Phone cameras continue to increase in quality, but they will never complete replace their full-size, dedicated to taking pictures counterparts. And yet, most of our pictures come from iPhones and Androids because it’s just far more convenient than lugging around a DSLR to take pictures and a laptop for post. The Shoulderpod Smartphone Rig bridges the gap between smartphone and professional camera with a tripod mount, filmmaker grip and traveler stand. The 3 in 1 concept is pretty simple to operate. Open the adjustable grip and then tighten down the rubber pads on your smartphone of choice with the thumbscrew. If you just want the stand function, you’re done right now. If you want your phone on a tripod, screw the tripod into the base. Using it as a filmmaker grip only requires sliding the handstrap (this is optional, but a good idea) over the grip knob and then screwing it into the tripod hole. One device. Three functions.
