Good camera stand for the Pro1

[Wasmachineman_NL 99]

I regularly use my N900 to record vids of my appliances or laptops, but since that phone it's camera is garbage compared to the Pro1 i'm thinking of buying a stand for my Pro1.

Problem is: which one? I know nothing about phone recording stands.

I've had this one since some time, which is capable of holding the Pro1 and pretty much any other phone I tried. Quality is mediocre but it gets the job done. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32868370597.html

Edit: just realized the listing shows several items, it's this one:

Brings back memories of when I made my own tripod clamp/stand out of an old pager cradle for my Nokia N73 years ago. Was well chuffed with the results. 😁

You would probably have to make a few minor mods to avoid fouling the buttons on the side of the Pro1.

It can grip the phone next to the buttons (somewhere between unlock and camera button).

Yeah, suppose it could go over the fingerprint reader.

Look at the conic shape of the 'jaws', they will grap on the display half only, unless you want to mount it opened of course.

Now that you mention it I tried and indeed they do not press the buttons unless you crank down on it. It holds quite securely though so no issues to hold it to the side of the buttons which is how I've used it.

Is there also a stand with a tripod?

This thing is intended to screw onto a standard tripod mount which is how I use it, you could use any normal tripod with it. I don't have any recommendations for those. Also note that the actual clamp part has a separate thread for placing that on a tripod directly, which seems to be much more stable than using the swivel thing that comes with it.

EDIT: well shit, I forgot I already had a thread like this.
