Front Face Vs Back Facing Camera For Vlog

We ordered the ceiling mount years ago, then wanted to clean up and center the front facing camera. All in, with the mounts, camera and cables dial HD camera's from a medium sized room for less than 1k. Good deal.

I did a couple tests with my iPhone 11 Pro. On one I was driving down the highway with the windows down doing 70 and did test recordings with the front facing camera and back camera with the built in iPhone mics and with the Rode VideoMic. First off, just using the built in mics, there is a bit of a difference depending on if you shoot with the front facing camera or rear camera. Neither of them were great when I did the highway test. On one of them I could barely hear my voice. Then I used the Rode mic with the dead cat that was included and I could hear my voice no problem. It provided very usable audio. Yes, there's still some background noise cause I'm going 70 with the windows down. But I was VERY impressed at how well it rejects sound that's not straight ahead. A solid shotgut mic for your iPhone for sure.

This is my walk around on camera lens for my 5D II. Why? Because when it is unfolding in front of my face, this gets it done. It is just a great lens and carried with a 70-200mm F4 IS USM I feel I am still light but can get most what I want done. Downsides? Not for me, not for how I shoot.

It's easy to buy any camera here and I like this camera for vlog

Camera has face recognition!

Excellent APC quality with the convenience of a front-facing USB port and display. Heavy duty.

Easy to set up, easy to use and came with a remote! I used this on 2 interviews that needed to be direct and front facing, Really helped the talent. I would recommend for any scripted interview shoot.

I was looking for a better way to use my old flash. For the moment, it only was useful on my hotshoe, but I didn't want to get front-facing flash. I was looking for a good length of cord and this Vello Off-Camera flash cord was exactly what I needed. Now I can take pictures where I can control where I want the flash. While it's no monolight or speed light, this run and gun method works great!

Its really nice to see a compact, clean design to give 3 additional ports. I especially like the front facing ports.

Lens hoods are great for protecting lenses, the Hood Hat, Mini is a nice little neoprene cover that cushions your lens hood. Highly recommend it. The Hood Hat Mini's home is on my sony zeiss 55mm 1.8 lens - I use it on the hood both front facing and rear facing. I also use it over the barrel - when un-hooded, when hood not in use. if using it un-hooded, keep in mind that It only covers the front 1/2 of the barrel. Imagine placing hood backward on your lens. That is the real estate it covers. Still, it acts as a nice little buffer, providing me with peace of mind, and the lens with a little protection from bumps. I like to cover all my gear with some type of neoprene cover and this one, as with all OP / TECH USA gear I've purchased so far, is perfect.
