Why you can trust Digital Camera World Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out how we test.

Today’s smartphones can do a pretty good job of capturing high quality video and clear audio, but sometimes the results can be disappointing. In low light your smartphone’s footage may suffer from chroma and luminance noise as the camera boosts the ISO to reveal more detail. Your smartphone’s mic might pick up unwanted audio from your environment, making it difficult to hear your voice clearly.  

A handheld smartphone can capture wobbly and amateur looking footage as some YouTube channels and TikTok can feeds demonstrate.  You can buy smartphone accessories such as tripods, LED lamps and plug-in mics from a range of suppliers but these tend to work independently from each other.
