This will let you take all the photos you want remotely and if you have a good selfie cam, you can use the screen to see what you're shooting while you shoot it. It's so cheap, you kinda just should...
But don't walk around in public with it.
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:
Tripod:

Phone mount:

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.
THERE YOU GO HUMAN
I suggest you get a tripod and Bluetooth remote trigger for your phone. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NO3SK6Q/ or this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I58VB3Y/
This simple bracket will do as a standard tripod mount: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Camera-Stand-Clip-Bracket-Holder-Monopod-Tripod-Mount-Adapter-for-Cell-phone-BL-/191372113359
Then add a regular tripod: http://www.target.com/p/targus-extendable-tripod-50-tg-5060tr/-/A-10958572 or http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sunpak-5200D-Digital-Tripod/21499838
Now you have the minimal gear necessary to work out exactly what poses you want, and to practice getting the little details right without running up someone else's clock.
All cameras are just devices that capture light hitting a plane. The only real difference between decent cell phone cameras and pro DSLRs is the DSLRs give you control over depth of field and exposure time, and support a huge variety of filters. Filters can be applied digitally after the shoot. Even depth of field can be faked post-production, though I wouldn't recommend that.
If these self-made shots don't come out exactly how you'd like them / good enough for commercial use, after some hours of experimenting you'll at least have many close approximations to refer to as a reference for the pros.
Having a designated shutter button is way different. Plus the added thickness makes it easier to hold on to. Like I’ve said in other posts. I use my phone as a camera a lot. It’s kind of it’s main function. I own a camera grip that attaches to my phone with a shutter button that also has a remote. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0797D5W73
But yeah... you’re right. The volume/shutter button combo is a great feature to have.
It's a stupidly cheap buy but get a bluetooth camera remote. I keep a few on me for this type of purpose.

I got this one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072LQ989R/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It works well. You can use it as a selfie stick as well as a tripod and has a small grove for the bluetooth remote as well.
I'm glad that it's reposted sometimes because I'm reminded of it again. Never fails to uplift my spirit even for a bit.
EDIT: I just bookmarked the actual link!
This one holds the Passport but I couldn't get the Bluetooth connection to work.

Check out the 6th photo. Basically the selfie stick screwed onto a tripod.
Okidoki!
I actually JUST got this guy the other day.
I’m fairly certain there are things you can use to effectively clip your phone to your bag, but I liked this tripod particularly because it has a Bluetooth remote.
I used it the first time the other day at the range. I set up the tripod, had the remote in my pocket, and recorded my swings easily without constantly going back and forth.
I picked up a cheap tripod at the flea market for 5 bucks. Then I got at selfstick /cellphone adapter for said tripod like this.

You can put on the timer or if you have a smart watch you can trigger it that way.
All you need now is a photo spot and a certain time of day. Now you can create the illusion that you are normal person and not a dangerous socialpath.
I bought this one off of Amazon. It's pretty cheap cost wise, but it's pretty functional and well built for the price.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WQYN3B/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_9QFUDbKBXNTGH
I've been thinking about doing something similar with one of my puppets being a YouTube vlogger. I've been eyeing this selfie stick/tripod on Amazon with either a phone or a GoPro mounted on it.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WQYN3B/
​
I'm also looking into how I could mount some kind of flex or articulated arm like these below to my forearm so that I can get it to look like he's holding the camera but I haven't found any way to brace it to my forearm yet

What about something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WQYN3B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0DxVAbMWCRT1G
Then I could have all kinds of fun and maybe do more videos too. It's in my cart right now. I just have to push the button.
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.
Oops, I realized I did not fully answer your question.
The mounts that hold the camera to the phone have a 1/4-20 hole below. I haven't seen any with gopro flanges. You'll have to use an adapter.
Would this one work? You may already have the parts to build it yourself. You could also build one around a dual gopro mount or a plate like the one included inthis kit.
There's also this one.
This other one has lots of 1/4-20 threads where you could screw on a gopro adapter.
I was also looking for selfie sticks and came across this a few days ago. It’s a small world. Here’s a link for anyone who wants to see the product ... or upvote his comment
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?
If it's day light out, I've had good luck with my cellphone camera (iphone 7) and a beefy selfie stick that has a bluetooth remote. The images are plenty sharp (again, if bright enough) and I can get good reach for what I need to do. In your case, depending on the size of the excavations, I'd consider making some kind of rig from PCV pipe or something you could slide the camera along horizontally (maybe pulled by string or something) to get really consistent shots. I wonder if shadows will be an issue for you, but maybe you could use a ring light to help keep it well lit?
If you're set on a non-cellphone camera, look at the Lumix ones, too. They consistently rate very high and some have a really big (for the size of the camera) 1" sensor

Recently I bought (09/30/2019) this remote on Amazon and it works with the Insta360 One X (firmware 1.18.32) photo mode only. It won't work with video mode for some reason. When in video mode, I press the remote shutter and the Insta360 One X switch to photo mode (about 1 to 5 seconds delay) to take a 360 photo instead of a video. Here is the review I posted for this remote shutter on Amazon.
"I bought this for my iPad and the Google Pixel XL phone. For some reason I decided to test it with the Insta360 One X since the Insta360 One X remote control is out-of-stock anywhere I looked (as of 10/04/2019). After I connected the remote shutter with the iPad's Insta360 app, I am able to take 360° photos. I have the latest firmware upgrade from Insta360. The one caveat is that it would not take 360° video even I manually switch the Insta360 camera to video mode. Even it doesn't take videos, I think I might use this at some point until I can get my hands on the actual Insta360 One X remote control."
Here is the video I posted on YouTube regarding this remote control in case you are interested. Remember, it only works in the photo mode for me.

