Hi,

My daughter is very keen on making short videos and would really like a decent (but affordable) camcorder. There's loads out there but what I've no clue about is whether she can use a camcorder to video 'selfie' vlogs - is it dependent on focal length?

Any advice greatly received, I really am clueless....

Do you mean a vlog (rather than a clog)? As I understand it, most vloggers use a DSLR type camera, not a smartphone.


Some recent recommednations here - not sure if this is the sort of budget you had in mind.

Thanks for your replies - I did indeed mean vlog (daft autocorrect)

She has a decent smart phone (better than mine anyway),but 'apparently' they're not great for videos/selfie videos. The DSLR camera I have is too big for her needs - also a bit expensive, we're really after something fun but functional of a budget around ?200

That would be my choice (so I get to have a go to!) but the request is for a flip screen *sigh*.


I may just have to put the Gopro on my santa list....


Thank you everyone for your help - I think I've narrowed it down to this https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/cameras-and-camcorders/camcorders/camcorders/digital-camcorders/panasonic-hc-v180eb-k-camcorder-black-10142645-pdt.html

It's affordable and apparently has a minimum recording distance of 3cm - my daughter's arms are longer than that!

You can actually get decent quality by adding some external devices to the phone. it can be a good option in the long run as you can use the microphones etc on any phone when it's upgraded


theres a local guy who does iPhone filming classes, theres a list of kit that can be added on his site https://www.mobilefilmmaking.com

    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
