Video Camera

[EddieHoward]

What video camera have you guys found to be good for hunting -- remote -- hold on devices etc.

[MarlinMears]

Eddie, there are a lot of smaller camera's that will get the job done. I started with a Canon Gl-2 until the HD era. I use the Hunter Cam Cradle tree arm, which is a little excessive, but I'm usually just running he cam and not trying to hunt as well. Might check out the video section on here, as there is a lot of good info.

What kind of budget are we talking about?

[EddieHoward]

Not in the area of what you are holding in your avatar

somewhere in the 250 - 450 range

[Mr.Lovett]

For a do it yourselfer,in that price range..I would probally just start with a sony handycam or something along those lines.I started with one,and for filming yourself it will work just fine.as for camera arm,I would go with the primos arm.you should be able to stay in your price range with that.

[EddieHoward]

Are you saying go with the major brand -- if so, which models have you guys found to be good?

[Peyton]

Any MiniDV by Canon or Sony.

I have been thinking about getting one also, I assume they zoom silent and turn on and off quietly. My wife's little camcorder makes too much noise and that's the main thing I'm concerned about.

Don't know anything about it, but looks kinda cool.

Eddie,

I have a JVC Model GR-D27OU, Mini DV, live Slow-MO, 25X Optical Zoom, remote, paid about $250.00 for it. Works great.

I wish the Mini DV tapes were longer and the batteries lasted longer, but you get what you pay for.

I found it just now on Amazon.com for $240.00.

I recommend the clip that Shockvalue had in Quebec, but I can't remember the website.

KEEP actually turned me on to this one. It's cheap ($20 shipped) and does the job.
