Ultimate Guide to Rigging Overhead Cameras
video description
File/NewMovieRecording
in that screen, next to the REC button there is an arrow to select source of recording - select your iPhone
you will see your phone's camera (back phone or frontal camera, whichever you select)
-
and now you can see on your monitor (iMac/MacBook) what the phone is shooting without having a giraffe neck and try to see what's in the screen's phone

I just put one together at home to shoot a few videos for work. There are kits that'll let you mount a pipe from your local hardware store to the top of 2 c stands and you can either clamp your mount on or use the one that usually comes with them. Costs you an extra c-stand but it's hella stable and relatively inexpensive if you don't mind the industrial look.

I'm a musician, watching you use the back end of the boom stand (hahaha) That part is there to balance to weight on the other end when you attach a mic or whatever to it with an adapter. Sure a cell phone is light but you get the boom angle between a set of legs and BOOM! Hahahaha!

ive got a boom stand - added an adapter to match the threads of my camera (sony a6000) - and it works just fine -- some may need a counter weight - but it cost about $30 - dont need professional expensive gear to work with a mirrorless

Since the host so rudely interrupted Casey before he could tell us the name of the clamp he used to secure the larger camera, is there any chance you could add the name of the clamp to the description below the video?

You ended up cutting out the part that you said what you used for the heavier cameras: (
around 10: 21
It was unclear to what was used afterall
What did you guys use instead of the 1/4-20 please?

For the third setup, you say, instead of a 1/4-20-- then you cut off, and sort of show the rig, bit then jump to putting on a safety chain. Care to elaborate on how the camera is attached to the actual stand?

Thanks so much for this episode guys; I wanted to find something like this about a year and a half ago for a project and found almost nothing helpful on the subject. Keep making epic videos!

Instead of clamping the FX9, while it would increase the weight a bit, I'd think I'd have put it in a cage and grabbed that with either the clamp or multiple screw/bolts. No?

That is really unfair. the more important part is the light. and in my country is super difficult find good lighting. And I have a glass table. but like always is good advice!

How do you think Storyblocks compares to Artgrid? I know Artgrid has RAW/Log footage, but as you mentioned, Storyblocks has all the footage, plus AE templates.

I have a couple menace arms that I use for every shoot. Rather than having the triangle system, it uses a locking wheel and a couple shot bags. A must have!

6: 45 I get the big leg (longest reach) under the load thing, but wouldn't bagging the opposing legs require less weight and/or give better leverage?

I would love to have seen how you guys connected that monitor to the c stand. I got glimpses of it in the video but would love to know the full details.

This was perfect timing! I have all the stuff for the iPhone already but I'm going to try it with a small mirrorless (Canon M50)

The grip arm triangulation is such a great idea and so simple I don't know why I didn't think of it before. Thanks for that tip!

I made my own overhead box using 2x2 wood and some plywood. I like your back lit curtain though. I should add that to my booth.

What are some C-Stand brands/models that are good quality but won't break the bank? Also any sandbag recommendations?

Might be a silly question but do you have to turn your auto rotate off. And flip your camera around?
