Just a quick note to say that I've today ordered a bigger battery for the (old) camcorder. My plan is to put that camcorder on a tripod in the well deck as I travel, and have it run continuously which it will do for up to three hours with the new battery. By that point, I can swap to the original battery for another two hours if needed and thus gain 5 hours/day of front-facing cruising footage. This can then be edited into each vlog, giving me a load of extra shots alongside the usual stuff I film from the back (with the current camcorder and, of course, the new little "action cam" on a selfie stick as well)
I'm hoping this will jazz up the cruising footage nicely! I've also ordered a short microphone cable so as to improve my use of the little Rode VideoMicro when I'm doing interviews.
It's entirely down to people chipping in here that I've got the funds for the battery and the action cam, all of which will go towards making nicer videos so thank you again for your support. Cheers!
