Video recording first person unboxing

[juan71287]

Hi all. Searched Google for a video information forum and found this place. I want to do something I can't seem to figure out and looking for some help.

I am looking to make first person unboxing videos like the examples here:
https://youtu.be/J8TnvQrQr1A <-- best one exactly what I want.

As you can see in these videos it's like first person. I tried to do it with my camera "Samsung NX1" but I can't reach around it with comfort. Nor do I have space to reach and place the items down because the lowest zoom (standard normal) is way to close so I have to move the camera back and it just does not work.

I know it's a strange question and if you don't understand it, I'll explain it a bit more if possibly.

Thanks for the help.

Should be able to do that pretty easily. There are thousands of unboxing videos on YouTube. Use tripod with camera over your shoulder focused on your unboxing.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I have tried the camera behind me but my head is always blocking and my hands don't really show well in a comfortable position. Maybe I should try it again any more uncomfortable position to see if it works.

It looks like the camera is set on wide angle and directly in front of the person sitting down at about chest level, probably on a tripod.

Wide angle? Hmm. I will have to search if that's something my NX1 can do. Maybe I need another lense? I hope not cause I ran out of money

Lens I have "16-50mm f2-2.8 lens" as seen here: Samsung NX1 28.2 MP Wireless SMART Mirrorless Digital Camera with 16-50mm f/2.0-2.8 "S" Lens https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NFDZS10/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_7HVvxbD718542
