I don't understand the advice given here. The whole point of the OSMO Mobile is the gimbal mount for the iPhone, so why would you add a phone holder to the side of the unit?
The problem for iPhone 7 users is not the OSMO, it's with the missing headphone jack. A physical audio connection is simply not an option for iPhone 7. For non-iPhone users, dangling a cable from a gimble mounted device just seems like a bad idea, even if it does look like its "balancing ok".
I think there are only two solid options for the OSMO Mobile;
1. Accept it as a "simple" solution for making great video, with phone-mic sound quality, or
2. Record your audio on a seperate device, then mix the audio and video afterwards (iMovie works great for this). If it's quality you are after, this is best solution anyway, regardless of which phone, gimbal, or mic you are using. It's not as hard as it sounds, it will sound better, and as a bonus, it's relatively cheap to implement. You can use any mic you want, and attach a cheap digital sound recorder.
Note: you won't be able to use the iPhone you are recording video on the capture the sound, even with bluetooth, because that would require two apps to be running simultaneously, and I don't believe the audio set-up on iPhone works that way. There are plenty of cheap and portable digital sound recorders on the market.
