You’ll probably want to opt for a sturdier mount if you’re doing any sort of action shots. This particular mount doesn’t hold the device snug enough to prevent the phone from falling out if hit with a significant amount of force. For casual vlogging and those testing the waters, I’d begin with this $5 option, as it provides the most bang for your buck as long as you’re careful. The phone rests in the mount, which extends on springs to accommodate various smartphone sizes. As is often the case with low-cost accessories, you can get the unbranded version for a fraction of the price from various sellers on Amazon and eBay. It’s worth noting that many camera stores sell what appear to be the same mount (although branded from reputable camera accessory makers) for $50 or more. This $5 mount from Amazon (pictured on my a6300 throughout) got the job done, but it wasn’t perfect. I opted for a hot shoe mount and tried a couple at varying price points. To begin, you’ll need a way to mount your iPhone to your camera. Not only will such a setup work with the a6300, but it’ll work with other digital cameras that support such functionality. The solution? Use your iPhone as a digital viewfinder. Sony missed a big opportunity by not including a built-in way for vloggers to view themselves while on camera.

One common complaint, however, is the lack of a selfie screen on the a6300. The camera has already received a ton of praise - Jeff took it for a test drive the other week, and enjoyed its 4K shooting abilities. Sony’s a6300 is one of the Japanese company’s most recently released cameras and is the successor to the very popular a6000.
