Adding a small plastic convex mirror to the front of your video camera will allow you to see if you are centered in the frame when filming yourself. The mirror also makes some people more comfortable while they are being videotaped.
Adding a mirror is a very quick, simple and low cost film making project.
I used this particular mirror as it was rectangular and provided the most coverage of the field of view for the camera as opposed to the common round mirrors, but there is no reason you can't use the round mirrors too and you won't have to cut them. You will have to remove the mirror from the plastic case with a razor or knife so the mirror will lay flat as it is angled in the case.
 Thanks for watching. I have a playlist of low cost video making on my channel and add new videos weekly
