It will allow you to shoot time-lapse videos. It will also smooth out the video with stabilization built into the app itself. I tried it out while walking and riding the Metro. Walking was too jarring for it to capture smooth video. But the Metro ride worked just fine.

Something to hold the phone upright and steady at the very least. Ideally, I wanted to angle the phone. I&#8217;ve been looking for a reason to buy an iPhone tripod of some kind. But I needed something now.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HCMarks\">@HCMarks<\/a> I guess it&#39;s time I invest in one of the tripod mounts for the iPhone.
