Phone holder for camera

Hi all, quite often im out walking with the family and want a photo of us all. Imagine i get everyone clustered together, put the phone to image mode then set a 10 second self timer. You prop the phone between 2 rocks, it falls over, you rest it against a tree, its not quite pointing at everyone but you cant tell cos you cant see the screen. You finally stuff the phone in the top of your wallet on the floor and it stays put while you press go and run back to pack everyone closer together. The phone ends up wet or muddy. Everyone else had this problem? How do you get round it? Thanks Lee

yes there's actually a clamp type small mini tripod available to do exactly what you want. Plus its great for video recording because it holds the camera very smooth and steady so the video looks professional not having any shaking or jerky movements whatsoever. Sorry I forget the name or where to get it but it exists. Google will surely find it I'm sure.
