I made a little money on YouTube last year so I decided to spend some of it on upgrading
my camera equipment.
I am not a huge camera person.
What I was using was so far out dated.
It would not do HD.
So I bought this little guy for $55.00 bucks.
It�s an SJ4000 clone type of camera.
Made by etekdepot.
It does 1080 at 30 fps and 720 at 60 fps or 30 fps.
It came with a lot of accessories.
It came with the basic holder, two batteries, this underwater case and many more.
I am traveling right now and do not have everything it came with right now because I left it home.
For $55.00 the mounts alone are nearly worth it.
If it fell off or got ran over I would not be too upset because it was pretty low price.
I have been really pleased with it so far.
If you have been watching my channel lately you will have seen videos made by this camera.
I bought a couple of these suction cup camera mounts from China.
They were so cheap.
I use them to mount cameras on my truck window or on the cockpit window of the plane.
Sometimes I will mount it outside the truck on the window or mirror.
Now I will show my other camera.
I will film with this one while I show the other one.
It does Wi-Fi as well.
You can control this with your iPad or smartphone.
It has a led on the back.
It shows that I am recording 720 at 60fpm.
So far I like this setting.
The other camera is this Sony HDR AS20.
Paid $200.00.
It also came with a good selection of accessories.
The reason I bought this one is because it has a port for an external microphone.
On a recent video I used both cameras to shoot different angles then I used Lightworks to
do a picture in picture composite of them.
This is the Edutige EMT-008 unidirectional microphone.
I have been pleased with it so far.
It is good for high noise situations when you want to capture your voice or a specific
sound over the background noise.
I use it to record driving sounds in the cab of my truck.
It does a good job of
capturing the sounds.
I have used it a couple of times to record my voice while using machinery in the shop
that would have otherwise been too loud to record my voice.
This is the Edutige EMT-001 omni-directional microphone.
If I use this in my truck is picks up way to much sound and just becomes a big mess
that you cannot tell what the sounds are.
It is good for quiet situations without a lot of background noise.
It will pick up sounds coming to the mic from any direction pretty well.
I have these cat's ear fuzzy guards to keep wind noise to a minimum.
Also with the Sony camera you get this waterproof case.
I have not tried either of these underwater yet.
It is winter time and I don't have any plans to get in the water anytime soon.
I bought this mount separate from the Sony.
If cost nearly half the amount that the etekdepot camera cost.
I wanted a mount that I could still have access to the microphone plug in the bottom.
It is very versatile.
There are more accessories that come with the camera that
I don't currently have with me.
