Camera for filming yoga

[ReeferMonga]

Hey everyone I am looking for an HD camera to film yoga with. I am starting a yoga business and will be filming classes like "yoga for skiing" and stuff of that nature. I've been doing yoga for 10 years now and feel really confident in my abilities. So I am reading to drop 700-1200 on an HD camera.

What would be the best? I am just trying to get the highest quality shot because there shouldn't be too fast of movement or that wide of a shot. It would need to be able to go onto a tripod. I will be doing b-rolls for videos though so it may need to have a little diversity for lifestyle shots, or things of that nature. Thanks everyone will update you guys here when I release my website!

Honestly, you don't even need a camera. Just use your phone if its good enough(most modern android phones and iphones shoot in 1080p) this way you don't need to spend that much, and you could reinvest that in the business, or buy some new sticks!

For a tri pod you could use a phone to tripod adapter:https://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/co...&m=Y&c3api=1876,92051677562,&is=REG&A=details

For HD a Panasonic GH3 with Kit lens

Hard to beat for the price. I have one and it's been great. Really good in low light. HF-G30

For simple filming like yoga I would go canon t21 and a Kit lens or 50mm or something. You won't need high frame rate, and these are t2i are dirt cheap

And t2i's are dirt cheap**

Like these guys are saying I would grab a t3i or t2i and then spend money on a good lens like a Tamron 17-50 f2.8.

You should have some left over money after that which I would recommend investing into some decent lighting equipment. You could have a super nice camera but with shit lighting it's just going to look bad.
