The other day, at work we were making a commercial and decided to shoot "top down". So in this video, I go through two ways in which you are able to get a nice look while shooting top down.

Good setup! I usually use a c-stand with an arm to get my over head shots but the arm wobbles. Ill try your tripod idea!

Do you have any other tips for lighting? What are some lighting kits(arrangements)you would recommend for shooting top down food videos if I don’t have a flood light or any lighting equipment and am looking into getting something? Thanks for the great video!

I don't think my tripod will invert the center arm like that. Do all tripods do that? How do you know if it will before purchasing?

Thanks for sharing, I have a home decor account and when I am trying to use cap cut to remove background and replace it . The whole object is the reels get removed. Cap cut is good at removing background of person but not with objects. If you have any solution please teach us.
