Just a super quick video this week showing how I created a really easy overhead rig for video with a GoPro. I've struggled in the past with how to make an overhead rig for video but since getting a GoPro and some new office furniture I have now figured out an easy way to make an overhead rig.

Enjoy, and I'll see you next time
