Hi all.
I'm getting ready to throw up some educational videos and I'm using my iPhone 4s to shoot the video. First time doing this.
I've come across a challenge. The room my drums are in that we use to record is not very big. It holds the drums along with mikes for some recording and a music stand so that's no issue.
However in trying to position the iPhone mounted on a tripod, I can't seem to get a wide enough angle to capture me playing without part of the view being cut off. I have to move the tripod outside of the drum room with the sliding glass door open to get enough angle. This of course defeats the purpose of having them in the drum room for sound isolation (want to be cool with the neighbors).
I wanted to see if anybody had had a similar situation and what they did to solve it.
I could try to mount the camera face down from the ceiling but that at the very least is a pain and might not even work.
Any ideas?
Jim
