Recording Character Meets?

Hi there everyone, first post here so be kind to me muchlove

Me and my fiance are heading to Florida again in October, this will be my 6th visit, and I think his 12th. We've done some filming before but this time we're hoping to film our character meets.

There's only the 2 of us and we would both like to be in the video. We considered clipping the camera to a bag and leaving the bag to one side but we've had bags moved before so we scrapped this idea.

We were wondering if anyone has ever asked the 'handler' to hold their camera while they have their meet and greet. Obviously we'd press record and all they'd have to do is hold it and point it at us. But we don't want to have to ask and look stupid when they say no.

Many thanks for any advice x

They will take pictures for you with your camera so I don't see why they wouldn't video for you.

And welcome by the way!

I agree with Allie, I can't imagine that they wouldn't do that. Alternatively have you considered a small table-top tripod?

Thanks both for the replies. We did hope that seeing as they're willin to take photos they'd be willing to hold it for a video. We also considered a tripod but would rather not have anything extra to carry as we like to travel as light as possible in the parks. We're normally only money and camera carriers lol x
