Mine is a traditional tripod so the problem is how to set it in front of me and work at the same time. IXUS 175 quality is not good which was an unfortunate for me, zooming is crap and video is full of noise. I don't know what to do.
I thought of putting the tripod on the opposite side and make the camera point downwards, this is ok but I need to flip the final image and make sure everything is pointing flat to the camera especially multimeters.
The question is now, how to shoot videos of the whole working area? like showing me plus part of the bench (multimeters, breadboard, ...)? Also, writings on papers loose focus! I thought it will be easy, just put the camera and shoot but it turns out hard.
