I received a question from a client the other day who is due to take a Nile cruise shortly asking about any recommendations I might have for the best small high definition digital video camera to take with them.
If you have seen any of our Nile Cruise videos you will have seen the results I obtain from my Flip HD Digital Video Camera which I’m really pleased with. I’ve had it for about 18 months now and it’s been a great tool for me. Small as my iPhone and really easy to use. However there are some excellent alternatives now available made by Kodak and also the iPhone 4 has a really good HD video camera built in to it.Â
The only problem with the iPhone is that there is no way to fix it to a tripod to get a steady picture and so the videos arent’ as smooth as I would like. However there is a new “steadycam” hand-held setup being made available in December that acts like the type of “smoothee-cam” that you see camera men at football matches using to give that really smooth camera shot of the players from pitch-side. It’ll be about £100-150 but for real enthusiasts it will allow them to get great results from the excellent iPhone built in camera.
