Whether a twin lens reflex, a Linhof tech with its anatomical grip, a Hasselblad with pistol grip and prism, or side mount grip, or in the palm with no grip at all, do I add the M grip or not? Do I use a mono pod, table top, small or large or tripod? Do I use a cable release? Mechanical or electronic? And the answer is always, "yes." For me. In other words I use whatever is called for. I have a wireless Bluetooth release for the iPhone. The iPro kit includes a "grip" I use on rare occasions. ProCamera allows setting the screen as a release. I use a couple different extremely small and light tripods when appropriate. A tripod adapter was the first accessory I bought for the phone; probably because I grew up in a studio; and spent life around view cameras. I've always taken the craft very seriously; no matter the tool; whether holding a pen, a camera, a brush, a chisel, a saw or a knife; need to figure out how to "do it" - for proper results - practice makes for improvement if not perfection.
