Thanks Tim! I had been using a standard tripod with a smart phone adapter which just broke (!) so I am looking to upgrade my set up, I think this would work much better to help enhance the perspective of the keyboard when teaching my students on Zoom. Great advice, as always!

Tim, Wondering how you set up your overhead mic, something similar to the iKlip? And do you have any recommendations for a mic under $150? I play on a Yamaha upright piano in my basement that is a large, open space. Thanks for your time

Thanks for this. I’m a kirtanist / harmonium player and putting together an online chanting and harmonium course. The front videos are easy but the above ones are SOOO challenging! I ended up using a joby tripod stand for my phone, wrapped around a mic stand behind me. Need to trim the videos a bit, but works ok!

Hi Tim, great video! I’m wondering if you know a way to record overhead, but live for Skype lessons for a student I have. Ideally, I’d love to have two screens going on at once: one so the student can see my face, and another where they can see my overhead view. Thanks!

The screw can't be tight enough to hold the iphone holder when i try to put it on the boom stand so it just wobbles, what do i do? Is there another iphone holder that you can recommend?

Gaffer tape? New mic stand? I know what you mean... don't extend the boom so far out?

Sorry to hear that... I'd just google for it and also look on ebay if that's available? Also see what other things Amazon has. Sorry - not sure what's available in your area.

The keyboard is the same height so not sure what you mean except you'll need a mic boom stand over your head from behind you.

@topmusicco
@topmusicco 4 года назад
hey @Boccia waterproofing, run the mic through your laptop & program of choice. It's plug & play if you're using USB which we do usually. The program handles the mix. You can get more complicated with an AV setup but this is fine for starters.
