I also like being able to email iPhone videos or upload them to YouTube directly from my phone instead of having to first transfer them to a computer.<\/p>\n<p>The main drawback with using the iPhone to shoot video is that you can&#8217;t put it on a tripod &#8212; you have to hold it in your hand or precariously lean it against something. The best iPhone mounting solution I&#8217;ve found so far is the Glif, a tiny hard-rubber clip with a metal 1\/4&#8243;-\u00ad20 thread that attaches to any tripod mount. Simply slide the iPhone into the Glif&#8217;s slot and you&#8217;re ready to go. (The Glif was one of the first breakaway hits on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter, taking in almost $130,000 more than its $10,000 goal in late 2010.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2013\/02\/glif-tripod.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-9725\" alt=\"glif-tripod\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2013\/02\/glif-tripod-290x300.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2013\/02\/glif-tripod-290x300.jpg 290w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2013\/02\/glif-tripod.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Glif has one other function: it&#8217;s a &#8220;kickstand&#8221; that lets you use your iPhone as a mini-display on your desktop or airplane fold down tray.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2013\/02\/glif-stand.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9726\" alt=\"glif-stand\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2013\/02\/glif-stand.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"238\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you want to use the Glif when you&#8217;re on the move, pay the extra $10 for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B006W8Z4FK\/?tag=cooltools-20\">Glif Plus<\/a>, which includes a separate plastic piece that locks your iPhone onto the Glif so there&#8217;s no chance of it falling off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quickly mount an iPhone to a tripod<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[30],"tags":[1456,1457,1455],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9723"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9723"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9723\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10131,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9723\/revisions\/10131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
