I have never used a really posh video camera. Stills cameras, yes, but not video. The main reason is that I never want to lug an expensive camera around with me outdoors and I don'y like lugging something heavy around with me. So more often than not, I use a GoPro; especially when going abroad because it takes up so little room.

This video is just an example of what can be done with the camcorder. They're kind of out of date these days with people all using DSLR cameras, but I really like their convenience, ease of use and above all their cheapness!

I bought the cheapest at around £175. Half the price of a GoPro and in some respects, it's actually better.

So this is for you if you'd like to get into video on a small budget and still retain some control over the picture. I'm showing some of the advantages with a little demo video tacked on the end where I literally sat in just two spots by a pond and used the zoom lens to do the legwork for me!

If you ever consider a cheap camcorder, please use the links below to help this channel continue to develop. They are affiliate links and so cost you no more but allow me to buy something else to demo on YouTube for another video.

SIRUI 3T-35 Table Top/Handheld Video Tripod with Ball Head - [ Ссылка ]
Adapter rings - [ Ссылка ]

The Sirui tripod is excellent. Not cheap but solid and counterbalances the camera. It works as a tabletop tripod, short pistol grip, longer pistol grip and as a shortish selfie stick. You can also buy spare plates to enable all of your cameras to be quickly attached to it.
