My Mobile Photography Setup
Mobile photography, or “mopho” for short, is growing in popularity. Why? Because it’s easy and in your pocket! Phones today are as much quality cameras as they are a device you can use to call or text someone. As phones get better and better cameras, more and more companies are releasing gadgets and other gear that allow you to take your mobile photography to the next level. In this post, I’m going to show you what I use in my own mobile photography setup. Let’s get started!
Full disclosure: most of the links in this post are affiliate links, which means I get a commission if you use these links to purchase something, which comes at no extra cost to you. If you have questions on my affiliate links, you can view my full disclosure here.
About My Phone
The phone I use is an iPhone XS Max, though the gear I’m about to show you will work for any type of phone as long as the Moment phone case I will highlight is offered for your phone. As of right now, Moment offers phone cases for iPhone (6 and above, even 11), Pixel, OnePlus, Galaxy (S8 and above), and Galaxy Note (8 and above).
To check if Moment offers a case for your phone, go to the Moment website [affiliate link], scroll down till you get to the Shop Gear section, click on Cases, then click the Filter option. You’ll see all the phones they support.
The reason why this is important is because the lenses I will show you attach to the case, not the phone. So it’s important to get a case that matches your phone and to make sure you get lenses that work with your case. Everything I show you will work together for an iPhone XS Max, however if you have a different phone and have questions, please don’t hesitate to comment below.
The Visual
To make it easier, I recorded a video showing all my mobile photography gear and how it all works together in my setup! A list of all the items is below as well.
The Gear
Now, on to the gear! Here’s the list of what I showed you in the video. The links below are all affiliate links.
- Moment iPhone XS Max case: This case comes in a few different color options. It’s reasonably priced and protects my phone well.
- Moment Camera Neck Strap: I love this thing! I always have my phone handy and don’t drop it or leave it anywhere since I started using it!
- Moment 3-Lens Lens Roll: Keeps all my Moment lenses safe and together for easy portability. Looks like they may be discontinuing the 3-pouch version in favor of the 2-pouch version.
- Moment Lens Pouch: The pouches that the lenses go in. They are a little pricey, but worth it!
- 58mm Zoom Lens (Moment): Zoom in to the equivalent of 2x on your native iPhone camera, but with less distortion.
- 18mm Wide Angle Lens (Moment): A wide angle lens for landscape or interior design photos.
- Moment Macro Lens (Moment): A macro lens for those closeup shots.
- Manfrotto Universal Smartphone Clamp: Attaches your phone securely to a tripod.
- Manfrotto PIXI Tripod: Handy, easily portable tripod with go-anywhere convenience. Use it as a monopod for a little stability also!
