Good coverage, totally support this. Couple of things:
I would get a stand for the phone, you can get one of these for really cheap and a cheap tripod and that would greatly help the video presentation.
Also, have your notes off to the side so you can quickly glance and also just do a quick run down before you hit record.
Those would greatly affect your videos, I like this man keep it up! Curious to see your thoughts going into the season. Good job!

If you're still deciding on which kind of tripod to purchase, you may want to consider purchasing a universal phone mount that can be screwed into most standard tripods. You could even use it on different tripods as needed, if you were to end up with more than one.
I'd recommend getting a phone mount with a tripod screw hole so you can use any tripod. I have the Joby GripTight mount and though it is more expensive than some of the other offerings it is about the only one I could find that would work for the Lumia 925 (it straddles the lock button and opens wide enough - a lot of the cheaper options grip the phone in the middle, which would hit the lock button, or only open wide enough for the smaller iPhone). It grips the phone securely and feels like a quality item that justifies the higher price.
As for tripod recommendations, the Velbon DF-61 is very good value for money though being a full-size tripod may be a bit on the large size to carry with you on holiday. I have heard good things about the GorillaPod (and that particular item seems to come with the GripTight mount mentioned earlier) though have not used it myself.
Cell phone tripod cinch is about $10-$15
Buy an inexpensive tripod like this and a mount like this and you can use your cell phone as a camera. The tripod and mount will last way longer than any webcam, and can be used with any future phone you buy. Almost all phones today shoot 1080p, and the tripod will give you way more flexibility in setting up shots.
Istabilizer comes in two sizes, I'm not sure which would fit the Nexus 5. It seems like most are designed for Iphone size phones.

As I say, I'm yet to try either myself. But I've reduced the search down to those two.
Just use a Joby phone mount and use your phone to record. You might have to find the correct mount size for your phone.
Then record audio with a SmartLav+ by Rode or using your apple headphones. I'll be writing an article soon on recording HQ video/audio with your phone.
