For years, I've been wanting to capture my welds, but didn't have the internet to give me a reason to do the exact same thing you did with your phone. You proved it does work, thanks! As for brazing, your metal isn't going to fuse into the base meta like ER70S6 into mild steell, rather you're just looking to hit it fast and have it freeze the moment you move on with your bead. It also looks like you could feed your puddle about 10 CFM of argon to stop consuming your base. Honestly, just go buy some aluminum bar stock and several pounds of aluminum filler wire. 1/8", then onto 3/32", and then 1/16 is your progression to help you adjust to satisfying your puddle as well as learning how to not grow boogers on your aluminum filler wire. Once you get aluminum down, you'll for across steel and everything in-between with confidence. It looks like you're running a standard collet body with a #5-6 cup, but you may want a gas lens with a #7-8 to drop your gas flow later. Brazing requires a lot more argon due to those metals not wanting to weld. I don't use stand collets, it wastes a lot of gas and to get it looking right, you've really got to dial in the argon perfectly without disturbing your arc. You can have a lot of issues using the standard consumables. As for your weld, I've seen it before... What's scary is when you get good enough to help others and you still recall your first bout woes with brazing! Brazing is a different beast. My personal welding machine is the EVERLAST 255 EXT 250 amps with a 6/10 duty cycle and both 120/240v operation. I love that it drops down to 3 DC amps and 5 AC amps. I like that CK MT200 too, they seem like really nice units. I hope I gave you something that helps your cause in this comment and take care!
I know this video is from a couple of years ago, but the video you got works really well. I tried similar, but didn't persist with the phone settings, and I think the lens might be too dark. I'll have to try again to get some nice weld shots!
Awesome job, finally someone does a good how to on arc shots!! Man that 3d printed phone mout is Rad!!!, I have a fab welding channel and trying to dial in arc shots with a S9 Samsung, thanks for the tips!!! God Bless Adrian at AC Designs Garage 🙏

Fantastic example for folks interested in making this kinda stuff. great idea, well made vid showing an excellent starting point.
You're a very ingenious guy! Your 3d printed part and stand conversion are awesome!

Great little video … have been wanting to film a welding project for awhile … will have to get on with it now I know How … thanks … Nick

That’s dope bro. 👍🏼
The shots look great..im hoping to do the same with my ultra s22
Got any link for indicator?
Great idea.
Cool video!
Nice !
