Design for Social GOOD has put together a relatively inexpensive video package that we think will help you to produce high quality video and audio without breaking the bank. It’s a kit that is easy to transport, easy to use and perfect for blogging and posting on YouTube, Facebook or Twitter.

Office Max has the Kodak ZI8 1080p; 5-megapixel; HD pocket video camera for half price, $79.99. It’s the size of a Blackberry and has received rave reviews including this one from CNET. It easily surpases the Flip Video’svideo quality and feature set.

We recommend you add the following accessories:

Kodak 1736933 Zi8 Silicon Sleeve (Black)

Flexible Gripster Camera Tripod 

Audio Technica ATR-3350 LavalierOmnidirectional Condenser Microphone

Kodak Zi8 0.45x Wide Angle With Macro (Modification Style) Magnetic Lens + Cronies Micro-Fiber Cleaning Cloth

SanDisk Ultra 16 GB Class 4 SDHC Flash Memory Card SDSDRH-016G-A11

The video camera comes with a rechargable battery and all the cables and accessories you’ll need. We highly recommend this set up and we think you’ll be very happy as well!

Thanks to Miami Herald Visual Jouranlist Chuck Fadely and Penn State Professor, Senior Lecturer, Curt Chandler for all their input in putting together this information.
