Can anyone suggest some older Hi8 or Video8 digital recorders that have an AV in so that I can use a head cam. I need an old cheaper one as it will be used on a boat/kayak and may just get wrecked....or does anyone have an old one that has a broken lcd screen or viewer or ccd sensor that would work OK with a seperate Vid Audio AV input?

If I can get a list of old ones that have AV in I can start searching.

Thanks
Neil
