thinking about setting up a gopro 11 mini inside a bottle or bag because the best way to shoot is by looking on your phone abd being completely not interested in your surroundings. But actually you’re checking the focus of your deired object rather than checking your mails. What do you think?
I had a similar setup years ago with a camcorder in my bag and holding my phone close to it pretending to read sth. But I was zooming and targeting with my cam. Worked like a charm. Nobody would suspect you to film anything.
Only disadv with gp11 is that there is no optical zoom. But it could be hidden in a small everyday thing.
best would be a gopro hidden in a back pack so you turn your back towards your target and control the cam with your phone. this is so simple. nobody would just notice you being there. looks like you just don‘t care. best cover!
I use a go pro inside a coffee Cup with a hole drilled out. Perfect no one suspects a thing and you can always cover the hole with hand in a jam. Was caught probably 2-3 times with this set up. They looked directly in the hole and I’m assuming saw the lens reflection. But those shots I love the most. Especially when they tell their friends and then their friends looks.
I’d love to see a tutorial on how to set up a duffle bag with just the lens showing. Is there some sort of step-by-step tutorial for those of us who have zero handy skills?
i used to put my old iphone 8 in a shopping basket and stuff it with similar colored items to my phone case which was red. got real good shots back then. i was also stimming on addy and felt less paranoid to do so. im off it for awhile and cant muster the courage to returns.
but youre right— the best way to record is by not caring and using your phone as a distraction from your actual recording device
