      I've been looking for an inexpensive way to start filiming deer hunts.  I've found a few cameras on Craigs List but I'm not real sure what's the most important feature to look for in a used camera.  Anyone have any experience or helpful comments?


      Thanks

      That is one thing I wanted to start doing this year. I hope to have a small cam corder to start with by this fall. Right now I am video taping with my iphone, for a phone the quality ain't that bad.

      <p>Does anyone use the Go-Pro cameras? They are small but seem to do a good job and are tough. I see a few on motorcycle helmets in the summer. They have underwater cases for them to use in all weather and for catching fish, underwater views.</p>

      <p>I purchased a GoPro 4 silver this past season.  I used it to video a few hunts.  It's great for a self filming application and or to use when walking or traveling.  It's not great for gun hunting.  You would need a 2nd camera for your target area.  I filimed a buck I shot using the GoPro and the distance caused problems.  You can see the deer but it's very small on the screen.  I will post the video up on this site so you can view it.  I also purchased a Canon Vixia for around 200.00 and it has a killer zoom.</p>

      <p>I just use a Sony handycam. There are much better cameras out there but I'm satisfied with what I got right now. If money were no object I would have a better camera</p>

      <p>I would think that an arm for the camera mounted to the stand or tree would be a big help if you were filming your own hunt. I have seen them on some website but some are fairly pricey.</p>

      <p>Your exactly right Terry.  I purchased Big Game mount for my video camera and it was about 60.00 at bps.  I have been using a GoPro as well but I've not got a very good mount for it.  I purchased the GoPro clamp mount and it is noisy to use.</p>
