This video shows the shaving mirror technique that I used to do solo recordings:
Jeff,
Why don’t you pitch Canon to see if you can get a T3 for nuthin. Show them the stats from your sites and what you’re doing. I’m sure it would be worth it for them. Or maybe show them amazon affiliate links from your website to convince them that your mention/endorsement will generate sales. I’ll take your old one since you won’t be needing it. 😉
@ Beth
That video is a bit dated because we do have the T3i now. We were able to sell our old one and use the proceeds to basically upgrade for free.
I wish we could be Amazon affiliates but unfortunately we live in IL which got kicked out of the program. 🙁
Good, then. Tech question, did you embed that video yourself or did a plugin do that?
