I was encouraged to post a vid in the Introductions forum, and so I pulled an excerpt from yesterday's practice to show how I'm using the visual media. In this, I placed the camera so that I could keep an eye on the bow stroke. I already see the next angle I want, elbow... GoPro not known for its sound quality- (and neither am I, yet! haha) sorry 'bout that! Not really what I'm after anyway in these "practice" vids...
hope this works!

Any kind of a video camera is very handy in practice.
The popular "traditional" recommendation is a full length mirror, but I think a lot of that is because video cameras weren't available at the time.
Video can be viewed with your full attention after playing, rather than needing to divide your attention while playing, and a camera can see things from a lot of angles that it might be awkward to position a mirror for.
