I am quite keen to record myself batting to understand how my technique is coming along and also to understand where I can improve. I also would like to record my bowling so I see if i can ever get it back!
Therefore, I am interested in what people use currently to record themselves batting, costs and any additional accessories
I own the HD cricket coach app so was going to transfer the video on to my iPad for review.
I have considered using an iPhone 6S or a digital camera from a while back (12Mega pixels) but want to gather thoughts of the forum before I start getting the wonga out
all idea and views welcome, thanks

I hear Go-Pro cameras are quite good mate.

Would you need a net go pro, a wet weather go pro and a main match go pro? On some forums you may also need an in the shower go pro too...!
Separately using a mobile is usually fine for recording a net session and easier to upload the recording to YouTube.

Buzz, it's like you've read my mind!!
GoPro are missing a whole market!!
I also need different weight goPro's for if I am working on different type of filming, I prefer the holographic covers and obviously I need one for every shot :-D

Due to not being able to zoom on a go pro, I find you have to get them quite close to get decent footage.
This leads to the odd accident that can damage it.

There are better cameras out there for it, I don't have much experience with them though.

A £40 (Polaroid) digital camera from Argos and a £3 tripod of eBay are my weapons of choice to film nets.
The footage has a very 1970's quality to it but you can see everything clearly enough. I also don't care if the ball hits and damages the equipment as it's cheap enough to just buy anther one.

I have a GoPro Hero 4 silver which admittedly I've only used for nets this season. Kinda want to use it for a laugh in match situations, but will inevitably end up with some stick. Maybe at the end of the season...
They can take a bloody beating, that's for sure.

I use a GoPro Hero 4. As mentioned the down side is that they don't have a zoom option so you really need to position it close to the action to get watchable footage. They are very sturdy little units and can take a pretty good hammering if they get hit. Mine has been blasted a few times.

I heard you can get a zoom lens for the gopro, alternatively isnt there a protune that allows you to do the same as well as the software is capable?

I believe Protune is for adjusting lighting and colour etc.
