Since the iPhone got video I have been annoyed with no mount for my tripod. It would look so tight to have an iPhone sitting on top of my full size tripod, but of course apple will never allow a proper camera mount to be in their sleek ass phones. So I was thinking that someone should create a clamp mount that would grab the sides of the iphone and mount it to a tripod. This would allow for a lot more versatility for video guys and photographers. Until that happens…
Gorillapod is the next best thing. The little guy will run you around $25 while the big guy for full size SLRs is around $50. The little gorillapod is the one in these photographs. The benefit of having your iphone mounted is pretty clear. There is no moving of the camera and it frees up the conductor to pull out another camera and go to work; or perhaps be the subject of the film. Either way this is a clean and cheap way to mount your iphone to a tripod.

I have been using my iPhone more and more for serious photographs and I am very pleased with some of the results. The little camera is very good at anything with lines and colors. I have been using a combination of Photogene and PhotoFX to edit.
