If you’re keen to make videos yourself, chances are you’ve already got all the gear you’ll need in your pocket. You can plan, shoot, edit, and distribute videos right on your phone or tablet (depending on the size of your pocket).
But with just a few dollars here and there, you can pimp out your phone to make your videos stand above everyone else’s.
Here is a list of stuff you can pick up really cheaply to make your iPhone videos look better than the average Josephine’s.
