Hey everyone, my name is Bryce! I'm a 19-year-old college student, and my friend and I want to begin documenting our urban exploration trips. Our first major project will be traveling to and documenting Little Saint James (Epstein Island), but we need help covering camera equipment and travel expenses.

We are full-time students with part-time jobs, but most of our money is going toward tuition, housing, and living expenses.

We've made a GoFundMe with the ultimate goal of raising $2,500 for this project specifically, and for camera equipment for the rest of our explorations!

It would genuinely be beyond helpful if you could donate or share this post with your friends! There are more details in the GoFundMe :)

Hi! My friends and I are starting a YouTube channel focused on urban exploring, and we’re trying to find the best cameras for our setup.

Our biggest challenge is that many of our locations are in complete darkness, so we’re specifically looking for cameras with true infrared night vision (not just low-light performance).

None of us are very familiar with cameras, so what would you recommend that has the following features:

Budget: $100 - $200 USD per camera (we plan on buying 2)
Country: United States (Michigan specifically)
Condition: We wouldn't mind something used if it's reliable
Type of Camera: IR Night Vision Camcorder
Intended use: Filming urban exploration trips for our YouTube channel
If video what style: Vlogging
What features do you absolutely need: Night vision (needs to be able to see in pitch blackness), lens stabilizer (we'll be moving around a lot)
What features would be nice to have: at least 1080p / 30fps
Portability: Pocketable, easy to carry with one hand
Cameras you're considering: I'm not sure yet, I'm starting my camera search here!
Cameras you already have: None

Any help is appreciated!

Can you help fund our Urban Exploration Documentary Series?
