Cheap video camera

[Mart61]

Hi guys

Just wondered if you had any recommendations on a cheap digital video camera. I'm looking for something that'll record to SD memory cards or similar.

I want it to record my flights and want something I can sling in my box and take with me that'll take a little abuse and not be too costly if I break/lose it.

I find the video facility on my little Canon point & shoot camera is not that good.

Cheers.

Hi,
I have the Kodak Zi6 HD camera.
It records to SD Card (up to 32gb) and records in 720p High Definition at 60FPS.

It is around the same size as an iphone (but thicker), and it lives in my flight box to record (others') good flying!

I think Comet are selling this unit for around £99 at the moment - IMHO a real bargain...
Have a search on YouTube and see what you think?

If that's the one you used to take a vid of me flying the other week it's pretty damn good for something that size!

Hi Martin,

Yes, that is the same camera - well pleased with it.
Did you like the vid?
Not seen you since I gave you that DVD...

Yes thanks for taking that vid and sticknig it on DVD for me, shame it was at the old field and I felt hemmed in there hence didnt fly as well as I could have done.
I missed you up the field on sunday, you fly way to early mate, 7am is still the middle of the night on a sunday morning
