Hi,

 

   New to both Nikon and making videos in general. I had been using an iphone which allows you to photograph yourself by using the front camera. I want to do the same with my Nikon. I have seen youtube instructional videos that show the camera piled up on books. Obviously it would be hard to tell how my face would be framed even with books. I am not sure if I need a monitor. If so which monitor do I buy for a coolpix L810?

 

    Any  advice would be appreciated.

I think it has a fixed LCD so you cant turn it for you to watch while doing selfies,if that's the case you only have two choices, check the frame area and try to stay in it or connect to a TV/Monitor

 

Dont know if any of these cheap monitors would work.
