[QUOTE="TIF, post: 4636137, member: 56859"]I've tried a few in-hand videos. As [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER] points out, having clean hands with trimmed nails and cuticles is a good idea. My hands are always a bit beat up... chapped, callused, etc... so I'm not that happy with the videos. I could've done more than just clip my nails too but I'm not keen on manicures and such. For these videos I affix the phone to something stable. It's still very difficult to move the coin in a non-jerky and pleasant way. One of these days I'll rig up a better system. Maybe a black platform resting on somewhat loose ball joint would be good. The platform could be moved smoothly with hands (with calluses, ragged cuticles, and dirty fingernails) out of sight. You could get fancier and have it motorized but that's probably overkill :D.
