Hi Patrick
Yeah, now there´s a video that works and a link ;-)
I brought an expensive Canon HV10 High Definition video camera. I was very happy to begin with because it records beautiful video and is very small and handy, but after a couple of month it stopped working and wouldn´t charge the batteries.
So I had to ship it to Denmark by DHL to repair it on the warranty, since Canon´s warranty only works in the country of purchase. It cost me $100 dollars to sent it from La Paz, Bolivia and I had to buy a small camera while waiting. So I bought a Nikon Coolpix S6, which has been working perfectly, but the quality is poor and only just works for the Youtube showcases. I had hoped to make a full quality program when I got back to try an sell to Danish TV, but that idea is dead now.
And finally I got the Canon camera back some weeks later in Cali, Colombia (which cost me another $200 DHL), did one episode and it stopped working again - crap!
I tried to talk to Canon in Panama, but they refuse to help and I won´t ship it back to Denmark again. DO NOT BUY CANON!!
Concerning your other questions. I love having a kind of purpose and love the process of editing the videos on my laptop. (MacBook intel)
I carry a Gorilla grip tripod, which can be mounted anywhere. Very smart!

I'd love to see your work so far. Any tips as to what the best methods are to carrying all the gear?... and up loading while on the road? Does the movie dominate your trip? Is it too much like work? How rugged are the cams? Do you use a tiny helmet mounted cam? Tripod?
Any tips appreciated ...and of course I'd love to see what your videos!
