Tablets and Stabilizing Rigs


iPad Pro has the best camera and video features (such as 4K video recording and frame rate options) among the iPad models. The latest iPad Pro model is 11 inches. Mega Mount and Iographer make stabilizing rigs for this iPad Pro size.  

Smartphone Stabilizing Rig:


There are lots of options for Smartphone rigs. Make sure you buy one that fits your Smartphone size and that comes with a "cold shoe mount" so you can attach a shotgun microphone. 

SmallRig makes an adjustable rig that works with most cellphones. 

If your iPhone has MagSafe support, this case from Moment is a great option.
