it looks like it would work perfectly. i would probably take some cloth camo tape to it just to reduce shine ive always used little camcorders.. i am just now starting to use one of the flip cameras just to save money on discs

I just bought the camera last summer and I like it. Its very very small and takes good quality HD videos. It also has a 120x digital zoom which can come in handy at times. Even though it looses quality on digital zoom you can still get out there quite a ways and still have decent quality. All the features it has on it are pretty nice too. Some times when I was just going out for walks I would just stick the camera in my pocket and if I saw a animal I would get it out and start filming instantly. Its pretty dang small. If you get one you better buy another battery for it too. The original battery that comes with it only holds about an hour worth of filming. Get a 7.4v 2000 mAh lion battery pack withit. It runs for about 2 hours. It also has a built in lens cover where you just move a switch and the cover comes out. That really comes in handy for being outdoors. It keeps the lens cleaner and safer.
