Here's a picture of my original Zoom H4 in a similar config, which works well with it too. I tape the lyrics/chord chart so they don't look down. In the picture below the front leg of the tripod is between his legs, and about 1" from the chair (it's a cheap little Sam's Club $20 tripod which easier to carry and store than a mic stand). This is for audio recording not video.
I monitor it with earbuds to dial it in, and then I just leave it alone and record.
I have tried recording with it pointed straight on, but angled from the top gets a better sound/balance for me.
Hope this adds to the discussion…

I've got a camera tripod like that one..The H2N will screw to the top so I should be able to raise it and point it down with no problem..
I'll try this and then try the different mic settings...
I appreciate guys
