They're about $200 and awesome. I had one that recorded to a disk but it was a PIA to get it onto my computer. Does yours have a SD card or memory stick? It has a slot for a micro SD card but I don't use it. It has a cord that attaches to the handle so I just plug it into the USB port on my computer and off load the runs. The internal storage is fairly large. This is also what I use. I really like that I can zoom in to get clear footage at each barrel and I don't have to worry about a charger , as I can just plug it in while I'm going down the road.
This is what I use for everything. Very easy to download and use. |

| I've been using my phone...Droid Razr Maxx HD. As long as I keep it on the highest resolution setting, the video quality is much better than it was with my old digital camera. I do have problems if it's very dusty, or if lighting conditions are weird - dark barn with a few spots of light shining in, or when the sun is starting to go down. I've been starting to look for a new phone, and the guy I talked to at the Verizon store had a couple really good recommendations when I told him what I needed camera wise. Can't remember them now, but I can find them if someone is interested! |

Location: Sweet Home Alabama | I bought a HD Canon VIXIA HF R52 camcorder that was on sale for Black Friday at Best Buy. It's was originally $450 but I got it for $350. It has 57x zoom, wifi, projector (which I never use), you can plug it in your phone or laptop to upload on social media, and you can pause it on an image and make it a picture. I don't have a smartphone so I don't know if your iPhone can do all that but it's pretty neat. It's a very clear image. I love it. Definitely worth the standing in line for hours to check out that night.  |

Location: CTX | Up till last week we used my Sony cybershot digital hoto camera, but it has a bunch of buttons.... and sometimes my husband would miss a run because of that.... So I ordered a Sony handycam, very easy to use. Open the flipscreen and push the record button!
It has a micro SD card and with the attached USB cable I can just plug it into the laptop and copy the clips on there. Very good quality!! |

| I use my iPhone 6 and it works great, no complaints. I can transfer them to my Mac easily and not blurry at all. |
