View Full Version : hands free vide recording with smartphone
hey guys, heres a video of my mean machine running out the end of the batteries. what i wanted to really share was the fact that i recorded this myself. how? i bent up a coathanger to hold my iphone, then bent the wire so it would fit snug on the lid of my baseball cap. ill post a pic if anybody wants to see it. its very crude but works fine. anyways heres the vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve6d9fgyqPw

my camcorder is a minitape? I don't even remember the format any more, it is one generation after the so-called Hi 8 :roflol: I have been using a digital camera for video and I have been thinking a way to video my boat runs with one hand, so far I have not come up with any practical solution.

I am using a canon power shot 520a camera,
And I just velcro strap it to my tactic 2.4 tx.
turn it on and it's hands free.
But I am looking for a camcorder with a better picture and some zoom with a hard drive for good memory,
And cheap.:lol:

There is a lot that i still need to learn: for instance, if you up load anything to YOUTUBE what is the least resolution and still viewable, I don't want to go crazy on Hi-Def but still good quality.
The velcro makes sense. Don't want to clog Dana's original thread, maybe we should move the discussion to somewhere else.
here are the pics, and another vid i shot with it

That..........my friend, is a very neat invention!!! You kept the boat in the frame as well................I bet more folks use your cap holder!

yeah, i make sure the lens sits at the bottom near the lid of the hat, so its closer to eye level. usually i just wrap an elastic around the phone to make sure it does slide out.
thanks again!
