If action shooting is your thing, you want this rig from Zeadio. It’s a stabilizer and video rig in one.

It’s also tripod mountable.

We love extras, and the Beastgrip Pro + has plenty to brag about in that department. This universal video rig works with all phones with or without their case attached.
