Having just seen the woodserve ,treetop production clips i'm quite inspired to have a go myself but don't know the first thing about camcorders.Can you reccomend one,cheers.

I just use my iPhone. Haha

 

Have seen some pretty cheeap HD camcorders that record onto a memory stick in Argos. Like £200 or something. Look ideal for carrying about in glove box and then just plugging into the pc when you get home.

 

I'm thinking of going down the helmet cam route myself.

You can get usable video out of cheap pocket cams nowadays, here is one I shot with an iPod nano:

I bought a Sony CyberShot pocket camera and mounted it on my climbing helmet. Here's the first video using it:
