Aukey Wide Angle and Macro Lens for your smartphone.
Can’t beat having a diverse tool that will work with about any smartphone, especially helpful when you upgrade iPhones about every year. This is a high-quality lens, similar to something you would buy for your DLSR. For only $20 on Amazon, you can’t beat having this lens in your toolbox of gadgets for smartphone photography.

Gimbal Ikan Fly-X Plus
Looking to improve your video on both your smartphone and GoPro? It’s time to get a gimbal to stabilize your footage and get some great videos. Walk along with your smartphone recording video, not the video footage shakiness. A gimbal will remove that, make your videos pro quality, and help you create better content even during live streaming.
I recently purchased the Ikan Fly-X Plus because it’s rating, easy to use, comes with GoPro & Smartphone holders, and has an extra battery in the kit. Check out this example and figure out which side is showing the footage while using the gimbal.
