It feels like the light is a good idea but might be too much hassle in practice. Yeah I regret a little getting a 1m tripod lol. But it was a gift so no complaints. ---

You can also set it on something. I have to shoot around a baby gate and a bunch of stuff, so I don’t have many options. ---

Yeah basically at home I prop it on something. But when I am out, sometime I feel like, oh it will be super cool to film this with airplanes behind me at the airport or like ooh I am in Brighton! but no where to really put the phone to film and don’t want to ask strangers lol. So I thought a little tripod would be cool to have. ---

I started throwing 25 years ago… took a15 year break (i carried a modified yyj Hitman and would throw occasionally)…9 months ago i got b back into it. I discovered the frontstyle series i mentioned. I try to throw an hour everyday. Keeps me sane. I appreciate this forum and this thread. Thanks to all. ---

Do you still own the Hitman by any chance? Man I love the original Hitman. I have a Hitman Professional, but it’s just not the same! ---

I use a similar setup. I use an [Ultra Pod](https://amzn.to/35JYw3H), and when I put my phone on it I have a [super cheap mount](https://amzn.to/34KW9Mw). I just set it on the counter or the table and it works fine for me. ---

Man, I suck 😭 Frustrating night for sure. I’m not upset or anything…just not a good night for me with yoing. I feel so far away from Superflow still. /sigh… And I lost count at attempt #995,987 on kamikaze. At least I got a few Hidemassa Hooks down. And some Sky Binds. Tonight was exhausting and a bit frustrating. 2 days left to work on Superflow. If I don’t get it this weekend, that’s okay…I’ll for sure be working on it everyday for at least the next couple of weeks. I WILL get this cursed trick down dang it!! I’ll get some videos up eventually tonight. lol I don’t know how to use my editing software \>.\<’ ---
