Yes, people do record videos with iPads
People often poke fun at the idea of using an iPad to take a photo or record a video. I do so at least a few times a month and wondered if I was the only one doing this apparently odd thing. While at a high school track meet yesterday, I spotted this guy recording a video. So, it looks like I am NOT the only one who thinks it is fine to use the iPad’s camera to do what it was designed to do. 🙂
