Much better IMHO to have a foot switch to start/stop recording, have your camera preset in a rock-solid stable position, along with your lighting direction and angle (watch out for shadows from your head, jaw, chin, hair and/or ears) and use either a headset mic, throat or lapel mic, or even something like a Digital recording device (Zoom H2) comes to mind, depending on if you only want to project to the audience, or preserve audio/visual quality for a subsequent DVD production, sales and distribution.
Sounds a lot like juggling hand grenades and knives to me.
You will apparently be doing in situ work as you conduct these seminar/training programs and even though you wish to use your POV I believe you’re going to be loading yourself up with a LOT to have to focus on: holding the camera at an angle that coincides with the POV you perceive from your eyes remaining at a specific distance and framing conducting and thinking about your narrative doing the work you are presenting. You could incorporate a foot-pedal-style start/stop record device, leaving your camera at a specific angle and POV (point of view) set wide and close so focus and color/light variation would be minimized.įrom my experiences with head-mounted or body mounted gear, I find that there’s simply too much head movement to establish a steady and solid image.
Personally, rather than spend THAT kind of money, and rather than actually having a cigar/lipstick-style camera head attached to your own and tethered to a recording unit, you would experience much better stability and visual quality by setting up a basic lighting system and having a tripod or support system that parks the camera to your (right, left – from whichever side you customarily operate/work) do the shooting.
