I won't try to complicate you with too much detail.

I'd be glad to give you some advice.

Not sure of your budget...if you're looking to go with low cost..

Get yourself a new mini DV cam at Walmart $250 bucks.....and carry the camera with you on all your hunts....video everything...you can get a 40 dollar gorilla arm camera arm to hold your camera in the tree...

Here is how I started 6 years ago in video editting and I made some sweet videos on DVD of my kills with music.

1) A Cheap Mini DV Cam - $250
2) Camera Arm - $40
3) Cheap Tripod for on the ground shots $30
4) Pinnacle Studio 12 video editting program (Basic) - $45


It took me 3 years to realize this....Camera shake will kill your memories on video...Don't settle for anything less than perfect...keep camera shake to a minimum.

PM me if you have more questions....these are my tips for a new starter...

only my opinion...but I assure you ....I made mistakes...so this is my final recipe for a new guy...

Good Luck!

Brian
