How To Professionally Record Yourself On A Low Budget
A low budget in filming yourself can be difficult because you may not have any experience. If you want to pursue into it and want it to look professional, all you may need is a octopus tripod for your phone. With many years in filming, and using cheap products to profession, i can give you three reason why you should own this octopus tripod where you can film yourself wherever you go. It can be a video of you playing an instrument, singing, dancing, doing an adventures vlog, or maybe even if your going to get your funk on. My channel is mainly about audio, but i try to get more into video so i film for music videos or short films.
The first reason why you should purchase this is that is be used for your phone and can hold large phones and can also support normal camera. I own a canon xh a1, which i am mainly using to record at the time being. The canon wights 10.6 lb, but some octopus are capable to support it. I am not telling you to us it with large camera, but it can be used for other cameras such as canons or nikons. Now for the phone, all you do is lift this bad boy and pop it right in.
Now the second reason why you should get it is because it is only 10 inches with the phone holder detached. You can pretty much keep it in your backpack at all time. If you see good scene or location and want to filming yourself doing what you’re good at, then all you have to do is attach the phone on the tripod, put it at the position you want to film at and press record. Its that simple. If you set it up and film, it may only take around 10 minutes. Maybe you have some homework and you want to take a break and you can use the tripod for that break to get some filming done.
And the last reason is that they only cost $10 in America on Amazon. You dont have to buy any professional tripods. Tripod at a low cost is good enough and you can place it anywhere to film such as shelves, cars, stairs, and even on a pole and it still gets the job done. Now you may have to pay for shipping and handling unless if you have amazon prime, but a few extra bucks wont kill you, and these product can probably take you a long way.
Now that is three reason why you should purchase a octopus tripod and some hint of what you do when you film yourself. But if you want to give this a test, just take your phone and film yourself and you will realize how hard it is to do so. If you think there is a better tripods that is better and affordable, then let me know in the comments so I can give it look. But you can always get things done on a low budget in filming
