I bought a camcorder on Black Friday. I wanted something small so I can keep it in a fleece pocket inside other layers while ice fishing so it won't get too cold to work. I have been looking at them, pricing them out since I didn't want to spend much and found a great deal. I went with a Sony Handycam. It's only 5" long so it will fit in a pocket no problem.
I have a tripod so I can record right down the hole in the shanty without worrying about it going down the hole. I can quickly attach it to the tripod and take it to a tipup to record that. I plan on taking it with me as much as possible this winter. I will have it whenever I fish with any members and at get togethers.
I just loaded the software to my computer this morning and uploaded my first videos to it of the dog in the snow. I will be playing around with the editing software it came with, as well as the advanced editing software I already had on my computer.
I look forward to capturing, editing, and posting videos here. I have a "bleep" function for Jeff ;D

Is it a regular camcorder? I'd be worried the recoil would break the camera. The helmet cams work good on guns.

No its a flash cam, uses a micro sd card. I tried too find one that had mounts for all different guns and a helmet mount but they were a little out of my price range. I get a link up of the one I bought.

Oh, it's made for guns so it should do fine. Right about the same price as the helmet cam.

Is it resistant to oil based lubricants?
I might have to get one if it is.

I can't wait to get some ice fishing adventures on video. I'm sure there will be an end of season one where all adventure highlights are edited and compiled together. Hoping to get as many members as I can in there at the smelt nights.

I will try my best to get some tipup footage, even if it is with my phone. I need to throw together a stand that I can set my phone upon. It would be cool to get some canal flag fishing posted!

I heard there are tripods for phones, but I haven't looked into it.
