I'm filming a series of laptop repair videos. Having filmed a few my hands either get in the way of the camera or the lid of the laptop screen get in the way.
Anyway after some experimenting I started using a webcam taped a hat - the results were good however too much camera movement.
Having got two Canon XHA1's i'm thinking it would probably be better if I could use them. Can anyone recommend an overhead/birdseye soution. That I can buy off the shelf. Not really wanting to do something DIY as I do not have the time or the tools.
Something similar to what animation studios use to hold the cemera above a drawing. Probably about 3 foot max in height.
