Makeshift Video Recording Studio

I'm super excited about this one.  
Check it out!
I have been looking for a way to record my "how to videos" in my little studio.  Up until this point, I have had to set up additional tables, move around the house, adjust and re-adjust the tripod...(no fun), even move to an outside location just to get the best lighting.  It was so much of a hassle that after my first batch of videos...I laid the whole thing down...just tabled the idea for a season.
Then today, after feeling a bit heavy...the Lord showed me this idea...
For my son's 9th birthday (3 years ago!) we bought him a really nice drum set.  We were so excited! He wanted one so badly, we, I had to get it for him...
Well to our, my surprise, he used it all of maybe two times before he wasn't interested in it any further.  Bummer!  I took it down and put the drum pads in the closet, leaving the frame on the side of his desk folded neatly in the corner....never looked at it again...never thought about it again...never dusted the thing...(smiles) 
Until...
Today!
And Now Look!
I used my Gorilla Pod to connect my camcorder and sat the frame perfectly on my work table.
Completely adjustable (without hassle)!
Out of the way...
Great lighting...
I can stand or sit...
And by Golly...the perfect angles are achievable...without breaking a sweat!
C'mon now....how cool is that?

What a clever idea! I have not yet been brave enough to try a video, maybe someday I will borrow my sons recorder and give it a try.
