My Video Prep for Newfoundland Moose Hunt

Posted on by

I hope to video my Moose Hunt as much as possible. Accordingly, I performed some internet research for a video camera that was affordable and had a zoom lens. My research led me to a new Cannon Vixia HF R800 HD video camera. It is very small and easy to hold takes professional quality video if on a tripod. But I needed a case, SanDisk cards, a tripod etc., all sorts of stuff as a kit and for $250 or so I got one.

I have a Nikon SLR and Video D5500 already and like it for close work. I am a month away from my trip so I must practice setting up my video gear and testing it. And make sure I have plenty of GigaBits and charged batteries. My Kit came with free Corel Software to download which includes PaintShop® Pro and VideoStudio® SE.

That chewed up most of a day to get and load. Now to learn them is a much longer story. You must be computer savvy to some degree.

Of course if you have $2000 for a starter pro video camera or more then go for it. Below is a great site that got me going!! Maybe it can help you as well.
