2. Stable footage: Stability is crucial for capturing smooth videos. Invest in a smartphone tripod or stabilization equipment to keep your shots steady. This will help prevent shaky footage and ensure a professional-looking result.

3. Composition; Pay attention to the composition of your shots. Experiment with different angles and perspectives to find the most visually appealing compositions. Consider including elements such as rocks, vegetation, or surrounding landscapes to add depth and context to your videos.
