Any ideas on a good camcorder for this ...

Postby AVITRY » Mon Apr 04, 2011 10:13 am

Hey all. My son is a cop up here in CT and he has asked me what I'd recommend for a camcorder to record an event he and some of his buddies on the P.D. are going to participate in in Vermont this May.

Any links to camcorders that may work for this would be appreciated. I don't even know if I'd want to wear a hat or helmet to record. I'm lost. I'm not keeping up with the new technology or prices, so I told him I'd ask some folks who may know. Looks like this even may take 4 hrs or so, and sure looks like it needs to be waterproof. :)

here is the link to a similar even held in Georgia ....

seems like the GoPro helmet camera might meet some of your requiements.
