Most modern tablets and cell phones sport decent enough cameras to mount them
on a tripod for better results. But this is not exactly easy. Of course you
can always get a special tripod, but if you already have a common one, let's
try fixing the tablet to it. The first option is to use special x-bands
for book and papers, which are sold in stores like Staples. Put a rubber band
on the device, and then balance it on the angle handle. You're are ready to shoot.
But this is more of a temporary solution, when you need to start filming real
quick. For a more convenient and reliable mount we
will use this versatile flexible holder. This is basically a piece of metal
wire, covered in soft polyurethane foam with plastic caps on both ends. Bend
it around your tripod. This can be done in many ways, I managed to zigzag
it like this. Now insert the tablet between the ends of
the holder. You're are ready to film. Height, angle - all is perfectly adjustable
like with an ordinary camera.
