  I just got done responding to hookedonpole in a personal message about this topic and thought I’d publicly share my recent camcorder purchase.
  http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Camileo-Full-HD-Pocket-Camcorder/dp/B003DZ122O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1291182258&sr=8-1

  I change my settings to the 720p because the videos load faster to my computer and the quality is just as good as 1080p for just doing pole videos. I love the light feature and swivel screen. I usually film my pole videos where the screen is sideways and I rotate my videos when I edit them in imovie. A con of the product is it is not compatible with Mac OS X. I have a Macbook Pro so my husband had to create a conversion program for me. The conversion program isn’t so bad and I didn’t want to send the camcorder back because I love it so much so the small hassel of converting isn’t a big deal. I usually load my videos and put them in the converting program and while its converting I hop in the shower post workout. The camcorder works wonderful with Windows Pc. It even has a button to directly send your videos from the camcorder to your youtube. (I have yet to use this feature as I tend to edit my videos pre-posting to the world.) It also came with a small tripod, however I rarely use this because I set the camcorder sideways. The tripod is only useful when filming upright and I need maximum pole footage in my videos. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I also bought a flash card for memory and have found 8gb to work perfectly. The battery lasts a long time- I have gone through 4 workouts on one battery charge. (I usually workout 1 to 2 hours total). Hope that helps and I’m very happy with my early Christmas present to myself. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_santa.gif
