how tall is it? Will I be able to film a wide shot of a person walking or a close up of someones face while walking?

I've used it little but so far a smooth surface would be optimal. The wheels themselves move around like a shopping cart, unless you know of a way to lock them in one direction.

This is just a dolly on wheels, on which you base and fix tripod. The tripod is sold separately and quite tall to do what you want, especially if you mount it on dolly. however, don't count on it to be super smooth. unless your cam has super steady stabilisation system the end result will be shaky. so in sum, get a pro steadycam if you want to film someone while moving the camera.

I am away from my cameras for a few more days, but my guess is that the camera is approximately 6 inches tall and the base is approximately 4 inches across.

Hey bob,The camera has a dynamic focus that I am pretty sure can take close shots, but not that close. This particular lense will take average distances from say 3-5" (do not have the specifics) to scenery. The only issue that I do not like about this camera is that the flash has a slight design flaw, sometimes when you use the flash the lens will shadow the lower portion of your picture. The camera in general is awesome, slight that small detail. You can check a little more expert opinion in dpreview (google it). They can give you more specs of the camera. Good luck!

I was in the same boat with you guys, but after reading everything I could find on camcorders for several hours I finally purchased the Canon M30. The deciding factor aside from great features and a good price ($399.00) was the size and weight of the camera. Product Dimensions: 2.4 x 2.7 x 4.9 inches ;13.4 ounces (11.3 w/o battery pack and SD card). I travel often and don't like to lug around heavy gear. This tiny camera will fit in my shirt or pants pockets so there will be less of a chance of losing or misplacing it when I need two hands and a shoulder strap is not an option. I can get 32 gig memory cards pretty cheaply which for me translates to unlimited storage and filming. For me it's a win win situation.

If the selfie is stationary, any mount will be fine. Set it, aim it (see where it's aimed with the phone app) and snap it - with the phone app. Easier yet - the GoPro 3-Way Arm is a monopod, among other things. You can attach the GoPro to it and bend the arm in such a way as to be able to hold the phone out in front of you and snap the picture (without the arm being seen). Great for walking around video of yourself - interview style. To the viewer it would appear you have a cameraperson in front of you backing up as you walk.

I would say the camera is about 3 to 4 inches long in the body about 2 inches in diameter and the base is probably another inch and a half to 2 inches with the swivel it's also probably about 2 inches in diameter.

You have to be really close to what you're taking a picture of. Like 1cm away if not less.

It seems to work OK with my cameras. fwiw I have found that the best 3d effect is in a range of about 3/5 feet to 20/30 feet from the object being filmed. Beyond 60/100 feet the 3d effect while there is not nearly as pronounced and does not add much, for me at least, to the 3d feel. Filming in 3d I have found is very different from filming in 2d, at least if one wants the 3d effect. (This may also be partially accentuated with the Go Pro due to the extremely wide field of vision. I have NOT filmed with other 3d camera set ups, only the Go Pro)

about 11.5 inches max--that's of course without any camera on it. Hope that helps.

I was close.. It measures out at 2 1/4" x 3 3/4". It's a pretty basic camera, but it seems to do the job. I hope this helps.

Do you know if this camera has a tripod mount? Would you recommend it for use in recording a lecture type presentation involving person standing infront of white board writing? Does it have zoom? is the zoom good quality?

approximately 10ft. It's a really cool gadget for the camera and great for group photos.

Hi, The height of the monopod exceeds the height of the tripod. It allows the camera to be at eye level (or below) and I am 6 feet tall. The best feature is that it has a very sturdy mount and allows a very fast assembly. The pistol grip is kind of lame, but for the price a great value.

It is too wide for your wall. The cross pole though comes in small sections and I suppose you could leave one out and trim the screen down. Even at 10 feet wide though I found that it was a little to narrow. Bottom line is that you may be able to make it work but it is not designed that way. Additionally you may find that 8 foot is not enough to record. in. Start by setting up your area as you would like to have it. Now set your camera up were it would go. Now imagine the huge lights...Is there enough room for the camera to focus in on you without also filming the lights or edges of the wall. Good luck It is too wide for your wall.

No. It is also very short to begin with, about 5'5, but the movement on the head is nice when using something like a DSLR.

I use it this way on Sony E-mount (APS-C size sensor) but for micro 4/3 like Panasonic GH2 the field of view might be a little too narrow for what you describe. It would take excellent shots of people and probably faces, but typically not great for more than a couple people inside or entire buildings outside.
