Camera Setup For Bass View While Performing

in Discovery-it8 days ago

This post will feature my current camera rig. I want to record performances. I want to hear it well/BETTER and almost isolated.

I once had a GoPro. A nice person gave it to me. It was old and yet highly functional. The battery went bad after a year or two. The GoPro eliminated several devilish details related to recording my performances. Currently, the GoPro is out of commission and I probably just need to find a new battery for it.

The camera mount for it lives on.


I added a few segments/elbows to the base of the GoPro.

These extra joints are good for my new my camera holder to latch onto.


The final piece is this phone holder.

It’s grip/clamp is excellent at holding securely to the GoPro attachments. The clamp part of this phone holder looks like it was designed for a pole.


After using it for some time I noticed the logo.

It’s a guitar. This thing was made to clamp onto a music stand. I was doing that for a while, remember? We didn’t really like it that much, remember? 😂


All together now.

Every videographer and gynecologist’s dream tool.

For me, it’s the ultimate, most convenient, lowest maintenance recording device.

The screen will be facing away from me.

This is a double edged sword. I should be able to see everything in frame, but the fisheye lens/wide angle lens only functions on the front camera.

Yep, recording everything‘s gonna be a piece of cak…. oh shit… my phone battery is way way way … way past it’s prime.

I’ll tackle that when I get there.





Thanks for the support.

Thanks for the counter votes also.

How can we better waste that spammer‘s resource credits?

That's one way to do it. Does it get some odd looks from people? I see some people mount the camera on the headstock for some fun effects.

It probably gets a lot of strange looks now because people can see a little screen. In the past, it was just a little GoPro box and it wasn’t as obvious.
I like that perspective you mentioned also. However, I don’t like it for stage/performances. I try to avoid adding tuners and cameras and extra little things on the headstocks. One, I think it’s a little distracting. More importantly, it throws off the balance of my already poorly balanced instrument. My Fender Jazz Bass deluxe has a slight neck dive. The camera near the back creates a perfect balance. 🙃
