Is there such a word...videography? I really enjoy videoing my flights in the gyro. To that end I am constantly looking for 'The Camera'. Initially I wanted to get something cheap to experiment with various mounting postions and check out the quality of HD video. Presently I am using a little $245 Aiptek 600Z HD camera.
