Default What equipment do you use to Video your Hunt?

I have a canon and really like it. Tried a Iscope but it’s a little cumbersome. Was looking to maybe get a scope that would take video through the scope. Anyone know what scopes are available for us in Canada that are
Video capable?

Here is a short video I took showing the canon sx60 hs and it’s zooming capabilities. Pretty Awesome!

I’ve been considering getting a go pro to video. I would definitely want something portable and attachable so I don’t have to worry about using my hands to hold the camera and a rifle lol

I have a GoPro and there nice to video yourself hunting but unless the animal is running you over you won’t see much.

This is what I use:
https://www.costco.ca/Canon-Vixia-HF...100341614.html
I put it on an aluminum tripod and it works half decently. Not the greatest but can't beat it's size and simplicity, especially when trying to kill an animal. Here's a clip: really cold
Morning so you can hear the zoom in the cam. Also loses quite a bit of quality due to my lack of rendering/editing skills. Off the SD cars and played back on my laptop the quality is great.

Now, the camera you can't normally hear the zoom. That was just a stupid cold morning.

Vs GoPro footage which is only made for close contact. Even still, this bear at 30 yards was tough to make out clearly.

My videos are pretty hack and I am not looking for subscribers. Enjoy them for what they are- regular Alberta hunts. I love taking the cams along. Even though it's tedious.

we set up my canon rebel dslr that has a video function as an afterthought on one of our duck shoots this year, first time using a camera and if we arent going to have one guy just run the camera for a bit we will set it up differently so that you can see better, this video doesn't show much as far as the action goes but will give you an idea on what the camera looks like, also a warning on the shop talk, and if you havent ever seen a pointer retrieve a goose, i think there is one at the five or six minute mark
