Yeah I've been wanting to by a tripod for my cellphone camera for awhile, because I normally get cellphones with pretty damn good quality for a phone, but never did. And I got the shakiest of hands, went to the doctor for it and he said, unless you need to do super small task like surgery, you don't need to worry or need pills for it lol.
Anyways, yeah I would probably try to purchase the best quality picture taking camera before a USB, and get a tripod or bamboo it like you did. I don't need a all metal cast cam that doesn't even have near the mp that a cheaper camera would have that's just made out of cheaper material, doesn't mean the technology is bad.
