Something like this for the POD. Not sure there is a remote control for the phone though, may have to use self timer function on it mate

Amazon or Ebay you can get a tripod that will take phone or camera with a remote that switches between camera or phone operating systems for less than £15. Mine was £12.99 and has worked fine for 18 months. Loads of choice at different prices.

The GorillaPod Tripod looks pretty useful.

I just use a phone holder on a bank stick, and voice activated. You can crop and straighten any photos on your phone after you've popped the kipper back.

I have The back part of a Redundant bivvy station and a camera adaptor From my go pro and I have attached it to my portalite one of those cheap phone holders screws into that and that holds the phone
10 minutes mucking about getting it set up first time and then I just unscrew the knuckle part and put that Back in the barrow
4ft from the phone and job done

Same can be done with a couple of 15 mm copper pipe clips and a bank stick with a bank stick adaptor

My pal has a generic phone tripod from eBay, that's works a treat for him. It's cheap and light weight and comes with a phone holder.

If you want something with a bit more quality, manfrotto do a folding phone holder which will mount to any standard tripod boss or bank stock adapter.

Manfrotto and Joby also make very good tripods, although Jobys tend to be fairly short

If you use an iPhone search ‘Hey camera' in the App Store

No need for remotes nowdays, grab Whistle Camera Pro or just the free version for your Android phone. Works a treat. All you have to do is whistle and it takes a snap. I tend just to use the video function instead as I like it better as a format.

As for a tripod: they're easy enough to get from places like eBay or Amazon, just depends if you want a cheap or expensive one. What you will have to look for is a phone holder that'll sit on a tripod that holds your phone in place, and one with a shoe that's meant for a camera as most tripod's are meant for cameras. You might strike lucky and get a tripod that's specifically suited for a mobile.

A tripod is a game changer as you can while away those long winter sessions watching films from the comfort of you bivv. A single bankstick is well pony, cheap, but pony. Nah, tripod all day.

Photo Timer + is a good app for iPhone. You can set the initial count down, number of shots and time between shots. Works really well.

I usually do

10 seconds before first shot
3 second gap
12 shots total.

Used it Friday evening and got decent pics of both sides of the fish in one round 👍🏼


Just realised that's not answering the initial tripod question at all!

And also the guy has got a Galaxy and not an iPhone. Rob.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
