Best buy under $25

Co-host Mike Fuchs loves being able to shoot high definition video with his new iPhone 4. But the icing on the cake would be the ability to mount that puppy on a tripod.

Well, fear not all you Steven Spielberg wannabes out there.

Mike found a great solution at a pretty good price.

It's a tripod holder created by G Design LLC and works with all iPhone models.

It fits snuggly over part of your iPhone and has a threaded hole so you can screw it into a tripod.

One thing to keep in mind though is it doesn't work well with the iPhone bumper.

Hard to get on there.

You also can't do landscape shots using a video camera tripod because of the location of the screw mount. But a tripod designed for still cameras such as mine should work.

The price isn't bad though. It's $9.95 plus $3 shipping.

Also bear in mind there are other tripod mount products out there, so shop around if you like.

Watch a sample of some video I shot using the tripod mount during the News & Record's recent community yard sale here:

Speaking finding a good deal, details of our best buy under $25 contest including how to sign up will be revealed during next week's show.
