I tried various ways to attach the cam to the bow tip. No dice, it has a usb cable that while long enough, changes weight on the tip. Very hard to control, and I did not want to damage the bow tip. I did have it attached to the bow near the frog, but it was difficult to get my hand in there. I was left with attaching it to my index and middle fingers. When I bowed quickly, the microphone picked up some wind noise and the noise of it shifting slightly on my hand. I think it was a riot the way the sound ebbed and flowed. Maybe I could do one on a revolving desk chair, or maybe I could quit screwing around and make my Christmas Project video!

It would need to be a small "lipstick" camera. Self-contained with a non marring clamp that is slightly adjustable. I would love to have it mounted just below mid bow, where you could see that point cross the strings and continue past the violin. The usb cable is a bit cumbersome and adds weight. My other handheld digital video camera is way to heavy for a bow cam. I was going to cut back and forth between camera shots, but "windows movie maker" is a bit weak. I have another program on my home built computer called Pinnacle Studio 10. It is much more powerful, better transitions, like crossfade. Easier to cut and paste clips together.
