4. Remote Shutter Release

The remote shutter release is a small standalone device that connects to your mobile phone and allows you to click pictures without being physically near your phone. 

Without a remote shutter release device, you need to set timers and then run against the clock to get into position.
The best part is that you don’t even have to buy a remote shutter release. iPhone buds have a remote shutter release feature built-in. So does the Apple watch. In fact, most smart bands or smartwatches allow you to use it as a remote shutter release.

3. Extra Light source

Even though iPhone’s built-in flashlight works in most cases. It is always nice to have more control over your lighting conditions.

1. Tripod

The most important accessory of them all. Tripods are a staple for any serious photographer. They allow you to place the camera in perfect positions and help keep them stable. Stability is essential for long exposure shots or pictures where you also want to be in the picture. 

Not all tripods are made equal. Some are huge industrial-grade tripods. Those are not that portable for someone using a smartphone camera.
