is in the upper end of the mid consumer-grade range. Canon HF S series. Add a handle (search using "Glidecam Stunt bar" or "Scorpion bracket" or "Opteka X-Grip"). There are no (new) camcorders in your price range with a "built-in" handle. The closest I can get is the Panasonic AG-AC7 shoulder-mount which I am not suggesting you get without LOTS more investigation.
hi i want to get into shooting videos at car shows and stuff like that but im not sure what kind of camcorders to start looking at. i kind of want something with a handle on it so i can get low to the ground and do drive by shots. im looking at spending around 1000$. just wondering if i could get some input from people who know what they are doing haha. thanks in advance.
