Got myself a headstock camera

Post by Freethenoise »

And here's the hilarious results!

Don't ask me why but I was feeling pretty metal today, hence the bad taste filled chugging.
Good fun to mess around with, I'd like to bring one to a gig.

Yeah, it did come out better than I expected considering it was a cheapie camera fixed to an old headstock tuner.
It's really cool for those Dweezil Zappa moments, plus I find my vibrato funny to watch.

That was freaky, everything's moving but the guitar.

Is it just a clip-on webcam?

In any case it might be interesting to point it at the floor or ceiling, maybe not as cool but you might come up with a few interesting shots.

It's a cheap Gopro knock off I got for about $60 that I taped to a head stock tuner.
