They are pretty slick Linnette!! the one downfall of mine I wish it could take still shots.

Are you talking of an actual Flip, or some other kind of flip camcorder? If an actual Flip, they are great to use, and very easy. You should be able to take still shots out of your video with the the software it comes with.

Know its ur first time messin with the camera bt when you are tryin to shoot videos until ya get a steady hand with it might wanna try usin a stand to help u keep it steady.. Just a tip that I have seen alot of people do..

 

[Reinken Cattle Co.]

BCCC It is an actual flip I think you are right with the software I can cut down videos to a shot. once i mess with it a little more I will figure it out, as far as steady hand didnt try to hard to take a "perfect" video just had got it and just needed a video to figure out how to upload and use the thing.

[Reinken Cattle Co.]

I did not wfcc! i am not that brave... But i guess i must have been brave enough to purchase her at a dispersal,  ;D  she calved unassisted at about 110lbs.

Wow, that made me dizzy...lol.  I'm the same way, don't feel bad.
Sounds like you're getting it figured out.  Nice calf by the way.  I'm a sucker for colored cows....lol

Thanks guys, yea dont watch it to many times you will really get dizzy!!  (clapping)  just was testing it out... guess i shoulda actually tryed instead of walking out there and taking video of the calf closest to barn haha. I need to set up some sort of video pen out on the pasture, where its green.

Does it record onto DVD or tapes?

We've got the same problem, we've gotta set up a picture pen/video pen. We really dont have a good place to picture/video them right now. But I think once we setup some corral panels on some green lawn (that way people can see how they are on their feet instead of tall grass). Good luck and it looks like you're off to a good start.

Thanks, it records right in the camera, plug into comp with a usb deal. Heres my second try at a video of calf just standing!! not pretty but a little better.. How big of pen would be good to video one calf at a time?

I would say use a 20x20 area at least, but dont get too big so you have to zoom in and out when the calf moves towards and away from you.

Ok thanks for the input!
