Is there a device which would let me attach a Canon or Nikon DSLR to a video camera?

Is there a device which would let me attach a Canon or Nikon DSLR to a video camera?

Right now I have a Nikon D90 but I have access to a Canon 7D if that is easier to attach.

The video camera is a canon hfs20.

I would like to attach these two cameras and shoot both photographs and video/film @ the same time at a prom event so as to not miss anything.

Thanks in advance!

Gaffa tape..?

Seriously, still cameras and video cameras will move in very different ways - I can't see how ganging them together will get you usable/watchable video *and* give you the flexibility to take great shots unless your subjects are very static.


Stick the video camera on a tripod, and take the stills yourself - or better yet, get a second person to run the other camera...

I think that constant shutter sound from the DSLR might be undesirable on the audio. Not sure exactly how loud the D90 or 7D gets.

Something that I have seen a semi-pro wedding photographer/videograp​her do was set two video cameras on tripods, and then walk and photograph. Occasionally he would go and change the angles or placements of the video cameras. But I thought that his work was substandard.

Might be better to hire an assistant to operate the video camera for you?????

I will be on the dance floor as well us up and down stairs and shooting from the balcony on down over the dance floor in the old play house. I will be walking amongst in the reception area and on the dance floor so can't use a tripod a whole lot. Would rock to shoot video & stills at the same time. Seems it would be easy to mount a small video camera on a DSLR or vice versa? Any gadgetry for this? Thanks!! & I would still like 2 use the flash now and then. Thanks!

thanks for that! pretty funny hahah.

but seriously now "Is there a pro device which would let me attach a Canon or Nikon DSLR to a video camera?"

doubt it. but Im almost positive you can sort of set up what you want using "L" brackets and various random pieces of hardware. not that I recommend you taking still and video at once...
