iv been millin around on the site and decided to look at this section. iv never really thought about it but i think i want to start filming my own hunts. it looks and sounds fun and i always enjoy a solo challenge. so what are some basic things i will need? what are some cheaper HD cameras i can get, that still shoot some decent videos? what do i look for in a camera? thanks for all of the help guys
Check out campbell cameras.... they have some nice little starter kits with mostly everything you will need. There are some must as a solo filmer.... this is like doing two full time jobs at once! Having a lanc controller is a must and a solid camera arm and fluid head are as well.
I decided i want to get the insane bow mount kid with the kodak playsport zx3 hd camcorder I think this little set up with work just fine for me and the kodak had a 1080 hd resolution to offer as well maybe look into that
Get a good camera arm and fluid head. It may run you $300 for the combo, but it will definitely be worth it. ($200 for the arm and $100 for the head) There are alot of good camcorders out there...the biggest thing to look for is an easy to use manual focus control...this is the most important thing other than the picture quality. Sony cameras are very good in low light conditions which is also very important for obvious reasons. The LANC controler is very helpfull too...as others have mentioned.
Def get a camera arm. HD cameras are really coming down, I have a set up just like cambells lower ends, but only have half as much in it as they charge.
