a stabilizer in hand, or a tripod on a surface. It can even mount onto a professional tripod should you have the need.
The ballhead mount means you can swivel the phone instead of moving the tripod around to get the right angle. And the grippy grip part is so great for those times you’re terrified you’ll drop your phone while snapping. Say, at the pool? On a boat ride? In the sand somewhere? I think you’ll see a huge difference in your photos and videos.
It holds any smartphone at all, which is pretty awesome. (Yay for all you Windows Phone and Blackberry users!) You can even keep your case on, which? Hallelujah. I hate having to take it off for camera accessories. Talk about missing the shot. –Liz
