Thats an interesting question. I think it will "beep" because the cam is made with some metal. So if there is a detector i think you have no chance.
I am right?

indeed it will beep, just try to enter through a metal detector in the airport with your cam, and u will see it will beep ;)

About how to hid the cam, Chris already said enough :)

I think if your pants has an zip fastener will also "beep". I think no one will demand that you pull out your pants! There is no so much time at the entrance!

Real metal detectors don't beep up for buttons or zipper in your pants etc. They are made for detecting material used in guns/weapons and thus to reveal possible items that one is carrying.

I am really interested in taping some shows this fall when the band plays in the USA again, but I can imagine that most of the USA shows (indoor ones) will have some kind of metal detectors ;)

Any USA tapers in here that can provide some tips?

Hello experienced tapers,

I am thinking about buying a camcorder to use when I see the band this fall indoors in the USA/Canada shows and I was wondering if you guys could tell me if the following camera specs are good enough to produce a good quality Metallica concert bootleg.

Flip Video Mino Camcorder
Digital Video Format: MPEG-4, AVI
Digital Zoom: 2 x
Camcorder Effective Still Resolution: 0.31 Mpix
Camcorder Sensor Resolution: 0.31 Mpix
Exposure Modes: Automatic
Optical Sensor Size: 1/4"
Optical Sensor Type: CMOS
Video Capture: MPEG-4 - 640 x 480 - 30 fps - 3600 sec
White Balance: Automatic
Media Type: Flash card
Min Focus Range: 3.3 ft
Supported Battery Details: 1 x Li-ion rechargeable battery


I know these specs are not the best, but I really can't afford to go out and buy a great camera at this time ;) But do you guys think this will be good enough or just a waste of money?