Maybe mod with a 12 inch ruler and a phone to tripod mount something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/LimoStudio-Monopod-Tripod-Samsung-AGG1462/dp/B00PBCBZJ2
you could even possibly replace the motorized panning head with an egg timer, something like this

The phone mounts are generic portrait phone tripod mounts. Looks like these ones.
The other bit... Not so sure. It looks like a flash bracket.
Can't find that exact model, but you could make something similar with this one combined with some Cold Shoe Ball Mounts. Bit bigger than you need but struggling to find a triple mount that's horizontal like that!

Description|Thanks for watching. I can't believe we had to do this - what would you have done? We woke up early to drive an hour drive from Nashville, TN to go hiking. We hiked this trail near Carthage, TN. All Trails is how we found this one - it was rated a 'Hard' trail, the only one in the area. The trail is called Bearwaller Gap Trail. This park is crowded with campers but we did not see a single person on the trail. There were parts of the trail that had downed trees from storms, that had been there for awhile. We saw a lot of cool wildlife - Turtles, birds, squirrels, chipmunks, even mealworms and millipedes. Fortunately no snakes! The description from All Trails is as follows: "Bearwaller Gap Hiking Trail is a 10.8 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Carthage, Tennessee that features a lake and is rated as difficult. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail." I’m new to Adobe Premiere Pro and vlogging.

I'm using this monopod/selfie stick: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W77LAAI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
attached to this mini tripod: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D76RNLS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's not the most stable, and it's fallen over once on uneven ground, but on a level surface it works well
Yw! I got this tripod designed for smartphones (not cheap but definitely not expensive at $24 -- and I bet there are cheaper ones) for filming my throws from the side and the back:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075WQYN3B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It comes with a Bluetooth remote so you can start/stop recording without leaving your stance. I just recently got it but it's great for being able to record from the side + a little above, and behind, while keeping the phone completely still.
Get something like this and take lots of pictures.

Turns out they are just Bluetooth keyboard, so I have it connected to my raspberry pi which then talks to hass.

Although, you'll never make friends after buying it. It's a trade off.
They're $20 on amazon.

It just a cheap selfie stick off amazon. Something like this.
Oh good, I'm so happy to hear this worked for someone, because that is what we're doing. I dug some junk out of my parent's basement and bought a couple things at the party store. I did, however, get this thing called a "selfie stick" so people can take those Oscar-style selfies! I'm super excited about that one!
(It may not be the exact one I linked, but I can get my Razr maxx with a phone case into the adjustable holder of the one I bought, so it should work for most guests' phones as well!)
Just used this mount from amazon.

Yeah what a waste of money right look at all these 20-50$ selfie sticks
You're probably just salty because even with a selfie stick, your obese body can't fit onto the camera screen 😉
Just picked up a mount on Amazon. I'll see in Monday if it works.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MU2U5HT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lJI0AbGFJYRD3
Thanks. Been looking for this. I use this stick in the gym. It has a small footprint.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M4J3S66/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4CXLAbSQY3GNW
No software needed. The selfie stick had a tripod base built into the handle.
This is the one: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B072LQ989R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_D-TJDbJR10J16
I haven't tried it with the S10, though.
Thanks. I usually cant really hold my phone too well, do you maybe recommend buying a tripod like for example this? https://www.amazon.com/Fugetek-Integrated-Professional-Lightweight-Bluetooth/dp/B075WQYN3B?crid=QM5SJD9MD37C&keywords=tripod+for+android+phone&qid=1537634504&sprefix=tripod+for+andro&sr=8-5&ref=mp_s_a_1_5

21' might be too far for this. If your iPhone has a headphone jack you might be able to use a wired shutter release and a long headphone extender. I don't know if camera can be triggered with the lightning headphone adapter but that might be an option too.
I would get something that doubles as a tripod so you could set it down when you stop somewhere. something like this
It's never going to be very discrete because you will be talking to your phone with something extended from you. It will look as discrete as holding your arm out but you'll get more in the shot.
Another option or addon would be to get a clip on wide angle lens that will get a wider view so you can hold your phone closer. ones like this I don't know how well they work on front selfie cams but I have a similar one my friend bought me that helps get a wider shot. Not sure how much it will distort the image if your face is close, I've only used it for landscape shots honestly.
Side note: I always laugh when I think "discrete selfie stick" cause I think of this.
Bluetooth shutter for your phone/tablet/etc.
https://www.amazon.com/Puroma-Universal-Adapter-Smartphone-Adjustable/dp/B01MU2U5HT/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2JOMDXRYE58LZ&keywords=phone+holder+tripod+mount&qid=1556109602&s=gateway&sprefix=phone+holder+tripod%2Caps%2C213&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1
Something like this works well, and doesn't take the amount of space that a full tripod would. Just put it on something and you're good. One recommendation would be to attach something to the base to make it a little wider and more stable, in case someone knocks it.
This will and can happen with all cameras in general. For a picture to be clear, a lot of light is required. If you have less light, the picture will be less clear. This goes for all cameras. Low light means you need to either hold the camera incredibly still in your hands, or get a tripod. You can get cheap mini tripods that are the size of the phone itself one ebay and amazon for 10 bucks

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.
