Hello everybody!

I have been watching some videos on youtube, and some people have recorded it from the head of there guitar, like the guitar where the tuners are looking down the strings, it look really cool!

And i was wondering if anyone could tell me a tutorial on how to do it porfavor (please :)?

Thank you very much! x



Answer
I have used helmet cams, but eventually I got a fairly cheap "pinhole board camera" from a company that markets to security and Law Enforcement. It is the camera only, and needs to hook up to a camcorder or digital video recorder to record.

I put mine into a waterproof Nalgene bottle. I have used it on my kayak, ski-cam, bike-cam, and for external close shots of vehicles (like a tire angle) anything where I don't want to risk my good camera.

Here is a link to the security supplier, maybe just get one of their "Lipstick cams", all are pretty light. The nice thing with a pinhole, it will be in focus from a few inches in front of the camera to infinity.

Is there any camcorder with interchangeable Lens under 1K?

possibly c-mout?


Answer
Kind of!

C-Mount cameras are mostly used in cheap-moderately priced CCD cameras for security systems. Problem is these rely on external recorders.

This system actually has some advantages. The cameras can be very small and mounted remotely to the recorder. I have used this system on Kayaks, Skis, and for numerous vehicles for external shots.

Good cameras are in the $300 range. And good card based, battery operated, pocket sized DVRs start at about $300. Take a look here for some ideas:
