DIY Rig for Overhead Video

In this video I create what I like to call an "elegant solution" to creating overhead video footage that includes a mount for your camera, microphone, and light. I outline the uses, equipment, and assembly of this self-contained rolling stand that is perfect for shooting tabletop - or any overhead - video. Excellent for unboxing videos, demonstrations and more, I also provide some helpful tips to getting better overhead footage. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Equipment used for this build: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Flashpoint 10' C-Stand w/ Arm & 2 Grip Heads: https://www.adorama.com/fplsc.html Sandbags: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MAY6X8S/ Innorel D-30 Ball Head Kit (to mount the camera): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WZCZ18S/ CLAR Luminous Pro 19" Bi-Color Ringlight: It looks like this has been discontinued, but the link should show you some alternative options: https://www.adorama.com/cllclrl19.html?discontinued=t Small Ball Head Shoe Mount (to mount the microphone): https://www.amazon.com/SMALLRIG-Camera-Mount-Additional-Screw/dp/B075M336JZ/ Movo VXR10 Microphone: https://www.movophoto.com/collections/on-camera-microphones/products/movo-vxr10-universal-cardioid-condenser-video-microphone - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Other equipment used in this video: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sony A7III: https://www.adorama.com/isoa7m3.html Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 Di III RXD: https://www.adorama.com/tm2875soe.html Sony Vario-Tessar FE 16-35mm F4 OSS: https://www.adorama.com/iso16354e.html Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone: https://www.adorama.com/semke600.html CLAR Illumi Max 120 High Power Bi-Color LED Light: https://www.adorama.com/clilmax120bl....
