There are some lessons that I have learned in life about always being as best prepared as you can be. One of those lofty lessons is that you never want to be without a spare camcorder battery, because you never know when you will run out of juice and be faced with that dilemma of not being able to shoot the footage that you want to when you want to. That being said, this was learned quite well by me a few months ago when I went to Las Vegas with my best friend and we were using our camcorders so much that the batteries ran out on them. That was when I realized that I could have really have been better prepared with a spare camcorder battery on my person, or on hand. Needless to say, with another vacation looming to Long Beach towards the end of this month, I will not make that same mistake again. After my Las Vegas fiasco I ordered a new camcorder battery online and it is has already arrived. This time I will be armed with a spare camcorder battery so I can keep shooting the adventure as it unfolds!
