| Most newer digital camcorders
allow you to hook up an analog video source and view it on the built in
screen, and capture it to tape. This is an important question to
ask, however, if you consider going this route. There are a few digital
camcorders that don't allow analog input, and they are not much use for
what we are trying to do. A much less expensive way to capture your
aerial video is to buy a combination tv/vcr. Many of these were designed
with the intention of being put in a car or camper, and can be powered
directly from a 12v power source like a car battery. I have seen these
for as little as $250 dollars, which is a bargain compared to a $600 camcorder! |
