Need advice on Video Camera

Acts Enthusiast Posts: 1360 **2/16/16 10:37 pm**

Looking for info on a good, decent priced video camera. We want to start live-streaming our services and Aldo editing for upload to you-tube etc.

We want to utilize it as a fixed camera either suspended from the ceiling or mounted on back wall of sanctuary.

It seems like a very reasonably priced camera!!!

I don't happen to see a "Video Output" as I'd need to run it to a computer for uploading and or editing.

I would like anyone else input on Camera's and setup as well!

some options

Lots of questions & Options.
1st - what is your budget? (You don't need to answer/post it...)
Do you want something you can hang in the ceiling and leave it alone - remotely pan / tilt / zoom, or do have a place to place it about eye-level of the stage, that you can shoot from. The "new" format is 4K (better HD) if you want to purchase something that's not going to be obsolete as soon as you get it....

If you mount it on the back wall, you won't be able to follow the action - you'll be stuck on a wide shot - unless you get a joy stick and keep someone on it. With a camera on a tripod (like the video above), you'll also (of course) need someone on it - if you want to follow the action....

I like B&H Photo Video in New York. This link gives you a few options...

This video uses more than one camera - so you'll need a video mixer....
