Cell Phone Into Security Camera

Selfies to take photos with camera and cell phone.

I love the sense of security having these cameras at my home. I get cell phone pictures telling me everything is okay there when I'm on vacation. I also pick up the occasional picture of an animal that I didn't know was visiting my yard. Found out who was raiding my garden at night!

Has many uses for my cell phone, point and shoot camera etc

This Cell Phone Mount was bought for my Wife. She watches videos on her cell phone often and I thought this was a better idea than leaning her phone against a bottle of ketchup or loaf of bread. Combining this with a tiny foldable tripod gives her a compact stand for her cell phone and she now uses it almost daily. She seems to like it and it folds up to take very little space. The mount had a slight hangup when I first tried it out but seems to work fine now. The threads in the plastic parts are actually brass inserts that are moulded in place so they will probably hold up a lot longer than plain plastic would. The plastic is well moulded and seems to be pretty good quality. In theory, the mount will stand up without a tripod, but it isn't stable.

I like the feature that it is also connected to my cell phone.

this worked well with my cell phone and GoPros.

I use it to connect my cell phone to my car.

Looking somewhere near the lens just isn't the same as looking INTO the lens. For a very reasonable price, talent can connect with the viewer. Our TMP50 was nicely made, easy to set up and gave a good result right out of the box. We used it with an iPad 6th generation as a prompter screen which fits well but just about maxes out the bracket adjustment. Removing the rear bracket will probably accommodate larger iPads or other devices. Smaller tablets and phones would also work as prompter screens. If shooting with a phone, centering the phone's camera will necessarily put the phone off to one side so you may need a binder clip or a clothespin to snug down the hood, but that's an easy fix for a unit that can support a wide variety of cameras or phones behind the glass. To sum up: a great price on a nice piece of hardware that yields results that would be hard to obtain if your script can't be directly in line with the lens.
