The more surprising aspect to this review (maybe I missed this part, I skimmed) is how there wasn't much discussed about having a bigger and more ergonomic hand mount for the phone when shooting. I don't even mean with all sorts of nifty expensive stabilizers, just something to hold onto the phone and shoot better. I did see use of a small tripod at one point and a mount to a vehicle but for the hands, nothing.
Maybe I'm getting old but I find it difficult to shoot good photos even with the bulkiest of phone cases, while also being able to hit the shutter without shifting my camera drastically.
I personally use a Note so the S pen works great as a built in remote shutter (especially nice for tripod shots) but I can't for the life of me get good shots with the UI shutter or even volume/side button rockers. Sure you have voice controls or shutter timmers but timmers are not ideal in most shooting conditions from my experience, unless you have humans. You can also burst or drop frames from video but ick, shooting professional photos with a phone as is seems unnecessarily uncomfortable to me.
- vlovich123 5y agoI haven't tried this but apparently the Apple watch has integration for showing you a preview & letting you take a photo. More expensive for sure but probably similar utility as the pen approach?
- eric_h 5y agoit does - I've used it for properly aiming a tripod video recording setup when it was in a location where I could not see the screen (well above me).
