iPhone Tripod Mounts
This does NOT handle iPhone 6 Plus but it's an amazing mount because it has a great 360 ball head on it. It handles landscape and portraits modes and is infinitely adjustable. Also, if you use Really Right Stuff tripod heads or anything Arca-Swiss, the foot of this mount is directly compatible.

Compatible with 6 Plus. I haven't used this mount a lot (didn't take it to Iceland) but my friend Kevin Lu (@sweatengine) showed it to me. I love that the entire piece is metal and it feels super sturdy.

This is a well-built rail at a great price. In Iceland, I used it to mount the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 Plus side-by-side. To do so, I put the Shoulderpod S1 on one side and the MeFOTO Sidekick360 on the other.

This is an awesome gadget that rotates 360° in one hour. Easy way to add a dynamic element, making your time-lapses stand apart from the rest.
In Iceland, I used it to create the rolling time-lapse of the glaciers and a bunch of others.

This is, hands down, the best tripod head I've ever used. It's small but strong, lightweight but stable and it's still crazy smooth after many years of use. It's perfect to throw on top of the Gitzo 1541T tripod legs, too.
Travel Tripods
I've carried this tripod seven years and it still amazes me. It's stood on hot volcanic rock, weathered crazy rain downpours, defied sandstorms and a ton more yet still works amazingly well. It fits in my carry-on and can hold my body weight (literally, I hang on the middle of it as a demo!)
In Iceland, I used it frequently to throw the Sunway Stereo Rail on top of it and get my stabilized shots. I also used it for some handle stuff (or to hang upside down and run over a landscape with the camera inches from the ground.)
I've used the Ultrapod II for years and it's strength to size ratio never ceases to amaze me. This is an awesome, lightweight companion to carry with you at all times.
In Iceland, I used it often as an additional handle for my iPhone and to throw up a quick time-lapse when the Gitzo wasn't near.
This is the absolute smallest, most lightweight option for easily and quickly throwing up your iPhone 6 (not yet compatible with 6 Plus) on a tripod. This thing is 1.8 ounces and you can easily throw it in your backpack, purse or even pocket and hardly tell it's there. Not nearly as secure as the heavier duty mounts I also listed, but quick, fast & easy.
iPhone Batteries & Power
You'd be hard pressed to find a better battery. I've used the HyperJuice for years and years and it's amazing. It will charge your iPhone like 20 times and your MacBook Pro over 10 HOURS! Charges iPad, too.
When you can't rock the HyperJuice or don't need so much power, it's nice to have this as an extra kick of juice ensuring your iPhone doesn't run out of battery during a time-lapse. It's also got a nice flashlight on it so it's convenient to have with you whenever.
I've used so many different travel surge protectors and I love this one for a few reasons… it has a swivel mount, the USB ports can charge an iPad, its super compact and it has a power indicator light.
More coming soon…
I'm planning to share apps, editing and more…
Is there any thing you'd like to know from me?

This tripod mount handles the 6 Plus like a champ and it's what I used for my project in Iceland. It has great rubber grips on it that both protect your iPhone and give you plenty of assurance that it won't slip. I had to really trust this thing to jump out of the chopper with my test iPhone unit and I did.
