What Do I Need to Film Skateboarding With a Phone?
Quick answer
For skate clips, buy a phone tripod grip first. It fixes shaky solo footage faster than a new camera does.

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.
