Smart phones have given everyone the opportunity to freely take pictures and record videos and share them on the internet. However, the biggest issues are still shaky footages and awful audio recording. For the social media purpose, its not much of a problem, but it can give people quite a headache.
To begin remedying those problems, lets pick a phone that can record 1080p or in more simple words, Full HD. The footages captured are more crisp in its imageries and wider range in color balancing (not great, but good).
- Apple iphone 6s : Apple have been rigorously increasing the technology in their phones. Thus why the iphone is their top seller. The 6s has the capabilities to record Full HD and as well, 4k. Its camera is well equipped with 12mp and HDR capabilities. HDR will be the best friends of those who likes to take pictures of subjects facing the sun. Instead of getting a silhouette, the camera will adjust and lighten the subjects.
- Samsung Galaxy S6 : The smartphone war between Apple iphone 6s and the Samsung Galaxy s6 is irrelevant. Its all preferences. Like the iphone 6s, it is capable of recording Full HD and as well as 4k. And yes it has HDR as well. The great thing about 4k, the footages that was captured can be cropped without or minimal loss in quality.
The phone itself is not enough to produce a great video yet. Not until there is a way to reduce shaky footages and in addition capture high quality and clear audio.
- No more shaky footages with theSYNC Technology Smartphone Stabilizer. It is universal, therefore any smartphone can be attached. The stabilizer is exactly as it is in its name. Handheld video recording will be a thing in the past. It is mobile, quick and easy to use.
- Ever recorded someone talking about an important topic then a car honks in the background, bird chirping over head, wind blowing heavily? The audio recorded from that is now unusable. Negate those disruptive noise and gain clean and crisp sound with theRode Me Directional Mic. It is pocket sized and easy to use. Basically attach the device to the smart phone and plug in the mic jack.
- The camera on smart phones can only capture so much inside its frame. Because it is limited, the width and perspective can be changed with theseUniversal lens attachments.Light and portable, therefore you can be more creative with the footages you capture. The wide angle will slightly stretch the width of the frame and while the macro will be able to capture detail shots of a product.
These won't make you a professional film-maker, but if you have a smartphone, these little extra accessories will make it better. Now go out there and make viral videos. Oh please, please, please turn your phone horizontal while filming. Our screens are not vertical.
