DIY CONCERT RECORDING CAMERA SETUP USING GOPRO AND 6D

Well, here was an interesting camera setup.  I was trying to record a concert and get it done with one camera operator (me) with more than one camera. Two camera viewpoints equals visual variety!  I attached a GoPro to the hot shoe of my Canon 6D DSLR.  The GoPro covered the wide angle view of the scene in front of me and the 6D handled the medium close up shot.  I, of course, shot this lovely contraption with the camera on my cell phone.  Technology is indeed a wonderful thing.

YOUROCK MIDI CONTROLLER GUITAR

Here is a Yourock guitar acting as a midi controller for the Akai Miniak synthesizer.  The note tracking is very accurate and the ability to play polyphonic chords is awesome!  The Yourock guitar can be had for $250.00 on Amazon.  Controlling midi equipped devices is the Yourock's strength.  It also has its own built in instrument sounds but they are limited and rudimentary.  I do like the 12 string guitar simulation though!  A very cool product.
