Video Camera Extension Tool
Filed Under Tools for Vloggers
Funny thing - I had been thinking of something like this for a while, but I didn’t know if one existed or not: a video camera / camcorder extender tool. Well, I recently came across one from Xshotpix.com.
It allows you to get your camera out away from you so that your shot has a more natural perspective to it. Perfect for the solo vlogger, or even for two or more when both want to be in the shot.
The Xshot, as they call it, extends up to 37 inches and collapses down to a store-away size of 9 inches. It weighs 3.9 ounces.
Carrying one around, then, seems simple enough and worth the extra hassle if you plan on doing a fair amount of vlogging, or even regular picture taking.
Another good use, it would seem, would be for getting some otherwise unusual angles on things - such as overhead shots.
As of a recent visit to the site, the extender is selling for $24.95.
You can check them out at Xshotpix.com.
