Gadgets for better phone photos during the holidays

Get the perfect low-level panning or tracking shot with this Monoprice camera skate dolly. Made of aluminum, with polyurethane-covered plastic wheels, it uses ball bearings for ultra-smooth motion. (Amazon)

The Shoulderpod S1 is the first professional smartphone rig that works as a tripod mount, filmmaker/camera grip and traveler stand for holding your mobile smartphone cameras comfortably and securely. The S1 will hold almost any smartphone model with its adjustable grip.

The Moment telephoto lens gets you twice as close to the action with no distortion or degradation to the image.

With the Snappgrip wireless bluetooth camera remote shutter release, your iPhone can feel more like a “real camera” in your hands. One-handed operation lets you control shutter/focus, zoom and shooting mode.

The Motrr Galileo is an app-controlled iOS robotic dock for face tracking, pan/tilt time-lapse video, and spherical photography. You can even control Galileo remotely over the Internet. (Amazon)

The Lensbaby LM-10 Sweet Spot Lens lets you choose a portion of the image that will remain in sharp focus with the background gradually blurring to the edges in order to draw attention to the main subject. It easily mounts to iPhones and most Android phones.

iPads make beautiful photographs, but holding and operating the device can be clumsy. The iOnagrapher mobile media case for iPad 2/3/4 makes it possible to add 37mm lenses to a threaded lens mount, and add lighting and audio gear.

Snap a selfie effortlessly or take pictures and record video from a distance of 30 to 90 feet away from your phone, with the HISY Bluetooth camera remote. No app is necessary — just link with Bluetooth and snap away.

with the VuPoint IP-P10-VP Color Photo Printer you can print photos from your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or Android device, with no computer required. It’s not necessary to save or transfer files — print 4 x 6″ photos directly from an iOS photo album, or on a Droid from Gallery.

If you just can’t live without a perfect picture of yourself, this RC Extendable Selfie handheld stick can help. And if people question you, you can say it’s a monopod to help you keep your iPhone camera steady while you photograph nature.
