The first setup
Use the phone you already have. The first problem is usually not camera quality; it is shaky framing, a dead battery, and trying the same trick without enough protection.
A tripod grip gives you fast static shots and simple talking clips. A clamp mount lets you put the phone somewhere stable. Wrist guards and a helmet make it easier to keep filming tomorrow.
