hello friend. I enjoyed your review! Do you have a question. When taking a video with AirPods and microphone at around 8:45, how can I set up the camera to shoot from a first-person perspective??? If you used a stand, I would appreciate it if you thought about the model!
Hi, thank you for your comment and for reaching out. I use a self-standing monopod (like Oben ACM-2400L with mini-legs and a tilt Monopod Head). It’s really compact and easy to setup. I place it near, almost touching, the edge of the table at a desirable height and angle down to capture pretty anything you see in this video. Let me know if you have any other suggestions, I’ll be happy to help if I can.
Hey, thanks for this video. I have a question though, how did you make the focus continuous, when you move around, it keeps latching focus. Mine is static, I need to press the shutter halfway then it focuses. I set my camera to AF-C, Responsiveness to 5.
Hi, thanks for your comment and reaching out. Hopefully you have the subject within the Focus Range Limiter; this is most important. Also try focus area in “Center Fix”. With these, let me know how it goes. If you've got all those settings dialed in and it's still hunting around and latching awkwardly, there could be a couple other things at play. Trying a focus-assist technique like assigning eye AF or setting a custom AF track frame over your subject can sometimes help. Low light levels can also confuse some autofocus systems.
Thank you so much for an excellent video. You're awesome!
Thank you for your comment, really appreciate it. I’m glad to have made this video, that this was helpful.

…for this video, I think I used “Zone” for the focus area. But you could also use “Center Fix”. Let me know, if this works.
