Hi Jim, I hope all is good with you. I actually bought this camera as a Christmas present for my wife, for the moderate cost it certainly creates some sharp videos. All the Best ,WS
Deluxe! I got a camera with a microphone as well. Just remember to turn on the microphone, because my camera says "microphone installed" but does not tell you that you forgot to turn the mike on. People are much happier with the new sound. Thank you for sharing this with us, Jim. Stay safe and stay warm
As I mentioned to another hiker/light camping person on YT, one can make a tubular shepherd's crook, install into a backpack custom-sewn-in-tube-sleeve, and then be hand's free. One can rotate the camera around in the backpack in control of the viewing situation.
Or if it is more comfortable, one can design a long knive sleeve to fit a shepherd's crook into a belt design, and have the camera over one's shoulder looking forward, (like a pirate and a parrot), and then be able to move the camera and viewing angle to the desired viewpoint.
Looks like a great camera with all the features you need. The separate mic with the foam cover will be nice and should improve the sound when it is windy........Take care, Mike.
If you get the chance, do test the new mike in a windy situation, if the foam cover is not enough, you may need to look for what is known as a "dead cat." It's a furry cover which is very effective in the wind. :)
I think it’ll work all right. The only weird thing I’ve noticed so far is when I rotate the view finder screen towards the front so I can see myself, the image is upside down which is a little weird. But I think I can live with that.
Wow Jim. That is a lot of camera. I just went the other way and bought and action camera. Would be great to know what brand and model it is. I agree, sound is all important in a video. Looking forward to videos recorded with the new camera
Hi Mark. I bought the camera on Amazon. Here’s the link: www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CTH8QQSY/ I bought an action camera once because it had an external microphone and a waterproof case (not a GoPro too pricey) but didn’t like it. When I shoot my videos I like to change the angle back and forth between my subject matter and me talking directly to the viewers. It was too awkward with an action camera.

Thanks Mike.
That’s very nice! I keep on saying I’ll get a camera one day, but I just keep on using old phones. 🤣
A phone camera is a lot easier to carry around in the woods!
That's a great camera! Congratulations!
Thanks James!

Wow that is one heck of a camera Jim. Enjoy. We have had only 8” of snow all winter and bare grass for weeks here and 9/10c on Monday and Friday.
