What is the result you'd like? Good quality training montages? Or just quick and dirty training clips?

For quick videos, you can get a cheap setup with these items:

OTG USB cable if you're hurting for storage:

You can plug in a flash drive and keep that in your gym bag.

If you want to do high quality videos, go with a good smart phone or camera such as a decent camcorder, and a shotgun mic to get rid of the tinny sound.

Rode mic:

If your camera doesn't have a shoe mount:

Hope this info helps.

For reasons that I am not clear on, my wife wants to record some stuff with a cell phone. Actual camera optics is off the table, but what would make things easier is some sort of cell-phone compatible mount for a tripod.

I've got some decent tripod legs and a ball head that's compatible with arca swiss plates.

My question is basically - does there exist some sort of plate / clamp that I can use to mount a cell phone? I'm envisioning something that screws into the top of a cheap arca swiss plate that can hold a cell phone. Something like this.

$6 part, I think it works... should fit on the existing 1/4" screw holes on plates I already have, no?

In practice session I video myself. Bought one of these with a cell phone adapter ($3-$10). There are cheaper ones but this one is solid as a rock and I don't worry about my cell phone falling over.

Maybe mod with a 12 inch ruler and a phone to tripod mount something like this:

you could even possibly replace the motorized panning head with an egg timer, something like this

If you have a Dollar Tree near you, go there and buy a selfie stick or two. They are $1 each. The stick itself you probably won't use but it comes with a phone mount that uses the standard tripod screw. By picking that up for $1, you can now buy any tripod and don't have to pick one that comes with the mount. Hope that helps a little.
