good camcorder under $400 for filming skateboarding ?

Q. wat is a good camcorder under $400 dollars that supports tripods

Answer
I think just about every camcorder has a tripod thread. You'll also need a ultra wide angle or fish eye lens for those typical skateboarding shots like a 0.25x. You'll need to know the filter thread size of the camcorder though to get the right one.

Anything SONY or Samsung! I have a Sony Handycam and it is amazing! It was only $150 from Best Buy and it even has a remote so I can set my camera up on a tripod at soccer games and press record with the remote! My parents have a Samsung and theirs was $275! They have never complained about it!

Whats the best camcorder for me to buy?

Jason

I need it to be under 400 dollars, have good picture quality, microphones need to be able to work with it and compatibility with imovie on my mac.

Answer
If you can't stand Mini DV tape, the JVC MG255 gives *decent* video quality with the HDD convenience, and it should work with little trouble in iMovie HD from the iLife 2006 suite. If you have iMovie 08, I can't comment on that. I have a JVC MG555 and it works fine with iMovie HD (06), but I have to delete the first frame of each clip, as there is some overlay ghosting effect (deleting the first frame for about 20 clips takes less than a minute for me).

If you can handle Mini DV tapes, then you have lots of better options. Check out the Canon ZR line for cheap cams with mic input (some of them have it), but I warn you, I bought one and absolutely hated the horrible tape motor noise that I couldn't get rid of (the one I bought had no mic input; I was stupid back then).

Honestly, you aren't going to get "great" video quality for under $400, but because I'm not sure what you mean by "good" I can't guarantee what you'll like. The kind of camcorder that has a mic input is the kind that starts to merge itself into the higher price range.

I recommend you to look at the Canon Elura 100, which won an award on the below-listed site, and has a mic-in. It's cheap too, at under $400.

Consumer level HD camcorders have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording consumer level HD camcorder, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer level HD camcorders all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes â four different times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.

With a MiniDV tape camcorder, record 60 or 90 minutes ( camcorder settings), 90 seconds or less to change a tape and record for 60 or 90 more and repeat till you run out of tapes.

MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition.
