A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hi there ! So I have on my hands a sony a 7 II and I would like to film some tech videos. The gadgets i want to film would be standing on a table, I am absolutely clueless about what to pick and never used a cam before. What could I use for this ? A regular tripod that inclines 180 degrees ? A different type of stand ? Do I need to look into specific mounts ? Any help would be useful

What type of movement do you want to do? A gimbal will prob be your best option for movement, then a tripod for static shots.

But the best people to ask would be r/videography

There are Camera Stands, there are ways to mount cameras to walls or ceilings, and there tripods with reversible that let you mount the camera under the tripod or 90-degree columns that let you turn the column sideways to point down.
