One problem is I don't want something so noticeable when doing walking video. Problem with my smart phone is it doesn't record the way I want it to. It kind of crops the video so you don't get full picture when recording. Kind of makes video smaller. My only video is an example of that. Update: Aprently if I hold the phone upwards it doesn't record wide. If I hold the phone side ways and record it works very good 👍

Hey, just wanted to point out that the vastar smartphone mounts if you flip it over so the phone tightening knob is at the bottom, there is a 1/4" screw point that you can attach a cold-shoe mount like the SmallRig one then you can mount a microphone or light to that. You can see the mount point at 0:59. Also for connecting the TRS to the TRRS connectors, you can get one that splits out the microphone and headphone which lets you monitor the audio too without having to unplug and replug things.
