Recommended Equipment
This isn't a random list of gear — it's things we've actually bought, used and genuinely recommend (we've bought plenty more photography items that we'd never recommend!). Every link goes to Amazon where you'll find their best current price.

SMALLRIG Metal Camera Phone Mount
Can be mounted on the top of a camera or tripod. It's not the cheapest phone holder but it's solid and less likely to break with your phone in it!
Lighting
Godox Waterproof LED Light
Waterproof, magnetic, and controllable from your phone means it's pricey but worth every penny for versatility.
SMALLRIG LED Video Light
Adjustable brightness AND adjustable colour temperature makes this small light great for introducing extra sparkle to your photos.
Printing
Instax SQUARE Link Smartphone Printer
Okay, it might not improve your photography, but it will make you smile when you print your best images and display them in your home!

SIRUI Compact Mini Desktop Tripod
It's not the largest tripod in the world, but it's solid and dependable (we've travelled the world with various Sirui tripods)... and it comes with a phone holder!

These articulating arms can be clamped down tight to hold reflectors, phones, or even your subject if you're shooting small objects. One of the most used accessories in our studio.
