One tip I learned long ago that really makes a difference: don't put sand in the sand bags. It easily leaks out and can also jam the zipper. Use small gravel instead. If you rinse it to get any small particles or dirt off and let it dry before putting it in your 'sand' bags, you won't have any issues with leakage or other annoying issues with your weight bags. I'm using bags that I filled with gravel five or six years ago and they're just like I filled them yesterday.

very helpful :D

[@leticialisboa7692]

Ok, I actually never comment on any youtube video. There is no big reason behind it, I just never did. But now I truly feel the necessity to express how much I appreciate your videos. You feed us with so much high-quality content it's insane! Thank you so much.

[@PhilipLemoine]

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such an amazing comment. This really made my day! Thank you thank you thank you, Leticia!

Hi Philip, thank you for the video. I have an old-fashioned tripod and an iPhone. I would like to figure out how to inexpensively film overhead. Very inexpensively, I just want to film a couple of videos. I can’t figure out what kind of an arm I would need vertically to attach to the tripod.

[@ALLBOUTTHUGLIFE]

I have a two C-stand overhead, with some hefty build quality from Glide Gear. I thought about the camera shake and all. I replaced the cross bar with some schedule 40 aluminum framing pipe. Best $169 I ever spent. I even got me a 2nd one. Great channel. 🙏

[@Dr.Baiduc]

Your videos are AMAZING!!! I am binge watching your instruction videos and can’t wait for your cooking creators course!!!

[@arismendygill8792]

Thank you, this was quite helpful as I was looking for an inexpensive C Stand and the cheapest I was finding was $120. This tips will also help me take pictures of clothing better.

[@VeraPin88]

Thanks for this tutorial as it’s the most detail video on how to shoot top down shots for food.

[@mogauthier1000]

Thank you. Will be purchasing the newer c-stand and phone holder from Amazon. Great video.

I'm going to be using my gopro for overhead shots. I have a set up now that clamps to my table and I think it'll work.

This was really helpful as I want to upgrade my studio as well! Thanks for sharing Philip!

[@RhubarbAndCod]

Wow! All such great tips Philip! We went the c-stand route as well for all our overhead mounting, and for us it's hard to picture a better piece of equipment for the job. Very nicely done!

Recently started a KZbin channel, this info came in handy. Thank you very much.

[@UnitedCuisines]

Thanks a lot Philip, super helpful!

[@CookinWithSquirrl]

Very nice sir! I currently shoot with GoPros on SNAP Mounts (magnetic mount) and I can throw the GoPro on the underside of my microwave to get a really stable top down shot of my cooking surface. Pretty niche setup but it works well for me. I will certainly have use of your tips one day far in the future when I have a fancier setup.

[@hyoh-wu]

Thanks for making these videos. Appreciate it

[@devinhedge]

On the boom stand, you can get a counterweight on Amazon that hangs from the opposite end. Them come in 1lb and 3lb sizes, I think.

[@DecodingMedical]

This is super amazing video

[@Dr.Baiduc]

Oh and I really liked your “pop up” before I was able to comment (“don’t be a jerk or you will be blocked”) How do you set that up? I was trying to google / KZbin this but can’t find the answer…

[@mamaseasykitchen]

Great video once again! I recently got a Sony a6000 and my old "flimsy" phone mounts can't hold up the weight of my camera. So this video helps out since I'm looking for new mounts. Thanks 😊

[@kosherketomaven]

I don't understand this note in the Amazon link for the Newer C stand: NOTE: When you adjust the angle under the conditions that the weight on both sides of the joint head is not balanced, it will damage the screw that connects the two halves of the joint. SO PLEASE hold the rear part of the arm to keep the arm balanced firstly before adjusting the angle

[@MorganizewithMe]

You have nice hair! Thanks for the tips!

[@Foodverses]

I'm really excited for the course you are making! When will it be done?

[@CookingWithRyan]

What are your thoughts on using a suction cup to suction your camera on the cabinet above your stove

[@zinoojogbo]

I tried to register for your course but I get an error message that the special offer is no longer available and there is no option to buy it otherwise . Have you stopped selling the course?

[@tommyc4885]

Can the C stand be used as a standard tripod without the arm? Or should I get one for overhead and one for standard shots?

[@NaturesLover2023]

Thank you so much for this very helpful content

[@justakram7788]

I will say this loud and proudly: FIRST

[@vickeyfoodtour]

Thanks for valuable information👍

[@monicawi113]

What zoom lens do you use? I see that you use Sony mirrorless camera and so am I.

[@biancarusso8226]

Is there an alternative to a c stand if you are just planning on using your phone? I am thinking maybe since it is more lightweight, there could be cheaper options?

[@trebelsworld]

Hi Philip! Do you have any tips for shooting overhead + straight on at the same time? For example, if you were cooking how would you setup your overhead + your a cam?

[@2GleanFromHisWord]

Does the C stand have a place to hold a phone for overhead shot

[@Shelly_Dee]

[@EINY380]

Hi Philip! I want to shoot my stove but there's no access to it except the kitchen closet that the stove, do you have any suggestion for a tripod or any device I can use to shoot an overhead stove video?

[@elixirpolish5519]

when your cooking/shooting - how do you make sure youre always in focus? Do you have an external screen setup? I know makeup gurus have an external screen so they can see themselves, the lighting and make sure their hand isnt blocking when filming

For the sand bags….put the sand inside sealable plastic bags first. Otherwise, very fine sand is going come out of the sand bag.

Can anybody help? is it possible to turn a video around once it is shot? Just asking beacause most of these videos are shot from the "wrong" angle.

[@rrmatt4660]

I was able to turn video from profile view to landscape in post editing in DaVinci Resolve. But I have the paid version. Unfortunately, I have to take a second action to crop the view to fill the screen, and then it is too close up. I will have to re-film anyway because my overhead wasn't centered. I'm getting the C stand, it will be worth it! I was trying to balance a pole on a ladder with iphone on. It was a pain, plus my iphone kept locking, I can't disable that because of other security requirements on the phone. Luckily, I have an old DSR camera and am going to give that a try.

[@mikephotos225]

Another way to deal with focus is to use back button focus, something many pro photographers set up on their cameras as a matter of course. All major cameras - Nikon, Canon, Sony - have a setting for it. BBF separates focus from the shutter button, so instead of the 'half press' of the shutter button to focus, the focus function is removed from the shutter button and assigned to a different button on the camera. This button is usually on the back of the camera - hence the term 'back button focus'. When you focus this way, once you push the button on the back, focus is locked until you push the focus button again. So it accomplishes the same thing as manual focus but is usually quicker.
