Sneaky videoing

Its all legit.
Yes me trying something else out to photograph birds drinking

sory bit dark

Ok the idea was to video birds but watch and video via the computer monitor. that way I can watch and record without being seen.

So what I did was use a moman tabletop tripod fitted with a Manfrotto MVH400AH head. I now have that same head on my manfrotto brfreelive tripod to save having to swap heads over from one to the other
The camcorder is the Panasonic HC-X1500 +handle I also didn’t hav the microphone on as I didn’t want to pick up house noise . Then connecetd an HDMI cable from camcorder to monitor -used the mains power camcorder brick to powere it , also connected 3 mtr 3pin 2,5mm male to male cord from camcorder to trigger for start/stop +zoom.

now with this setup I can watch the birds feeding while behind the monitor as in video above

It works. pity a\bout the internet quality
