The SmallWonder arrives
We want to go guerrilla video over here, and inspired by the Stanford ePortfolio crowd, we got a couple of SmallWonder cameras from TigerDirect. The idea is that they are less intrusive than a traditional camera, more portable, and easier to use, and that sets the video threshold to a level where people are more likely to grab them on impulse to film something.
We’ll see. So far I’ve been really impressed with the ease of use, and I’m pretty certain I will be buying one myself for my political blogging. Maybe tonight, given how much I like this thing so far…
Here’s our first test clip:
I will say there’s a small high pitched sound on the video, but I don’t think that’s permanent. We’ll see.
So I went out and got one for myself. I’ll post links to any political footage I get. I think this is really going to change the tone and scope of my political videoblogging.
