The Solar Video Kit: A brief overview of this DIY project.

Project: http://www.solarvideokit.com. Made with 100% solar power charged batteries. Do it yourself video kits that are rugged, under $200, solar-powered and include training on the camera. These kits help novices get great video anywhere in the world, and then get that video online by either uploading it themselves, or by physically mailing the entire kit back home for others to post online. Ive put all my research here so you can make the kit yourself. This information is geared towards non-profits because the makers of Flip cameras have deep discounts for lots of types of non-profits, but youu could also use this idea for any organization and most small cameras.
