How does everyone film/take pics of themselves?
Seems like everyone is posting pics and and vids, and they’re all AMAZING. MY question is… what do you use? I can’t imagine you all were naturally born with superamazing cameras or phones and perfect places to actually put up your video recording devices. My only pic had to be a selfie in which I climberd with the camera in my hand… But I would like to correct that and maybe start spamming the universe with my vids too =3
So… how about taking a reverse pic? From the pole, take a pic of your habitual filming setup! I think it would be cool, AND I can get some inspiration!

I actually have a camera and tripod I bought a while back for recording stuff for my YouTube channel (not pole related). Now it’s doing double duty but the tripod isn’t quite as tall as I need so I set the tripod up on top of a table, LOL.

I’m with tblue, I have a real video camera (not a phone, and not a still camera that has a “video” mode) and the tripod on the table!

I normally use either my phone or my iPad. I place them on high chairs, books or yoga blocks (or any combination of those 3 things). I do have a camera with a tripod that can record video but extracting it and posting it is kind of hard so I don’t use it very often. I’d love to buy a video camera for my pole videos but so far the phone camera has to do the job

I used to use my phone propped up with a cheap bendy tripod I got on ebay which was really good but limited, especially in small spaces. Then my lovely boyfriend got me a go pro for my birthday which is great for pole as it has a wide lens so I can get everything in much easier even though the camera is much closer! It doesn’t have a screen though haha so there is a lot or trial and error involved and it needs good light..cue several frustrating times where I filmed for ages and it’s rubbish footage ! So I spent practically a whole day last weekend filming my room from all different angles so now I know the best one haha. But yeah ever since I first starting filming in march it has taken me ages and ages to figure out how to get decent footage! It is definitely something u figure out as u go along =p I will take some pics of my setup when I get home .
ooooh ! And I just ordered a dash cam with night vision !! It was only cheap on one of those voucher sites so it probably won’t be amazing but I figured night vision might make some crazy pole vids hehe!! -
PoleKat, do you use the gopro phone app? Then your phone acts as the screen so you can see what youre filming!

Oh my god I love you !!!!!! I’ve never heard of that I’ll go look it up now !!!!! =D

I have the GoPro 3 Black or something and it works well with the app!

I have the gopro also, but sometimes I use my phone too if I just want some quick feedback in a specific trick. I have a little $10 clip on fisheye lens for it. The go pro is placed in the case it came in cuz it gives it like a 12 inch stand on too of a yoga block on top if a yoga block on too of a hat box >_<
