Flip Jig

In preparation for some video posts showing how I draw my cartoons, I thought I’d show how I’ve rigged a swing arm lamp, minus the bulb and shade, with a flexible rubber tripod for a Flip digital camcorder. The articulated legs of the tripod wrap around the head of the lamp and hold the camera in place very securely. The arm of the lamp has a couple of tension knobs that lock it in place right over my drawings.

If you’re familiar with the Flip, you can see the camera is upside down relative to the drawings, but I’ll be using iMovie to edit and rotate the video so that it appears right side up.
