advice on doing videos of calculator operations

Quote:Unbelievable – a Velbon VS-3 from the late Seventies

Yeah, my daughter was born in 1979 and I decided to invest in a good 35mm camera and tripod at that time. I forget the camera model number, but it was a Nikon SLR, probably a low-end one. I took many great pics over the years with that setup.

Quote:In your initial post you said you are going to use a DSLR

I misspoke. I've been very happy with this Fujifilm camera, however, and my wife loves it. I bought it specifically because it uses good old AA batteries and has an old-fashioned viewfinder, but I find myself using the LCD screen most of the time.

I hadn't considered that, but you're right. If I get this stand I'll have to do some experimenting. I've only done a couple of videos in the past and would like to do one more, and I'm not sure I want to go to the expense of buying this for a one-time use.
