One idea that I am considering is buying an inspection mirror (which is what I discovered they are called). It's a small, swivelling mirror on the end of a telescoping handle. I could use that to peak around the back of the video camera without moving from my playing position.
Similarly, instead of a mirror on a stick, I could get a selfie stick and put my phone on it, in the fisheye selfie mode.
I also have a spare computer monitor around, so I could hook up a cable from the Zoom Q3HD's HDMI out to the monitor, but then the monitor would become part of the whole recording thing--yet another thing to plug into the wall. I started out with the idea of just the Q3HD and me, so nothing plugged in at all, then I added the mixer for the microphone, and portability and spontaneity go out the door.
Nice guitar, video, and playing, by the way!
