Who plans on "video-ing" this year?

Title says it all.

Just got my first camera that i can do editing on so I plan on doing some this year.

I was considering one of those small digital video cameras.What do y'all use?

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

We've found 2 in particular that work very well for video, here's the key.

Most digi cams that come with the "video" option, have more of a camphone setting, 320x320 but there are a couple that record at 640x480, like mine.

I use a fujifilm 5600.  I've owned the 5000 and 5200, basically older versions of same camera.  When I bought it, it was the only one that recorded at 640x480.  People were amazed that we shot our stuff with a digi cam.

Now, mind you,...it's not as good as a digital recorder but it's more than enough for me, especially considering that the camera also takes fool proof stills.  I've taken some great pics with it and I'm a rookie.

Canon also makes one now, Glenn just got one and so did HagHunter.  I haven't seen any footage from them yet but it is the same setting and similar price ($250-300)  Not sure of that model #

The cost with these cams is the accessories.

You need a set of rechargeable batt's.  I have 12 of them, 3 sets of 4.  I use the 15 minute rechargeables. (about $15-30 for charger and 4 batts, additional 4 packs are about $10-15)

A good bag

Memory cards.  I have 2 one gig cards,...15 mins each of video at high setting or about 1700 stills each.  for fishing, I do short clips.  To set the camera up and record the whole outing, you need to go to the digital camcorder route-mo money.

You can edit your footage in windows movie maker.  It comes packaged with XP, look in "programs".

I'll probably video some on my outings this year.  I have an account on Youtube where I post bluegrass videos.

[Live.2.Fish]

I'll be shooting video again this year.  I'll post my videos when they are made.

I'm using fujifilm s700.  I took LBH's recommendation for it and I'm pleased with the camera so far.  I've had it for about a year now.

I use a Canon ZR850 Mini DV video camera. It uses small tapes and also captures stills on SD cards. I can playback a tape, pause on a frame and take a still of that frame. It has a remote control for videos and stills.

I transfer the tapes to DVD and I convert some of the DVD's to digital videos with Studio Manager software which is a free program.

I got that camera because of it's 35X optical zoom since I do a lot of videos when deer hunting.

I carry it in a waterproof case made by Pelican.

THAT's the way to do it!!  A note about the digi cams,...once you start recording, the zoom is locked

[fishing man]

i definelty will be videoing my videos this year. just got a new camera just for it and cant wait. now i just need to find a way to video myself catching fish, and also fishing

[Wayne P.]

fishing man, when I'm in my bassboat, I use a camera tripod on the back deck with bungee cords holding it down to the storage hatch latches. In my jon boat, I made a camera mount with some 3/4" sturdy PVC pipe and a camera mount that I purchased without the tripod. I just screwed it to the transom.

[fishing man]

thanks wayne P, i have a tripod, somewhere, i didnt even think about finding it and using it to take videos.

[Bassboy15]

I am, seems like when im filming though the bass dont bite

[wareagle83]

No video-ing for me but I do plan on taking a whole lot more still pics of my fish caught this year.  I never seem to have my camera around while fishing.

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

This is great, can't wait to see some of the results.  If anyone needs help learning to mix and edit your footage, shoot me a PM and I'll tell you all I know.  We learn more and more each year.

I'm pumped that others will be filming.  

ROLL FILM!!!!

Roll film can be easy its the "action" part that doesn't always want to cooperate!  LOL

[s_self88]

I'll probably make some more.

[Big-O]

I do get a chance to film my grandson fishing from time to time but at my age I have a hard time remembering how to work all those buttons. Heck, most of the time, he tells me how it works. And just when I get somewhat proficient with a particular camera something happens to it (like I forget and leave it on the deck of the boat and it falls out), and come to find out they don't make it any more.

I appreciate the offer though LBH, on assisting in the editing and mixing challenge. Might take you up on it.

Mark Davis and I are fishing on 4-21 that will be filmed to promote a new bait design. If I can get some cuts from it before it airs I'll post it on my website and pass it along to the group. Big Mark is great to fish with and is a world of fishing knowledge. Bend a rod

[Mike D from Lunkerville]

if you guys videotape yourselves catching a nice bass, don't forget to make a DVD and send it to Lunkerville if you want to be on TV

We're expanding our "Home Videos from Lunkerville" segment of the show and will try to put someone's home video on every week.

Just remember to keep the original audio on it and send it to us unedited and without music.

I'm gonna try.

This thread came at the right time for me!

The wife and I have been looking at cameras for the last week. We need one that takes good stills and good vids.

I'll shoot you a PM when I'm ready Russ. Right now I'm buried in a pile of work.  :-[
