Quick Answer
To film skateboarding with a phone, you need the phone, enough battery, a stable grip or tripod, and decent audio if you talk to camera. Do not buy a complicated rig first. Buy the tool that fixes the problem you actually have.

FAQ
Do I need an action camera?
No. Start with your phone. Add an action camera only if you need POV footage, better mounting, or more rugged capture.
Do I need a microphone?
Only if you talk in your clips. If the video is just skating, battery and stability matter first.
