Wall-mount boom arm set up for GoPro/iPhone ...etc

[Sam CA]

For overhead keyboard recordings, I used to use a GoPro mounted on a standard mic stand. It's a struggle to get it right. Even then the slightest movement would mess up the shot. I looked around for a better solution and found this awesome wall-mounting boom arm. Finally I'm able to get that tripod off the floor! I had this extra iPhone X. I'm getting almost identical video quality from both iPhone X and GoPro, so decided to mount the iPhone permanently. As long as I don't move the keyboard (which I never do), I'll be able to just sit down and record. I can even use an adapter to mount the GoPro for a second overhead angle, but that would be an overkill for what I do.

 

In case if anyone's interested, I'll post a few pictures with Amazon links.

If you'd like to use your smartphone, there's a ton of iPhone holders with tripod adapter/screws that can be mounted on this boom arm. Such as this one:
