Video Camera

[James_R 3]

I'm not sure which section this would go unde,r os I guessed ICE, but I'm after recommendations on camcorder's/videocamera that will let me plug in a bullet cam.

 

Certain places aren't keen on you capturing footage, and having used a stick it on the rear windscreen mount before it gets right in the way of your rear vision, and I like the idea of the camera (heavy bit) being well secured out the way, like under your seat, and a small (light) bullet cam attached to the cage somewhere.

 

so please can you recommened me a camera unit and bullet cam.

 

Be nice it had a remote bit so I don't have to go digging abotu to turn on the camera.

 

thanks in advance for any help

James consensus seems to be any Canon or Sony Mini DV camera that has DV in socket is suitable for mini camera. In addition try and get one with a LANC socket so you can add a remote on/off button to aid starting and stopping redcording. remote controls are OK but most cameras have an auto switch off if they arent recording so you can find yourself in a situation where you have to unstrap your harness to turn the camera on agaion - A LANC controller is the way to avoid this

 

Hope this helps

There's a list here Camcorders that lists most of the main makes and it tells you whether its got Av Inputs or not.

Hope its some help.

whichever you get make sure it has the LANC socket . My canon doesn't have one and its a right pain in the arse
