They can be found for $80-100 in mint condition, then you can sell off some of the accessories that come with it (remote, battery packs, lcd’s..) and end up paying less in the end. Cheapest one I bought ended up being $50 after selling off accessories. Some people try to sell these used ones for much more but they are about 7-8 years old.. you can talk them down. They dont use them anyway.
You dont need the top of the line model for recording these videos. They are stationary and dont need all the features the new ones come with. Plus for this price if they accidentally get stomped by a bird or shot by a hunting buddy with a poor shot.. its not the end of the world hah.
