The GuitarCam mount is a camera mount that is attached to the headstock of a guitar in order to take photos and videos looking along the fretboard. It is good for video. Especially so now that the classic youtube pose of a man with no head playing three quarters of a guitar (with the rest out of shot)\u00a0 is getting so bit cheesy.<\/p>\n

The design is not mine, it comes from John Clarke of John Clarke Music<\/a>. In even the idea of the idea is not mine! I picked it up from another member of The Guitar Grounds<\/a> guitar forum. Nevertheless I did go to the trouble of actually building it this is what I’ve come up with.<\/p>\n

Having read John’s article once I built the mount from memory rather than the step by step guide. Unfortunately this means I rather overlooked the recommended length for the camera arm and as a result my arm is a little short. As you can see from the still picture below\u00a0 you can see too much background and not quite enough guitar. Fixing.it should be pretty easy and I have plenty of scrap wood lying around.<\/p>\n

Videos will have to wait until I’ve done the tweaks since the left hand it a bit too big when its near the nut. I’ll also have to brush up my timing a bit…<\/p>\n
