a list of a few inexpensive audio and video accessories that will dramatically improve the quality of video filmed with your iPhone, Android.

1. The Smartphone Studio

2. With a rise in demand for video
communication and fall in production
budgets, all corporate marketers/
communicators should develop DIY video
production skills for 2014. Adding a few
$10-$20 accessories can dramatically
increase your smartphone video quality.
Most of these easily fit into any manpurse, so you’ll always be ready when an
opportunity presents itself.
NOTE: I’m not endorsing any of these
products, but they’ve worked for me.
