Hey all, 

I feel like there has to be a thread already about this, but I can't seem to find it.  So, if you know, feel free to just direct me there.   

I would like to videotape my swing at the range this summer, but I can't find a good way to prop my iphone up at the right spot.   does anyone know of a good apparatus I could buy?  or maybe like some sort of holder I could put on my golf bag?

Do a search for Ram Mounts. They have mounts for all kinds of stuff. I know one guy has a mount for his phone that clamps to golf cart roof post.

i use their products for gps mounts in my boats. Top notch stuff

I'm using this one with my Samsung phone:

The spring-loaded clamp for the camera/phone comes in two sizes, for larger or smaller phones, or can be unscrewed to use with a camera with a screw mount.  I got mine at Best Buy, so I could check to be sure I got the right size.

I'm cheap and already have a couple tripods, so I made my own with a 2" binder clip. Similar to this...

Edit: BTW, you don't need the solder if you don't have it or want to use it. You can just drill a hole in the binder clip and use the nut on the inside of the clip to attach it to the mounting bolt on the tripod.

Look on Amazon as well - they sell lots of adaptors to clip phones to tripods.  Mine's similar to this:

I have a metal version of this on a small tripod and it is great.  It is stable and I'm able to record vertical or horizontal.

Don't have a pic but I got a 54" tripod with a smartphone holder attachment (adjustable jaw size) for $39 from Best Buy... Works great. Has a level attached.

There are so many clip to tripod holders, I went to B&H and let it decide for me, if has B&H's imprimatur, that's good enough for me. Screw it onto a selfie stick, stick selfie stick into bag when you don't have a tripod. Square Jellyfish (tabletop tripod sold separately).

If you happen to use a push or pull cart that has an umbrella holder... A selfie stick fits in an umbrella holder and of course holds a phone.  In it's fully collapsed state it is at a pretty good height for video taping a swing.

Free/cheap selfie stick, $2 plastic driveway stake, duct tape... boom!

No... duct tape the selfie stick to the driveway stake.  Then just stick it in your bag like an alignment stick, pull it out, stick it in the dirt at the range, and clip your phone into the selfie stick.

And, you can use it as an alignment stick as well...

I got this one:

The clamp at the bottom goes on pretty much anything that's mostly flat, but it doesn't have to be a level surface, since the blue "arm" is flexible and can be bent to any angle you need.  The top clamp holds the phone very securely and works with a variety of phone sizes.

Thanks all! 

 

Now if this stupid snow snow would get up out of here, I can get some swings up in the member swings thread..

This is absolutely the best thing you can get, because the legs are flexible so you can attach it to anything.

I must have got a crappy version of this stand. I could not get it to hold very well on my bag. I was frustrating. I ended up getting a tripod instead.
