Recording Devices

[MalusDB]

Hey all, if this thread has been made before, or if there is a seperate thread where this has been answered, I apologise (even though I did try and search a bit).

I'm just wondering if any of you guys could possibly recommend a good camera/webcam that is of a high enough quality to pick up and record solves with a good picture/sound quality without a massive pricetag. What devices do you guys use?

Any recommendations are highly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Malus

Flip Video is really nice and portable. Very nice quality. But I'd hurry, because they are going out of business soon.

I have a Microsoft LifeCam too but it has a bendy grip instead of a plastic one.

Yeah, beware of the difference between webcams made for laptops, and ones made for desktops. Not only is the cord too short for most desktop setups but the "grip" as ^ called it isn't wide enough to fit a lot of regular LCD monitors. This applies to the one I linked. I use a USB extender but I just have this thing lying around. It'll only cost you more to have to get one so watch out for it.

Flip Ultra HD is quite nice. Unless thats to expensive.

waffo uses lifecam for home vids
waffo uses a sony bloggie for comp vids

That lifecam looks like a good buy! The video quality of your solve is perfect as far as I'm concerned PandaMan. Also nice solve I'm thinking I might invest in one of them bad boys Thanks for the advice guys.

Gonna take a look at that sony bloggie too maybe in the future, but for now my budget is shouting LIFECAM!
