Have someone else hold it.

Ideally, use something else that does have a camera tripod mount on it.

Here’s an idea:

>
> Open design allows the phone to charge while on the stand. Extendable legs and with non-slip rubber feet. Head can be adjusted for a 90 tilt and 360 pan. Easy to install and durable. Compatible with phones 62mm in width or lower. Use this...

And another:

Just some ideas.

I used my iPhone to record videos before. I kinda propped it on top of a table and hit record. A tripod would make things a lot easier though!

I used Splice, a free app I found. It was pretty intuitive and worked for my simple needs. There are a bunch of free apps out there.

I use Sony Vegas Pro for my video editing.

But, I also don’t record myself playing with the yoyo. It’s a courtesy I show to my cameras, as they shouldn’t have to suffer through someone as horrible as I am with the yoyo.
