What camera set up should i get?

[TwoWheelsDaily]

Hi all, looking to start Vlogging when i get paid but i need to buy a camera, with a mic that is waterproof. I have found a Drift hd170 stealth for £70 but it is just the camera, battery, charger, sd card and 1 mount. So i would have to buy the waterproof cover, the mic, and the handlebar mount as im wanting to use this every now and then.

I have a budget of £100. What would you get? Please include postage costs. Cheers!

Sorry, should add the cheapest i have found the waterproof cover is £30 + £8 p&p on ebay, and the drift mic i found was £10Inc p&p. So that would work out at nearly £120 and £100 is a stretch to be honest.

Anyone?

do you have a smart phone that could be used for audio and go with a cheaper 1080p camera?

Not sure about the US$ conversion...

E-bay, craigslist, Classifieds, auction, or maybe a deal site with patience. My basic set-up was $330 USD and not waterproof.

£70 for a refurbished HD170 stealth, £10 for a boot and about £10 in total for the mic depending on how you set it up

I use a HD170, and bought it refurbished for £80, so £70 is a cracking deal. Should get you going for around £90 all together and its full HD, all the bells and whistles

Please point me in the direction of a waterproof boot for £10. I cant find them anywhere. and the mics for the drift are like £40? Sorry, new to this could you put some links up? im hoping to order it on monday

Boot:

Mic:

You wont find an original drift mic for less than £20 nowadays for some reason, if you can find one at all! This is what I suggest:

Theres a mic adapter there ^^ for £2.99 with £4 shipping

Then just buy any type of mic you want with a 3.5mm jack. Should only cost a few quid off ebay/amazon and the like

A la this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Compact-Microph ... microphone

wish i'd bought all that when i started, would've been £10 cheaper for a newer camera :evil:
