@gittevandevelde2208 4 года назад

So...how to do it without a fancy tripod? With gear it's easy!

@strongeronplants 3 года назад

Box of height you need + phone + weight to put on your phone so it doesn't fall. Put phone on the box so you have your item in frame. Then put the weight on part of the phone which lies on the box. That should work to some extend. It's harder without the tripod, also the anxiety of falling is greater :D if you plan to shoot more videos from bird view, there's bunch of cheaper, smaller tripods out there.

I just picked up this exact boom stand and head based on your video, and couldn't be happier. It's a little more expensive now, but well worth the money. About to shoot my first overhead video tonight, have it all dialed in. Thank you for this video, it helped a lot. Took less than 5 minutes to setup, so awesome.

@AllThingsFilm1 5 лет назад

Another great find, Josh. Along with the top down shooting technique, this stand has so many valuable uses for film making. It would be great for one man crews as a boom stand, for one. Thanks a million. This one is a no brainer for low budget film making.

@MomentumProductions1992 5 лет назад

Exactly! This stand can be used in so many ways, it’s unreal! Thank you for your constant support man! :)

@PanDownTiltLeft 5 лет назад

When we shoot overhead on food prep we use a mirror. Doesn't work for everything but the ability to tilt the camera up to get the overhead and then straight at the talent is very handy.

@MomentumProductions1992 5 лет назад

Very interesting!!! Send me photos/videos of your setup! I would love to check it out :)

I’m in the same spot, found it for 20% off and it’s STILL 76$

@BigPiePublishing 3 года назад

Couple of other thoughts... if you make sure one tripod leg is parallel to the boom arm you might avoid a counterweight depending on the camera weight. Even of you need the counterweight it's an additional stabilizer. Also, a smart phone or tablet could be used wirelessly as a monitor depending on the camera and available software. I'm using a Sony a6500 and it works really well.

@pandascoops 2 года назад

Is there an app you use for using your phone as a monitor that or you connect the monitor and the phone via bluetooth?

@Data_analyst. 5 лет назад

Thank you! It was a very good content that you can easily understand just by looking at the video! The point was to hang the weight on the other side of the camera!

@StemgoalswithMrSmith 4 года назад

Thanks - I've just been looking for over an hour at various tripods , boom arms etc. to try and get this type of shot - your video sorted it in a few minutes. Great work. Thanks!

@StemgoalswithMrSmith 4 года назад

Now have the stand & ball head - it's now so much quicker to get setup and recording. Also, I used to set up some pretty unstable tripod setups which I'm just not willing to try with an M50.

@CaffeineByTwilight Год назад

Love this video. I’m just getting into top down filming and am a little overwhelmed on how to start. You made it easy. A friend of mind told me only cops and serial killers drink their coffee black, so I looked back at them and said, “Well I’m not a cop so what does that make me?” Lol

@StarWarsJay 3 года назад

Thanks mate. Your tip on keeping the table clean is spot on. Such an obvious thing, but I’ve lost count how many shots I’ve binned because of a shinny fingerprint or pieces of dust.

@caspenbee 7 месяцев назад

So, at current prices: $170 for the monitor + $$98 for the tripod + $30 for the ball head + $220 for the light. You're looking at over $500 without the camera or mic! There are cheaper ways. No beginner should spend this much.

Which light should i use for top down video or overhead video.... ring light or soft light?

@switchunboxing Год назад

Very cool, thank you. I have been using a tripod, but I’m wanting to change that, and always looking for ways to improve my shots and methods! Counterweight seems a little tedious, so I think I’m going to try and look for a system that runs off of two stands, one on each side of the desk. You did get me thinking, and kind of confirming that you can’t really just do one arm. I bought an arm off the Internet that’s supposed to clip off of your table, but I wasn’t understanding how the hell that’s supposed to work especially when I upgrade to a full camera. They don’t really explain that one. They just say it’s super durable and everything. But the type of joints that it uses are complex as well. So I don’t think I’m going to be able to use it. It’s just too much involved.

@HumbertoAbed 4 года назад

I have the same exact stand but it feels like it can't handle much weight. I see you have your camera in a cage, doesn't that ads too much for the stand? Also, I neeed to really tight the "braces" because even when very tight, they tend to slip (hope you understand, English is not my first language)
