So I want to make a timelapse movie of me drawing, and I will be
drawing on paper on a table. I have a DSLR and I was wondering if you
knew about a good way to mount it above the paper?

I have two tripods and putting them on the table may be a bit
cumbersome but it's possible, but I don't seem to be able to zoom
out/move the camera far up enough without seeing the tripod in frame.
Not a huge problem per se, but I would prefer a mounting solution that
works without seeing it of course.

Any ideas?

What about using the paper mounted/pinned on the wall as your target?


Because, drawing on a paper pinned to a wall isn't very ergonomic


Drawing on an easel? Or architect's type drawing board?


I paint a lot and have done timelapse shots of that, which is easy
with any tripod of course. BUt drawing has to be done horizontally I'm
afraid.
