What is a good camera for me to use when filming my own hunts?
Matt from IL asks: Hi You guys show a lot of different cameras on some of the shows and I was wondering if you have any suggestions for a camera that would be good for just one person trying to film and hunt at the same time. I have no idea how much the cameras are that you guys use, but would under 1000 dollars be reasonable? Thanks Matt Pike County, Illinois Winke Responds: We get by pretty well with the basic Canon GL2. You can definitely find them used on ebay for under $1,000. Use a good camera arm like the Muddy product and a basic fluid head so you can make smooth adjustments. With some practice I think you can probably get where you do a good job self-filming. It will never be as good as it would be if you had someone filming it for you. We don’t allow self-filmed hunts on Midwest Whitetail because you lose too much. But for home video, it would likely work fine. Good luck.
