Hey I’m kinda broke but I can work to about 100 bucks for a camera, any recommendation or is my price tag a bit short? I want to post mroe yoyo vids but my Galaxy s3 isn’t making the cut. ---

If you save up to 200 I would suggest to you a contour roam 2 its what I have been using and it’s the easiest thing to use that and has some pretty cool mounts. ---

What are you struggling with on the S3…? The camera should be fairly decent - I’ve shot some yoyo videos on an S2. The main problem I found was light level - as long as I shot in very good light, I had a decent quality image. Outside with natural light is best. Even better if it’s overcast, as you won’t get any harsh shadows or highlights. ---
