CAMERA / PHONE RIGS

Ghost-hunting mobile phone rigs are essential if you prerecord or livestream from your mobile phone. If you’re filming your paranormal investigation using a standard mobile phone, the video will be shaky, the lighting will be poor, and you will hear too much wind and background noise. With a filming phone rig, your video will be stable. You can add an external wind-resistant microphone to remove the wind noise. And you can add another light source to improve lighting. You can add multiple lights, such as standard, IR and UV lighting. It is handy if you are filming on a full-spectrum converted mobile phone.
