[@joedeshon]

Glad to have you back, sir. You have been missed.

[@MagicBiscuitShow]

Good to see you back... .

[@dallasdandigitalproduction393]

I still have the $5 pvc camera rig i learned to build from your vid. Its so durable and simple.

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

This is very ingenious, thanks for the tip

[@killerskincanoe]

Hey hey hey... Yo.. Glad to see you back, you gave me so much inspiration as I started into photography..

[@coreybond6074]

[@lamine.net86]

King of DIY ❤️

[@frugalfilmmaker]

Thank you, kind sir!

[@lasserious]

I am so happy you're making some vids! You have helped my KZbin so much over the past 7 years! (this is my personal account not my KZbin)

[@RohitBanerjee]

The master is back. So glad to hear from you again ...

[@NorboHitman]

FINALLY he's back :D I hope all is well and the break was for more awesome activities only!

[@gefloigle]

Great idea! I love this channel.

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

Brilliant, another Frugal Filmmaker classic! Keep em coming Scott. Cheers!

[@AthanCondax]

Welcome back! I hope the break did you some good. Your community has missed you.

[@KingfisherTalkingPictures]

Good to see you back. I made some of my first rigs from your videos. Now working 2nd feature. Thank you!

[@shanedemink2966]

Glad to see you back, man!

[@RSpudieD]

Simple and creative!!! Good thinking, Scott!

[@Hermanopepe]

I said to my mirror: Mirror mirror on the camera, who's the most handsome vlogger of the all. The camera said: You'd be the most handsome vlogger of them all if your videos were vloggs. Such a smart mirror!

[@NotAloneStudios]

Please don't leave us again. I'm so happy to see DIY filmmaking again compared to the camera and gear salesmen.

[@frugalfilmmaker]

To be totally transparent, I do use affiliate links, but I get what you're saying. Most the stuff I use (and link to) is pretty cheap.

[@indfilmsus]

Welcome back. Nice to see you back.

[@AntonioCamunas]

He returns!!

[@monstermorguetutorials3139]

So cool. Nice to see you back.

[@FullSpectrumSurvival]

Long time no see. Hope to see more from you soon

[@dallasdandigitalproduction393]

Nice rig. All your hacks are great diy setups. I hope you're doing well during COVID crisis sir

[@BillWinterberg]

Welcome back!

[@Uninen]

Nice to see you back! :)

[@sunpy7908]

This level of frugal is what I live for

[@SoundSpeeding]

You're BAAAAAAAACK!! :-D Long time missing on KZbin, hope there will be many more uploads coming in 2020 :-)

[@antonarenko3242]

Genius idea!!! Such a pain running back and forth to check frame.

[@GaelLevelComments]

omg is this really you? is it christmas already? my birthday?

[@frugalfilmmaker]

Happy Birthday!

[@rickh6963]

Never even thought of putting a mirror behind the camera, awesome! So, does this mean we are going to see regular content? I sure hope so! But if we only get you until you go back to other projects it's good to get some more frugal tips!

[@frugalfilmmaker]

I'm shooting for every Monday. Hopefully something useful to start off your week.

[@rickh6963]

@@frugalfilmmaker "I don't like Mondays" is no longer a thing!! :)

[@MileyonDisney]

I'm guessing from the outdoor scenes that you're still in Alaska?

[@frugalfilmmaker]

How can you tell? 😀

[@MileyonDisney]

@@frugalfilmmaker Your wearing a jacket, probably in this time of year. There's a ton of wood stacked up by the house. There appears to be water damage around the bottom of the house - probably from snow buildup. A car drove by with Alaska plates. And in the far background, I see the sign that says, "Welcome to Alaska!" Well, half of that may be true.

[@frugalfilmmaker]

@@MileyonDisney Some good detective work there.

[@MileyonDisney]

@@frugalfilmmaker Thanks. Wasn't really looking for it - it was just so obvious. My next concern is - are you and the wife still together? When you first moved, the prospect didn't look too good. And how is Sparky? He must be quite the young man now.

[@mobileprofessional]

This approach should also be adopted by smartphone vloggers who want to take advantage of the higher resolution rear facing camera.

[@vinnii3065]

This video is a life saver

[@IAmAnAlbatross...]

did the same better way on my a6000 by mounting the mirrors directly on camera screen. concept is same but its removable, light weight, very portable. KZbin comments should have picture share mode. talks apart good to see you & don't fly away fom the channel without any notice for so many days. 😂😂😂♥️🇮🇳

[@IAmAnAlbatross...]

I used 2mm aluminium plates and 2mm mirror glass x2, smallest hinze that I found x4

[@frugalfilmmaker]

I did try that idea originally, but it wasn't very sturdy and it only works on certain kinds of cameras. Glad it's working for you!

[@IAmAnAlbatross...]

@@frugalfilmmaker yes it didn't at first because of the hinze. But later I replaced the hinze pins with screws which I got from old dvd writer or hdd I can't remember with little mod and tightened it to hold the folds. made U type shaped claws to hold it with screen

[@shellbell2796]

AMAZING! 👏 👏 👏 👏 Bravo!

[@BiggCleve2]

Good to see ya

[@MyJuancho2010]

usted es demasiado INGENIOSO...lo felicito,me encantan sus videos..

[@rozzembi7318]

Thank God for flip screens. Hahaha

[@qiljoh]

I also been thinking about this trick before but hard finding suitable mirror

[@iskorostensky]

This is such a hassle! but, thank you!

[@kenbest7660]

Awesome!

[@TheaterJunkie]

What dash microphone did you use? Its great

[@frugalfilmmaker]

Dash microphone? For this video I'm using an Aspen lav mic going into a Zoom H1 Handy Recorder.

[@TheTinaLoren]

Love that idea but I could never make that. 😢

[@rickh6963]

Scott, where you at? I hope us not hearing from you means you are working on a film. How about a quick update?

[@frugalfilmmaker]

Working on both! Hope to have something this week that brings everyone up to date.

[@kianotesyt9392]

Did you used a magnet? Nice video though!

[@kianotesyt9392]

Or a adhesive tape to put the screw mount on the mirror m

[@whothetechknows]

Great video! I am going to try it! Thanks "theFrubalFilmaker"

[@DonaldWMeyers-dwm]

Would those ball heads be able to support a speedlight and wireless receiver? I'm thinking about making flash mounts for my PVC light stand, (which I built from your plans).

[@frugalfilmmaker]

I wouldn't those ball heads for anything that heavy. Go for the larger versions and you should be fine. I detail those more in my rig parts video.

[@DonaldWMeyers-dwm]

Thanks.

[@DonaldWMeyers-dwm]

I listened to you and found a four-pack of ballheads rated for six pounds on eBay for less than $8. It's a bit of overkill, but at least the rig's secure.

[@snocrushr]

👍👍

[@shiznuts]

Kasey 'cameraconspiracies' been using a mirror hack too.

[@frugalfilmmaker]

I just checked out his channel, due to your comment. That guy is hilarious!

[@shiznuts]

@@frugalfilmmaker Yeah, he's definitely part of the camera goof troop here on YT! Good fun! I missed the good ol' DIY days, I got to say! The PVC rigs. 😄 Pivoting your tripod around 2 of its legs to fake a jib shot. Work lights as photography lighting. Consumerism has people buying solutions rather than thinking creatively and out of the box and come up with your own (though, myself included, not gonna lie). Especially in these times it's good for people to realize that broken things can be fixed rather than be replaced and issues might have creative solutions! Cheers!
