5 iPhone 3Gs video tripod options for mobile videographers & better mobile video recording

As the popularity of the iPhone 3Gs grows so seems the amount of mobile video recording and creative ways to use the iPhone 3Gs as a serious video recording device. Since the launch of the iPhone 3Gs YouTube has seen a 1700% increase in mobile video uploads and at lease two music videos (Reyna Perez and Kenny Mosher ) have been produced using just the iPhone. Also we have seen a few custom made iPhone 3Gs shoulder mounts and other handheld devices being made for the up and coming iPhone 3Gs mobile video producer. Let’s take a look at 5 various iPhone 3Gs video devices to help you record better videos.

1. ZGrip Pro for the iPhone.

The ZGrip pro currently cost $295.00 but a lower cost consumer model is on the way.

2. Do-it-yourself Tripod mount

Just make a trip to your local hardware store and add the Contour case for your iPhone and you’ll have a Tripod mount for your iPhone 3Gs.

3. MacBreak’s iPhone 3Gs Video Shoulder mounth

4. OWLE - Optical Widgets For Life Enhancement- http://wantowle.com

OWLE is new on the scene and in the video they plea for AT&T & Apple to allow Qik to be released in the App Store but this device is rumored to be released around Christmas at a reasonable cost betweet $30.00 – $50.00.

5. mini spring clamp
This is my home made solution. I went to my local camera shop, Peace Camera and purchased a mini spring clamp tripod mount that will hold my iPhone.

The clip will attach to my tripod for stable video recording.

Also you can watch the behind the scenes of one of the iPhone 3Gs music videos.

They didn’t go into detail about how they made the iPhone 3Gs shoulder mount but if you pause it a couple of times I’m sure you can figure it out.

What are your thoughts on the iPhone 3Gs video attachments and do you think we’ll some made from other manufactures such as Griffin and Incase?

iPhone 3G S Apple Store launch coverage from Raleigh, NC – Year 3

I’m sure by now you know what today is, iPhone 3G S launch day and for the third year in a row I was able to catch up with an old friend and take some pictures/videos of the Apple Store opening plus the hundreds standing in line for the iPhone. When I arrived, I saw Ashton, who for three years in a row now has been first in line to buy the iPhone at the Apple Store in Crabtree Valley Mall. I first met Ashton in 2007 when he purchased the 1st generation iPhone and I was able to take this picture of him, which has been viewed over 5,000 times on flickr and I was recently told it may the first picture of a consumer with the first generation iPhone on the web.

Fast forward three years later, Ashton and I make our yearly routine of meeting at the Apple Store on iPhone launch day and as normal he’s first in line. I must say this year’s iPhone activation seems to have went a lot smother than last years. Ashton walked in the Apple store, told the employee he wanted a white iPhone and it was purchased and activated in about 15 minutes versus the 8 plus hours he spent in the store last year. Then in about another 15 minutes Ashton had his iPhone 3G S synced with his contacts, music and photos loaded. Great job this year by the Raleigh Apple Store team. Also it was interesting to see others who were buying the iPhone 3G S talk about what color they were buying. Most seem to have purchased the white iPhone 3G S 16 GB version, especially if they had purchased a black iPhone last year.

For those of you who are waiting to purchase an iPhone 3G S, I recommend coming in later today to avoid the line and I’m almost sure they won’t run out of iPhones. If you reserved your iPhone you have until today to come pick it up. Below are some more videos and photos from the iPhone 3G S launch at the Raleigh Apple Store in Crabtree Valley Mall.

For a hands on review of the iPhone 3G S, see today’s episode of Talk Social News recorded from the Apple Store today here -> Hands on iPhone 3G S review & more AT&T upgrade fail news – episode 060

Did you stand in line for the iPhone 3G S or are you going to wait?

Is this your first iPhone if you purchased an iPhone 3G S today?

Update:
I went to meet some friends in line a few hours later at the Apple Store. The line is still long and it’s a slow process to get everyone into the store because Apple won’t let you leave without the phone being activated.
