    Reel size ?

    Camera Adaptor for Smartphone

    Hi All, Long time lurker, first post under the (not so) new board. I've been looking into ways to use a smartphone for "trophy" shots, and have almost settled on the following items... Tripod adapter for holding phone and mounting on either tripod or bankstick...
