Accessories for taking better photos using your phone

Smartphone Tripod


The first accessory I suggest for taking better photos using your phone is a tripod. This simple tool makes taking photos so much easier, especially if you are going to be shooting for a while.

Once you get your tripod level, it will be a lot easier to move your phone around to take photos and not have to adjust the level and pitch so much.

A good tripod for mobile photography that won’t break the bank is the Manfrotto Compact Light 51″ Smart Aluminum Tripod.

This tripod already comes with a clip so you won’t need to purchase one separately.

Smartphone Clip


If you already have a tripod but need a clip to mount your phone, I would recommend you use one like this one – https://amzn.to/33bNjYR

Whichever clip you end up buying, make sure it can turn horizontally as well as vertically.

Smartphone Camera Lens

Smartphone cameras have a focal length of about 26-28mm, which is not that wide. To get an 18mm wide angle shot when shooting real estate or landscape photos my go-to lens is the Moment Wide Lens. This has be my favorite accessory for my phone lately. The image is sharp. There is no vignetting. A solid build quality makes this lens worth the investment.

In order to use the lens with your phone you will need to purchase one of Moment’s cases for your specific phone model. Here’s a link to the iPhone 7 Plus case I use – https://amzn.to/31pr8wx
