Content Creation Via Smartphones Are on the Rise

With almost half of the world’s population now active on various social media platforms in 2022, these large numbers are engaging and demanding more content by the day. To that extent, millennials and Gen Z are rising up to meet that demand and are using the resources that are readily at their disposal - smartphones.

The smartphones of today are as capable as ever. With powerful processors, robust operating systems, and cutting-edge cameras, creating video content has never been easier. Social media users, especially YouTubers, Instagrammers, TickTokers, etc., are therefore using these devices as the primary equipment to engage and connect with their audiences via vlogs and livestreams.

These vlogs and live streams are a very potent way of expanding social reach, and many content creators are keying into it. With smartphones, creators no longer need a full setup to make a vlog so they can create professional-looking content as long as they have a smartphone video rig.

Features of a Smartphone for Shooting Videos

1. Easy to Use

It's much easier to use smartphones for your videos than other cameras. Although you may be able to create more professional-looking videos with a DSLR, you can also shoot stunning videos with a smartphone.

2. Reduces Your Gear Clutter

Have you ever noticed how the average filmmaker carries tons of luggage because of equipment? You eliminate the baggage when you shoot videos on your iPhone or any other smartphone. All you need is a smartphone video rig for balance, and you are good to go.

3. Affordable

The average established vlogger or live streamer spends over $2000 on quality equipment that won't affect the stream. So why spend thousands when you can buy a top-notch smartphone for a fraction of that cost?

Benefits of Using a Professional Phone Video Rig Kit

Make no mistake, shooting your vlog handheld or with a tripod can give you decent results, but filming with a smartphone video rig can take your vlogging to the next level. A professional smartphone video rig kit will allow you to control your video completely and achieve the look and feel you want for your project.

With a quality phone rig kit, you don’t have to settle on the content standard you release. And it is possible for anyone who doesn't have prior experience to make high-quality videos with video editing software or special skills in this area.

A smartphone video rig creates a steady platform to mount your mobile device while shooting. But it does not end there. Robust smartphone video rig kits allow other accessories like lights, mics, etc., to be mounted on them, which basically transforms your mobile phone into a professional small rig.
