Tripods for the Android or iPhone

Years ago when a person went
to apply for auto insurance,
often times their agent would
suggest they put a disposable
camera in the glove box in case
they ever had an accident. This way the driver could take
photos at the scene of the
accident to help protect their
interests. In this day and age,
I'm not sure they even make
disposable cameras again other than for weddings. Today
most people have a cell phone
with a built-in camera.

With people carrying cameras
with them all the time in their
cell phone, it's important to
consider other accessories to
use with those built-in cameras
such as a tripod. Yes, that's right, there are tripods made
just for a cell phone. These
tripods are lightweight, usually
flexible so they can even be
used to wrap or latch onto
something to get just the right shot. For instance, there are
camera tripods for Android
and iPhone that you can wrap
around a bicycle handlebar to
film shots while bicycling.
These tripods would also be ideal for use no matter what
the sport. It helps in getting
the right shot without shaking
around.

Sometimes it's important
though to have a tripod for
your iPhone or Android that
isn't flexible. You may need a
tripod that is small,
lightweight, yet sturdy. Some cell phone tripods extend to
full height so that you aren't
left bending over breaking
your back to get the shot.
Often these sturdy tripods for a
cell phone are also interchangeable with your
camera or video camera. This
would allow for much more
flexibility in use.

Another option, particularly
for the person on the go, is the
keychain tripod. Available in a
variety of colors and sizes,
these miniature tripods are
portable and lightweight. They can be used as an accessory
and simply put on the
keychain. It even fits right in
your pocket!
