DIY Zoom Lense for your Pocket Camcorder

 

If you shoot video with a small pocket camcorder you might wish you could get some depth of field like you can get from a DSLR. Dan Colvin sent in his latest project that solves that problem with a pair of cheap binoculars and a home made bracket. The binoculars held up to the small lens of the camcorder gives you the depth of field that you have been wanting! Dan provides a template here so you can make your own bracket for your camera. If you want to see the results of the addition have a look at the first video here.
