If it's another comic it shouldn't be a problem. Some people may not want to be bothered though. If I were you I'd just order something like this and not worry about relying on anyone else.

>He creates a daily 30+ minute window where the kids act badly, that he can document as 'poor parenting' on mom's part, because she's got a hand behind her back so to speak.

Yes, he is most definitely doing this on purpose. Note that the "nanny nanny boo boo" and constant misbehavior is going to look a lot worse in court than cutting short a phone call. First, let's give Mom another hand:

Figure out a place to set it up. Perhaps on a coffee table pointed at the couch or a child's dresser pointed at the bed. Put down some lift off tape as markings so you don't have to re-position it every night. You have absolutely zero duty to be following the kids around the house for a video call. "You have to be on the bed or couch so your dad can see you" works just fine.

Now Mom can more effectively discipline and kid corral.

>Because when she does, father asks her not to do that during his "one phone call" with the kids.

Hey guess what? Not everything is about him. My house. My rules. "I do not permit bad behavior in my house." His precious 15 minute phone call is no excuse to allow the children to engage in a free for all.

>He uses this same rationale to not scold/punish kids during mother's 5 minute call when he has custody every other weekend.

Feel free to tape his lousy control over his children and refusal to discipline. Get a couple of tapes of particularly awful behavior at his house and then text them to him with a polite message asking that he do more to facilitate your phone calls.

I really really recommend that you send my suggested email first before making any sudden changes. This will give him time to process, it will be an excellent defense if he tries to claim that you are just cutting of his calls for some spiteful purpose, and is much less likely to lead to massive conflict than if you suddenly just pull the rug out from under him by cutting him off at bedtime.

Microsoft partnered with a company to make one that attaches to your controller. You may be better off with one of the flexible tripods though; not sure how annoying it would be to constantly be looking down at your phone or holding your controller high enough to see your phone. I know when I play Xbox, my controller is in my lap.

I use this. I drop it into the top of my bag, plus it can attach to the barriers of the driving range bays.

Then your all set.

Plenty of microphones you can find online will plug into a DSLR or your phone if there's an audio jack (3.5 mm).

Here are a few I found:

Very low profile and not distracting, better when worn on your shirt.
This is more for when you're static and you aren't moving around too much.

More of a vlogging style mic, won't get tangled in your shirt.
You can move around with this more as there is no cord. I do suggest that if you use it with a phone you have something to mount the phone on such as a gorilla mount.

You'll still have to edit the audio levels in post, but these are pretty good options for what you are looking for.

I have one of those flexible tripods for smartphones and it's worked great for me. You just have to buy a screw adapter for it if you're using a standard shockmount. I believe this is the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07837W5NX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_YeJRCbPZAASTT

It's a tripod so I don't have to have a spot to clamp it. It can wrap if needed which I've used to put on a steering wheel for those quick makeshift VO sessions, for example. They haven't been huge issues, but the two things I don't like about the particular one I got is that the it's very easy to press the quick release buttons on the plate. Also, it's very easy to "overscrew" the adapter.

I see. sounds good.

If you are going to train in that place for a long time, might be good to buy some phone tripod. It might make you be able to record better and check your forms before you make bad forms in to a habit without knowing it.

The Head Mount I don't know about, but this tripod isn't bad;

I'd wager that this is a legit reason to use your phone camera in the gym. You're not Instagramming yourself, you're worried about your form and don't have a lift partner to watch you as you do sets. Consider getting a little tripod, film yourself with low weight or just the bar (especially on compound lifts) and watch it back immediately to see what doesn't look right and make adjustments from there. Once you're comfortable with your form, then start upping the weight. You can't (shouldn't) train if you're injured and bad form is a quick way to getting hurt. At a minimum, bad form doesn't properly work the muscle groups you're targeting and will slow your progress.

I haven't done Max Size, but Jeff knows his stuff, so it's probably a pretty good program.

You are probably thinking of something like this

I have one of these
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07837W5NX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_FzH2CbHF5XVHQ

I keep one of these in my trunk for range days. There are a bunch of versions. I think I paid like $12 for mine, that comes with a blue tooth remote to start/stop video. I either put a tripod leg in the top of my bag to raise is up, or just leave it on the ground.

I know you want a solution that keeps the hardware you're familiar with but a ten year old scanner is invariably going to need to be replaced in the near future anyway so please bear with me for a moment and I promise my solution is not only very simple to set up but you can do so very cheaply or even virtually free...

To start, there are other much more reasonably priced document scanners/projectors for well under $1000 (for example this one for $450, this one for $200, and this one for $100 ...and those all just came from the "customers who viewed the DC260 also viewed this product" section...)

  Honestly though, if it were me/my class I would just use an old smartphone or small tablet mounted on one of those bendy tripods.
  
  My mom is also a teacher and the first time I read about a grading app (like this one) almost 10 years ago I set up a similar scanning/projector setup for her with my old smartphone. There are tons of similar apps that will function as a photo scanner and "grader" and it's very straightforward to connect the output to a display/projector.

  If you can get your hands on pretty much any kind of used Android smart phone or a tablet from within the last 5 or so years you can get set up with what you need for less than $100.
  
  
  If you don't have the necessary skills to set it up yourself and neither do any friends/coworkers/students/etc... let me know and I'll help you with more details. You really don't need to spend much if anything depending on the route you want to go.
  
  edit: You could use your current phone first just to see if you like the idea and only then commit to finding and setting up a used one as a permanent scanner/overhead...
