Tom, I've been fighting the same battle. I think I've got it figured out for the instrumental. What made a big difference is that I put the mic on a boom positioned so that it is facing the banjo, and behind the head (about a foot away). This worked out pretty well, and is not visible while recording. I also had some luck with the mic in front, just below the video frame, point up at the center of the banjo head.

Catching vocals is another issue and I am still working that one out with a single microphone. I've had surprising luck with a lapel mic a couple of times, but I don't own one, and was using it in another forum.
