Would you recommend this product for shooting video and taking pictures?

I would not recommend this product. The plastic assembly broke once and a part was replaced. It broke again. The company is supportive of the product but it snaps easily.

Hi and I hope my response is helpful. I used the tripod mount to video tape my students while they were giving oral presentations. It was easy to mount and it held the iPad in its place during all the video tapings- no problems whatsoever. There might be a more sophisticated- more robust mechanism out there, but this one worked well for my purpose and budget.

Hi Alexander - for personal use - this might be okay. I purchased one for use in an elementary school and it wasn't sturdy enough for school use. The plastic is a little 'hard' and feels like it will snap and we did break one on the first day..... So - if you are a gentle and careful with things - maybe it's for you - but I would hesitate to recommend it. Colleen

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it for lots of video, there are better tripod heads with a pan-handle (haha) that make panning smoother. Once you lock the ball with the two knobs, there is a separate knob that controls rotation, and it tells you the degrees (0-360), so you can take panoramic photos. You loosen the rotation knob and can pan, it does feel smooth, and could be used if you will do occasional videos. If you are taking a lot of videos, I would get something made more for videos.

It does a good job with video, as it's HD, at 720p. However, it doesn't seem to adjust focus well, if you change the telephoto setting while filming. It's better to stop recording, adjust your teldphoto lens to where you want it, then re-focus before recording again. I have not uploaded to YouTube yet, so I can't comment on that, but it should work OK.

Yes t works very well for video, just make sure you know your buttons before you go under.

Yes, I am also a youtuber. I got this because the video on it is better than the three, but its best for taking pictures around 5k res, The video and audio sound great, I have had no problems, at all, or any complaints, If I were you, id go on ebay, and get the cheap generic brand 2 pack batteries for this also, becuase it helps a ton when your out some place taking pictures, the one I got was under 20 bucks, and it even came with adapters, and a car charger.

I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark III. Recommend a Class 10 card for video recording.

Yes. It also has image stabilization, so your videos will playback smooth, even when you pan manually. Pretty impressive video for such a small camera.

Sorry I just use for my photography. I have not used my camera for video. I have old Fuji 5 mp that takes the best video of anything I have ever used even new sony. I still use the old xd Fuji.

Yes. I have used it on occasion to make sure I have it ready in social situations. More often I have it mounted on a tripod for time lapse photography or video. Also I have it mounted for action video on my canoe.

It would really depend on what you mainly intend to use the camera/camcorder for--if you're going to be shooting more video we would suggest a camcorder because DSLR cameras like the T5i limit the video recording length to protect the camera's sensor from overheating.

It will take beautiful video. You may be better off with a less expensive camera if you are just learning. iMovie or Final Cut works like magic.

I would think so. It has a good focus setting and it's a really good quality. I've never really done that specifically but I love the camera so it should be good

No I use it mainly outside on vacation or recording grandkids birthday parties. It takes great videos BUT you must have a steady hand or use a tripod for the best results.

I purchased mine a long time ago and still use it extensively...because of its small size and just the right amount of functions that I use makes it right for me...takes great videos and pix for my tastes anyway...hope this helps...

I recommend to buy a bag and 64 GB memory card. Probably you will need also a tripod. That`s all. Concerning WB for taking pictures, remember that it is a Camcorder. So its primary function is to tape. Although it takes pictures...Tha pictures are very nice.

If you have a decent dslr I would say no. I haven't used it much because it's difficult to use. The software is not particularly user friendly. I'm sure one in used to it out well be fine. But I'd I had a dslr I wouldn't bother.

It is great for action videos. If you also want stills, I agree a great digital camera with video might be a better option? Also give yourself time to play with it so you are ready and able to use it.
