Okay, so I've had one of these for a while. 

818Om32on0L._AC_SL1500_.thumb.jpg.102b0283609b0843ca99ddb2484981ca.jpg1426665767_91gqDBdL1L._AC_SL1500_.thumb.jpg.779217247884f3f1d9a41c2ecbd8fb72.jpg

Over all, I've been very happy with it. I use it to record my golf swing (and other stuff too). My only issue with it is that it will only capture in Portrait Mode. Not Landscape Mode. 

This thing is easy to use. Secures your phone really well. Easily fits in your bag. 

Well, today at the range the wind blew my bag over and the thing shattered into about 5 pieces. (My phone's case got scratched as well, but the phone seems to be fine.) I'm planning on replacing this thing. But I thought I'd see what you all are using as maybe there's something better out there. 

Does anyone have a device they like that will work well for capturing their golf swing in either portrait or landscape orientation? 

 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Portrait mode is fine for recording your golf swing. Arguably better because the swing is more vertical than horizontal so you don't need to capture as much background stuff in your frame.

All of my swings are recorded in portrait mode.

I use a GorillaPod (the medium one, not the small one) and a Square Jellyfish mount.

I have the same clip and have used others that are of a similar concept. I have never considered landscape mode for golf, but any clip that has a swivel should work.

I’ve got a selfie golf clip that I haven’t used in ages and have been meaning to donate/sell. You can have mine if you want, as a thanks for the deal on the radspeed driver.

Nowadays I use a tripod from Amazon and a cell phone older that mounts to the tripod. All together less than $50 I think.

I also use a Jellyfish smartphone holder. Actually have 3 of them. It has the standard screw thing so you can attach anything to it basically.

The reason I'd like it to also have a landscape mode is because there have been times I've wanted to use it for group pictures at golf events. It's rarely a big deal as usually there's somebody around willing to snap the picture for us. I also like to be able to use it to record video for a video VLOG (of which I've only done 2). I just thought it might be a nice feature, if it existed. 

But, yeah, I take all my swing captures in portrait mode too. 

I do own a GorlliaPod, (technically its my wife's) so I can always use it until such time as I can replace my SelfieGolf.

I use something called the Glif.

Then Square Jellyfish mount is what you want. It has a standard screw mount to go on any tripod and can rotate to hold your phone in portrait or landscape mode.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
