Phone Holder for Video?

[George K]

I'm looking for some kind of gizmo that will hold an iPhone for video.

Mrs. George isn't adept at this kind of thing, so I'm looking for a device that will hold an iPhone, allow her to press a button to start/stop recording and if at all possible zoom in and out for the videos.

Anyone have a clue?

My searches show lots of grips, selfie sticks, etc. But none of them allow you to control the zoom of the camera.

It will be very unlikely to find a gadget that can externally control the iPhone‘s “zoom” function because (AFAIK) Apple has not expose the “zoom” controls to any external interface. So far you can only control the “zoom” function using the tough screen.

No worries at all. David Lynch totally has you covered.

What a great video - I love how he shows the store-bought one at the end and says 'this one is even better, but it's fun to build your own'.

For Lynch fans, this is an amusing scene from one of Louis CK's TV shows:

See, this is what I love about YouTube.

I was totally oblivious of David Lynch's channel.
