Play all your photos and videos for sure thanks to our accessories kit to film with a smartphone!
The photo occupies more than ever an important place in our modern society. To such a point that the brands are moving to offer each new version of their flagship smartphone a better photo sensor, "breaking competition". Without slipping into the heart of the word war between Apple and its rivals, we offer you our ranking of the 7 travel accessories to possess if you intend to make your smartphone your main camera, regardless of its brand.
An image stabilizer
What's the point of turning sequences if all the images you're filming will make the viewers believe that you're shaking? As great directors opt for an image stabilizer. If it is true that most of the high-end smartphones today have a stabilization at the level of their photo sensor, it shows its limits when it comes to not filming static subjects anymore.
We opted for the best portable image stabilizer at the moment, DJI’s Osmo Mobile, which is compatible with most of the terminals available in the current shops. Concretely this device in addition to the removal of the earthquakes, fluidizes the image while allowing to achieve more easily cinematic plans, including Timelapse and ActiveTrack.
A mini smartphone lens
It’s true, every year Apple and Samsung remind us that their smartphones have the best photo sensors of the moment. It’s not totally wrong but even they can’t turn a mobile device into a professional camera.
To overcome this problem, some accessories offer mini objectives, in order to film in a wide angle without much pain. Among them are Aukey, who has become almost unavoidable in the accessories market today.
A selfie perch
Destining more for a photo use than video the selfies perch also has its place in our ranking, if you intend to make frontal plans. And guess what? It is still the Aukey brand that offers the most practical perches and the best value for money.
A waterproof cover
Like the greatest directors, your film must have an aquatic scene. If, like many users you don’t have a watertight smartphone such as iPhone 7 or LG G5, another more convenient and less expensive solution will make it easier for you to see in water or in rain without risking deteriorating your smartphone. This is a waterproof cover.
Our choice focused on a fairly basic cover, which makes the strict minimum. It should be noted that if you think like some users of a transparent plastic bag, it will be difficult given the opacity of these plastic bags. Opt for a waterproof cover, at your terminal's measurements.
External battery
It’s pretty awkward to start a shooting and end up with a few battery-course shots while it’s even at this key moment that François, one of your friends/actors, understood how to make the most beautiful of the grimaces.
To avoid this type of disconnection, invest in the acquisition of an external battery. Otherwise, depending on your means, choose the one that has the greatest capacity possible. Our choice in this radius turned to the external battery of Magigo. This is for two reasons: it offers a suitable energy capacity of 15,000 mAh, and it is rechargeable to the solar. So, if your scenes are outside you'll never miss what to feed your smartphones.
A mini tripod
In addition to the optical stabilizer, another accessory will bring more stability to your captures, it is the tripod. In addition, it offers the possibility to turn yourself into an actor in your own film. You launch the capture and veer the smartphone on the tripod and then join the scene.
Among other things, the one we chose offers the particularity of being able to be fixed to surfaces vertically. Ideal for taking from a tree for example.
A roller wagon
Last useful accessory to film like a pro with your smartphone, and not least, this is the roulette trolley.
Indeed, if your film will feature filmed scenes on the road or if you simply intend to move with your smartphone's camera, nothing is worth this trolley. It sits on a flat surface and allows to make straight, curved and linear movements.
Here you know everything from the perfect kit to film like a pro with your smartphone. It is up to you now to let your creativity be expressed and do not hesitate to share your best creations on our different accounts on social networks or in the comments below!
