I’m probably posting this under the wrong topic, and for that I apologize in
advance… but can anyone recommend a suitable wireless camera for taking high
quality closeup videos or pics of their Lego MOCs? Preferably a camera small
enough to even fit inside of a MOC without the background or foreground coming
out all blurry and distorted. Thanks! —Jason

I was going to try this one but I believe the barrel's diameter is too large
to fit through doors. I keep forgetting to rent one to test. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1710470-REG/venus_optics_ve2414p_l_laowa_24mm_t14_2x.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smp=y&smp=y&smpm=ba_f2_lar&lsft=BI%3A514&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw28W2BhC7ARIsAPerrcKPD1ZA8lnT07yhAZ3iIhbIXAKu6QCjbULjBAsD1cD1bSjXgbeojpYaAv1FEALw_wcB

Oof! Thanks for the suggestion! However, that one a little out of my price range.
So instead of “high quality” let’s just say “decent quality” closeup videos and
pics. Nothing fancy. Doesn’t have to be professional grade.

There are definitely cheaper options out there that are dedicated lipstick cameras.
I still dabble with stock photography so my brain sticks with DSLR stuff.

I can't suggest any one camera over another but look for something that is
longer than 20mm to avoid distortion, 4k if you can find it and 2x macro. Then
make sure whatever it is, has a small enough barrel diameter to fit through doors
at an angle.
