A phone tripod is literally a LIFE-SAVER in the field.
I’m from New Jersey so naturally, I love talking with my hands.
For me, it’s more comfortable to have my hands out and not have to hold my mic. PLUS, it gives me the opportunity to hold a prop that may be helpful in my storytelling.
For instance, let’s say you’re doing a story on the country’s heat wave, you can hold your water bottle up if you’re talking about staying hydrated (it would be hard to do with a mic in your hand as well your phone).
A phone tripod is a great way to be hands-free and have more freedom to be creative in your live shots.
I also swear by a fanny pack but that’s a post for another day!
