I finally got the batteries I need for my lights, and I want to get back into trying to step up my photography game. I one problem I am having is I can't get happy with using my iPhone on my tripod using the holder that I purchased. I'm using an iPhone 12 mini. When I set up the phone, the "C" portion of the holder covers so much of the screen that I cannot easily get my finger to touch focus to the center of the screeen, AND get access to the button to initiate a shot. I am also using CameraPixels lite.
Is anybody else using a mini iPhone that can offer a work around here? Do I simply frame the shot without zooming in, shoot at maximum file size, let CameraPixels do it's thing, and the crop out the scene to what I want? I REALLY do not enjoy photography, so I am a bit perplexed on the best way to try to get better shots now that I have all the tools.
Is the image stabilization in the new iphones good enough that I do not need a tripod? (I just had a flashback to "The Wild Bunch" "It must be mounted on a tripod!").
The last time I played with this phone and CameraPixel Lite, I was also having a hard time getting good focused shots on a 10 shot sequence. Of the 10 photos, maybe two of them were in focus well enough to use. I don't seem to remember that being a problem when I used my old iPhone SE.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Jerry
