I’m looking for a go pro and camera to get into filming hunts. Shoot me a PM with what you have. Thanks!

I may have a go pro you can have. I will see what it is when I get home

Thanks Ben, let me know 👍🏻

It's a hero 4 used it fishing a few times but always left it on or forgot to turn it on. I will have to find the charger but you are welcome to have it

Good dude Ben.

I’ve got a GoPro thanks to ben 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Still looking for a video camera to film hunts.

Not sure if he still has it. He does a lot of filming so maybe he has advice on a good inexpensive one if it’s gone. Good luck bud!

Thanks BB. I just sent him a message 👍🏻

What type of video camera are you looking for?

Big buck, I’m a complete newb to video cameras so I’m not sure. I just know I want something that will film in HD and is fairly easy to operate.

south,

depending on where you wanna go with it determines the camera. I bought a sony for 2500.00 and it did everything and filmed cinema quality. I needed the money more so i sold it. I bought a small canon kind of like the one for sale now, and added a mic and lens hood. It is easy to pack and carry, but filming and audio is not that good! You really want a cam with xlr ports to plug in a mic. If you did not want to spend that much the canon hfg20-30 series is the best bang bang for the buck. That will be my next camera and you can plug a mic into those also. Audio is the key to great videos! You can find them used from people upgrading or realizing they aren't that serious in it! Check archerytalk classifieds in the electronics section. There is one for 525.00 in there now.

If you're looking for a inexpensive Camera to start filming hunts with Look at the Canon vixia r800 or the vixia Hf w10

Southwood - Im hunting with a cannon Vixia hf r800. It shoots in 1080 hd. Really like it so far. You can pull them off amazon for around $250. With a shotgun mic ( has to run off its own battery for this model) you can get solid video and quality sound.
Eventually, id like to upgrade to a Sony that shoots in 4k but your gunna need around $600 for one of those. Have you already go a camera arm and fluid head? A good fluid head and arm make all the difference in the world when it comes to steady, clean footage. I upgraded to a Out on a limb base a few weeks ago to put with my Hawk Camera arm and hopefully will have a chance to test it out soon enough.

Last season was my first time set filming ALL my hunts and the learning curb was tough but I was able to get comfortable pretty quick.

First time filming id look into a camera like the Cannon vixia I mentioned above or the G series by cannon. Both are considered consumer models and you won't be out an arm and a leg if you hate them.

Those vixias are fine little cameras..ive used some of sonys prifessional cameras with good luck but they were bout $4k apiece. We bought 8 or so panasonics to do our video scouting and they are less than the vixia but just as high or higher quality. I forget the model but i wanna say they were around $600. I loved thos cameras and the quality and clarity is amazing...also..an excellent quality digital zoom, shotgun mic compatible. Id look into panasonic too.

I looked up the panasonic i think they are the vx870. I think that r800 is awsome..i think the ones i messed with are the g series vixias

Thanks for the tips guys! After reading the comments I’ve done some research on the canon vixia hf r800 and I believe it’s going to do everything I need stating out. I can get on on amazon for $199.

Last time I considered buying something for self filming hunts I looked hard into the solvid head mount. I just wouldn’t be satisfied with anything that could not zoom. If I ever get into self filming that is what I would lean toward. I don’t know anyone that uses one but the videos online are probably the best ones compared to all of the other go pro types. I’m not interested in someone else filming. I just think it would be nice to memorialize my hunts so I could watch them later. I would use it partially for duck hunting and the go pro videos of bird flying are so terrible.
