Looking for a reasonabally priced camcorder to record golf swing?

Q. I am looking to purchase a camcorder to record my golf swing. I am not looking to spend $3,000 on something like the Minolta Swing Vision camera you see them using on TV with the 4000 frames per second. Does anyone have any recommendations for camcorders they have used to record their golf swings that are reasonably priced? Thanks!

A. The ONLY consumer cameras that even approach what you want are a few of the higher-end Sony consumer camcorders that have the "smooth slow record" feature. Be advised that even though these camcorders are considered "high definition", when the smooth slow record" feature is invoked, the video quality is degraded (and no longer high definition).

How can I capture live video from a camera into PC at 300 FPS?

Q. I have a camcorder and a camera which can be connected to the PC. Is there a software that allows me to capture live video from the camcorder directly into my PC at 300FPS? Adobe Premiere allows 30FPS max.
Thanks.
The reason I need this is because I want to record myself performing a golf swing. The club will be traveling at over 100mph and I will playback the video in ultra slow motion.

A. sorry, you're going to need a high speed camera first. consumer cameras don't have the frame rate to do what you want.
check out the link below it's just up your alley as it demonstrates capturing a golf swing... plus it records onto a memory card easily transferable to pc..

Camcorders and airport security?

Q. I'm flying next week, and I'm going to be taking my camcorder. The camcorder will be in its own case which I'll keep in my carry on bag. My question is do I have to take my camcorder out if its case, or do I have to just take the camcorder case out of my carry on or can I just leave it in the carry on bag.


And also would I be allowed to take videos with the camcorder within the airport, just of my family and friends.

A. that would depend on how big it is.
if its a small hand held one that uses mini vhs tapes, mini dvds, or an sd card then its fine to keep it in your carry on.
if its a larger one that uses full size vhs tapes and you hold it on your shoulder to use it cuz its big and heavy then you will need to take it out of your carry on and out of its case and place it in a grey bin provided to you for it to go through the x-ray machine separately.

yes you can take videos of your family in the airport.
