I have seen many metal detecting videos in which the detectorist has problems with
the camera for shooting the video or just taking a pic if he is alone at the fields.
I myself has had this problem.There are available these camera 3 standing feet.But they are at most
6 inches perspective over the ground surface.This gives not the best desired angle for detailed
photos/videos. Some use a camera harness at the chest ,on the head or even on the MD
itself .But the best is achieved IMHO when the camera stays in a not movable ,steady position
and at an angle as high as possible from the ground,say some 30 inches high... .
Therefore I just thought of mounting the camera on a "T" handle shovel . If you use a long shovel,place it
upright in the ground ,mount the camera on the shovel's end and you will have the right angle
and focus over the digging spot.This is what I would do next time at the fields...
