So, some time ago my sister sent me a nice gorillapod-- it's a small, flexible-leg camera tripod that grips onto almost any surface. As time and interest permits, I've tried mounting the video camera onto my violin in various ways and captured some YouTube worthy media. Below is how it is done!

I attached the gorillapod to the camera and mounted the camera to the far end of my violin by wrapping its tripod legs around the scroll. Because this camera doesn't have a convenient flip-out view-finder, I just faced a mirror and adjusted the camera's angle such that my fingerboard was the focus and my face was not.
