Hey everyone!!

I am looking for a good affordable solution for shooting 29fps 1080p multi angle drum cover videos. I currently shoot with a Canon T2i, but buying 3 more of those just doesn't fit the budget. ;)

Would you guys recommend some good camcorder that'd get the job(s) done?

I'd really like to shoot with the T2i and get 2 other cameras to add. Would that mess up the quality consistency?

Thanks one and all!!
 
Gopro HD. Sure it's a "helmet cam" but can be mounted to pretty much anything and has a nice wide lowlight lens and they are relatively cheap.

WOW! Those are quiet the little buggers! Holy cow at some of that footage.

They are awesome but only at well lit scenes.
I tested mine during a gig and it was bunk but the audio was pretty decent.
Mind you it was a dark room and the camera was one level up by the sound-board. The lighting was crap but saved by the projector screen lit-up (yes that bad of a bar/gig).
Now as far as what its actual uses are for, I was blown away when I brought it out for a snowboard week at Big White (Kelowna B.C.). On sunny dayz it was uber cool ;)
