Boom Microphone Stand Converted to a Camcorder Stand for Hobby and Tutorial Videos.

If you do hobby videos or tutorials, you know how hard it is to get a great camera angle to show the work you are trying to demonstrate. We all had those time where we are struggling to even work around the camera, where you have a great angle, but your work suffers from the awkward set up.

 Watching other YouTube channels I finally got an idea on how to rig something up that was not too expensive and relatively easy to get the parts and put together. With the advent of the Go Pro and other action cameras, there so many great choices for camera mounts especially for handle bars. So that is why I mounted it on a boom microphone stand. The boom micro phone stand it tall enough when you are siting to view directly above you and your work.  Here is a video and a couple photos on how I rigged my new camcorder stand.

Hear are the links for the equipment I purchased on Amazon.

This is a photo where I eventually added a small length of threaded 3/4 inch PVC pipe with a couple caps to give the microphone holder more rigidity, for the tripod mount to hold on to, and a more finished appearance. 

The complete set up over a dining room table to give you a better perspective on how it looks and works. The microphone stand adjusts up and down.

 The boom extends and retracts on the top of the stand and you also adjust the angle here.
