I've spent many years taking stills (mostly of female models). The cell phone has come a long way and can often perform nearly as well as the DSLR. I will take stills, but usually with the cell phone. My DSLR shoots video as well, but I really haven't used it for that, due it's weight. We have a couple GoPro's, Feiyu tech gimbals, DJI Osmomobile, etc....I like the idea of the cell phone for shooting video. The Osmomobile is not really that good with the iPhone 7 plus. It does ok in vlog (selfie) mode, but issues the other way around. The GoPro's are good to use. They are small and easy to use. But you have to keep batteries charged. Take them out of the gimbal, replace battery, etc...sometimes a pain in the butt.
But overall, I like video better than stills. There's more work in producing a video than a picture. We are still learning and hopefully getting better. At least it keeps us interested. Plus the wife isn't too keen anymore of me photographing half naked women that are half our age...lol
As a photographer and husband I feel your pain. Wife's seem to think differently as they get older lol. Luckily mine will still get in front of the camera every now and then......usually it takes some cocktails first.
