This is the amusing moment a supportive toddler held his mum's phone to record her dancing video.

Jonah Mae Lusito and a friend wanted to film themselves dancing, but could not find a dry spot to place her phone in Manila, the Philippines.

This prompted the clever mother to ask her four-year-old son, Zian, to hold the device while they performed in front of the camera on November 9.

Footage shows the two women moving to the beat of the music coming from the smartphone, while the young boy stood still, expertly stabilising the gadget with his right hand.

Zian can be seen watching them, beaming with amusement at their choreography.

Jonah said: 'We could not find a place to put my phone down to take a video because it rained that night, so I thought of making my baby a human tripod. He was so cute holding the phone, smiling and seeming to really enjoy us dancing.'
