This video was shot on a GoPro Hero 10 and a GoPro Hero 7 using a SNAP Mount on my microwave giving a great overhead shot of my cooking surface. SNAP Mounts are fantastic tools for some really interesting camera placement ideas. Check them out below. They can also be found on Amazon if you are looking to pick one up. This is not sponsored I just like the product.
