The PopSocket mount and stand -- does it make taking photos easier? We tried it out

Jason's gadget hack that makes making content and taking photos much easier.

DETROIT – One of my favorite gadgets is this flexible PopSocket mount and stand.

This is for your phone. A PopSocket is something else I like to use to prop your phone up and hold it more easily (it’s great for when you’re on a run).

The mount is about $15, if you find it in a store like Target, or $20 online. I’ve found it really helps on the job when shooting stories and making a FaceTime or Zoom interview more interesting. The moldable rubber makes it able to grip to just about anything, allowing you to mount the camera (phone) anywhere at any angle. I think it really sharpens the creativity of picturess and videos.

We’re revealing our simple life hacks all this week on Local 4 News in the morning at 6 a.m. See what Rhonda, Jason, Kim and Darnell have in store.
