This is brilliant! I'm surprised no company has manufactured a consumer overhead filming kit yet. creatives like us keep having to experiment with bits n bobs from other hardware & accessories

Thank you!! I've always envisioned the best way for me to record was a setup like this, but I simply have so little knowledge of photography equipment that I had no idea where to start! While a bit of an investment I can't afford right now, I'll definitely be pursuing this in the future! Thanks Again!

does the camera setup shake when you draw on the table? I have a very stable table, but whenever I pick new pens, the camera shakes a bit, since everything that holds the camera is on the table. I figured out, the best way is to have a shelve or another desk or anything around the table, where one could place the tripods, holders or whatever one is using.

Thanks! It has helped me a lot. Got these and my setup is now simple and well working.

I've watched many overhead filming setups and this is hands down the best one. Thanks for all the tips!

Omg. I have searched high and low and this is literally what I have been looking for. Thanks. I already have the newer lights so it will be so easy to do this

Hi, any suggestion on what extension pole to buy? Thanks for the tutorial!

You can use Samson's mic arm MBA38 for dslr. I have one for my Canon M6 and some times I'll put a T2i in it. They hold pretty good.

Hey, great video! Do you think this setup supports a Canon (80D) a little bigger than your Sony? Also, which of the two Clamps do you think is stronger? The individual or the double one? I'm going to do one of these for myself and I have this doubt! Thanks (:

[danielleortiz]

Awesome video!! How would you add lighting to that? Like a ring light?

Hi, Yes I have a question, it is probably basic but I really don't know the answer so here I go:
At the end of your video you mentioned that you had your camera and your phone put up adjacent to each other for the shot so that you would shoot down where your hands are but then you would have at set up where you can also move to talk directly into the camera with your your cell phone camara. My question is how do you get those two shots the one that's going directly down and the one that is your full face on facial shot on to the same edited video?
I hope that makes a lick of sense. I super appreciate you! Your set up is brilliant I love that you put do much thought into it and I hope you can help me overcome my obstacles as well! Peace!

Hi Ian. I clicked through on your Kit link and I love that profile you've got on Amazon with the banner and everything. How did you do that please? 🙂

[auroreboreale]

thanks for the tips!
I wanted to use the cloths hanger, but your idea is more... portable 😁

I'd like to thank you Ian for this video. I just used your affiliate links to purchase much of what you used here on Amazon. Figuring out the gear has been a challenge and this video was very helpful, so I'm happy to send a few affiliate dollars your way! Amazing lettering, by the way. I'm a realist artist getting started in the tutorial world and always shy away from anything with lettering. It's funny that I can make a scene or portrait look realistic, but have never been good with lettering. It is an art all unto itself and you make it look easy. Thanks for the content!

Damn 🔥 This is by far the best solution i've seen for overhead filming!
My setup consists of a GoPro and a mic stand, its very versatile - i also bring the same setup for when im out during murals 🎨 For the moment i'm pleased with it, but when i decide to upgrade to a heavier camera, i'm definitely gonna copy your setup - Thank you so much for sharing! <3

This is really helpful, thanks, especially the 'solutions' that didn't work. 🎉
