Camcorder?

Featured Replies

What camcorder do you guys use to record yourself while you are fishing on the boat to make videos? make and model would be nice

well a go pro is the best it seems. For a cheaper solution, i use a kodak playsport and screw it onto my hat or put it on a tripod and buy 10 batteries 2 bucks a piece. Very cheap set up and it's HD. Hard to get better than this. I have put some heavy use on this. I use a 16 SD card inside which records 4 hours of HD. And the set up is water proof and easier to deal with the rain than the gopro because the casing in the go pro muzzles the sound when in water proof mode. Just some thoughts. Good luck.

You have to be careful when looking for a camera. Some will advertise that they are "Full HD" when they only have a resolution of 720p, which use to be Full HD but it isn't anymore. Look for a camera that shoots in 1080p you can find them for about the same price, and then get the editing software that supports it. Right now Amazon has Adobe Premier Elements 10 on sale for $50. I paid $100 for it a year ago.

I would recommend the GoPro Hero2 for all outdoor fishing videos. With the built in fish eye lens you can set it up at less than an arms distance away from you and still get everything in the frame. All of my videos are shot with the camera 3 feet away. The only drawback to it is that if you want sound you have to have it out of the waterproof case or in a Skeleton case.

If you want decent sound in a waterproof package get a kodak playsport.
