Travel tripod
Folding tripod small enough for a backpack, for fixed shots
A tripod that collapses into something you can fly with and extends to roughly eye level. It holds a camera still for interviews, pieces to camera and time lapses. Phones need a separate clamp mount, since most tripod heads only take a camera screw. Tabletop versions weigh almost nothing and let you film off any flat surface.

For interviews and any fixed shot he carried a Vanguard VEO 235AB, picked because it folds down small enough for a suitcase. A UBeesize mini tripod covered the days he left the big one behind and filmed off a table. What actually grips the phone is a Glif clamp, since tripod heads take camera screws.
