Question for those who video their hunts

[Wannabe Treasure Hunter]

What kind of camera do you use and how do you go about videoing your hunt? I am wanting to start videoing mine, just in case I find something good and would appreciate any and all input...

How do you post a video? I made one on my phone. I tried to post it but it would not except the mov file extension. Will google and see if I can change the extension.

Figured it out.

Don't bother with gopros, they are expensive and will cause you many a grey hair. We use an Olympus TG-870, that is waterproof, impossible to kill and takes pretty nice videos with a wide angle which is often quite nice for capturing a bit of the environment. We have action cameras and a DSLR, but haven't used either of them since we bought the Olympus.

Having a screen to watch what you film is essential if you ask me.

Check out our channel in my signature, all of our recent videos are shot with it.

Read reviews on other sites. I'm new at this and really do it for my own enjoyment. Two features which I think are essential long battery life and stabilization. There are many competitors to the GoPro and some are pretty decent.
