nice i have same tripod and do the same. I also use a mic stand too as tripod with long arm

[@JamesHannonAuthor]

That’s not a bad idea too. I had a great mic stand that would be ideal, but lost it in my recent move

[@KeigoMoriyama]

@@JamesHannonAuthor that's a pity

[@JamesHannonAuthor]

@@KeigoMoriyama i didnt think I'd be using it again, and put it in a closet corner that I didnt think to check before leaving the final time

I don’t know how I got to this video, but awesome tip! I just need to get me a camera and tripod 😆

[@JamesHannonAuthor]

It’s so simple and cheap to do! Glad you found it interesting
