Reddit reviews Rienar Octopus Style Portable and Adjustable Tripod Stand Holder for Camera iPhone Cellphone

I just set up my 10 month photo collage this week!
My progress collage

1. I use a small cheap iphone tripod on a box, no joke.
   Here's a photo of my set up
   Here's the one I use on amazon: Rienar Octopus Style Portable Tripod
   
   
2. I have the tripod setup so the better(back of phone) camera faces me, and I set the iphone to the 10 second timer burst shot.
   
   
3. The same thing every time! I picked things that were particularly tight on my hips at the start so that I could see size change easily.
   
   
4. I like natural light better (I decided, two months in), and to that end pick the same time of day to snap your photos if possible for consistency. I also have just a photoshop file that I add the new photos to and export as a jpeg so turn around time is short.
   
   

The Yamaha EAD-10 picks up the whole kit, sounds decent, and connects directly to an iPhone, automatically replacing the audio in your phone's video. It has a bunch of effects as well if you're into that sort of thing. A flexible tripod is a good place to start for holding your phone, as they wrap around drum hardware quite nicely. Good luck!

Super worth the effort! It really helps me (at least try to) correct issues from set to set, and it has helped me learn how to properly gauge RPEs by comparing how I felt under the bar to what the bar speed actually looked like.

I would recommend this super cheap tripod right here.

I got this cheapo flexible tripod from Amazon about a year ago and it's still going strong! http://www.amazon.com/Octopus-Portable-adjustable-Cellphone-Bag-Blue/dp/B007NFJN0I/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1425730161&sr=8-5&keywords=iPhone+tripod

You can set it on the ground, wrap it around a pull up bar and hang the phone, or set it up on a bench or plyo box. When I'm done I just toss it in the bottom of my gym bag. Despite looking and feeling very cheap it's been surprisingly resilient!

Here's a neat tripod for 6 bucks!

I usually love to put some headphones on and relax in my bed until I feel like I've wasted enough time, lol. I wish I could be doing that as I type this! Today has been stressful.

Get me out of here!

Thanks for the contest! :)

Yeah, this is getting ridiculous. It's happened to me twice in the past month and I consider myself a fairly smart Amazon shopper... The items weren't underpriced compared to other seller's prices. In fact, they were slightly above the average price. They were also being sold by US sellers with 1/2 week shipping times on listings full of nothing but Chinese sellers. They didn't have any feedback, but seller feedback is so hard to acquire sometimes since most people don't bother with reviews. The items were cheap so I gave them a chance. What a mistake.

Here's one of the items: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B007NFJN0I/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new

The seller I bought from was Brenda DUSSEY. He/she hasn't responded to emails and has a 0% feedback score. It looks like "redgoods" is doing the same thing. Two brand new US/UK sellers are listed there too, probably scammers. I know it's just a $2 item but the other item was around $30 (I would link it but it's not something I want to post to reddit). This is getting out of hand.

I'll vouch for this. Allows you to mount the phone on damn near anything.

I bought this one for my 4,000 mile road trip around the US and it worked great

Grips the phone nice and tight. My only complaint is that the grip "mount" doesnt' fasten securely enough to the base, but it never caused any issued when I was using it. For the price of the thing, i'm super happy with it
