AlexR Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 I though a webcam,but wasnt too sure what the quality would be like.I don't own one,so could borrow one and give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexR Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 I use my digital camera. I have a digital SLR but it does not have a video function.I have been browsing the net looking at cheap cameras but the quality varies so much.I am going to borrow a webcam and have a go with that,if I can use the laptop,I can film it in the bathroom,as I believe this is the best place to film gripper closes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They take those small SD cards, only hold up to 16GB, but they are small, portable and cheap. Roughly $100USD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to be honest I had only looked at mid quality stuff,thinking anything lower could not be clear enough,youtube is full of blurry videos. Will take a look at the cheaper stuff.

Cannon Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I use my digital camera. It has a macro setting for video that takes a clear video from about 6-12 inches away. Otherwise it's blurry. The macro setting doesn't handle movement as well, however. But I can usually get a good still even if my hand was shaking around. It's a Canon PowerShot SD750 and there are newer versions available. Inexpensive camera and does a good job. I do wish it had one feature and that is the ability to focus during a video. It only has a fixed focus. Once you start the video, that's it.

Legendofjd3 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I think if you spent about $150 on a nice digital camera that would be plenty. Canon of Nikon seem to have the best close up features. Most do have the macro feature for close ups. Another idea which has not been mentioned here, but you might already know about, is to use a dark crayon and fill in the lettering on the bottom of the CoC (or any grippers) handle. This allows the camera to focus a little better and the numbers show up better on replay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autolupus Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Thanks for all the advice.I am going to attempt to film a MMS 3 close this weekend. Try a few clips with a very light gripper just to get the feel without wasting energy, once you've sorted the whole spacial awareness thing and ironed out any niggles( setting hand obscuring set, hand and gripper wandering of camera) then you'll be better set for getting a good #3 close on vid.

Shoggoth Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I didn't notice it said yet on this thread but typically a bathroom will have the best lighting as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
