Videoing Finds

This is a little off topic and if it is in the wrong section, please move it. I was wondering what some of you use to video for Youtube and what you might recommend. Love watching detecting videos on Youtube and thought I might give it a try. Thanks in advance.

Good question, I was wondering the same thing. I know the iPhone works pretty well, but there must be better options.

I have a Kodak Zi6. Fits in your shirt pocket, can be used with tri-pod. Uses the postage stamp size cards and has great macro. I don't know if they make them new now or not. I've heard the Zi8's macro isn't as good, but I can't confirm that.

I know others use the Go-Pro camera, but I don't know anything about them.

Videoing is fun, and you can learn a lot about the machine by doing the recording the "Full" digs (listening to the tone before digging). However, it can take up to 10 minutes or so and that hampers your swing time. So its a give/take relationship.

Good luck.

I use a Kodak ZX5. They don't make them anymore but can still be found new on eBay (that's where I got mine). I love it. Waterproof, rustproof, shockproof. Nice and compact. People complain that because the battery is sealed that it can't ever be changed. Kind of like an iPhone. Well I just had a new iPhone battery installed a week ago and I talked to a camera shop and they said they can order and change the ZX5 battery. For editing I just use Windows Movie Maker that came installed on my desktop.
