Futhermore, I wear very thin and tight clothing when I can. I have devised a case for my tripod which can be slung over my shoulder, but this only complicates my style. Boarding a lift with this equipment can be dangerous. I don't recommend it for the inexperienced. It's bad enough having poles to carry, but a tripod can ruin your day. |
Well, I'm certainly talking more about point and shoot cameras, not SLRs and tri-pods...
Mini-DV, mini-DVD and SD card video cameras are pretty small nowadays and fit in most jacket pockets just fine. If the misses comes through for Christmas I'll be sporting a Panasonic SD card video cam is shock/water resistant, a whopping 2.4" X 1.2" X 4.4" and weighs less than half a pound! Not super high quality, but better than most point and shoot camera video modes, and more than adequate for Web publishing.
