Anyone got any recommendations for some video cameras I can purchase to film some practical's? Looking to spend under £300.
Many thanks

Tbh so far we've used the video camera that's built into our school laptops (running on windows 10) and the video camera on my colleague's phone, both of which have been perfectly adequate. Our HoD uses one of these attached to the laptop so he can film close-ups. https://huehd.com/shop/hue-pro/?ph=782f5d1b5f6507f8e0765137
Added bonus that there's no need to download anything because it's recorded straight onto the computer

We have bought these for remote teaching and for filming practicals:
I also highly recommend a tall goose neck stand like this one:

We tried one and liked it and now all the science and food labs have them, they make remote demos much easier.

Our school has invested in a load of these: https://www.avpartsmaster.co.uk/p-50321-avervision-u50-visualiser.aspx and they are proving to be very popular - easy to use, well made and good performance.
We have ipevo V4K visualizers. https://www.ipevo.com/products/v4k
Hi Jimbob we're late to the thread and hopefully you got everything you needed now.
When you're ready to film, our in house video content expert Pete has put together some tips for filming science practicals to help you get the best quality videos.
Yes you can use a visualiser too.
Good luck!

I've just upgraded our compact cameras, Fuji Finepix AV to a Sony Cyber-shot RX100. Quite expensive ~£400, but there are some very good alternatives, make sure you have a card reader and a tripod. I've been videoing quite a few demos and practicals. They then go into a folder that all the teachers can access.
which version is it. (looking to replace a MK4 (written off by amazon) at some point).
RX100M3, does that help? One caveat though, It did freeze up not long after we got it. It did recover, but I Googled for faults and it's not completely uncommon.
