I bought the Vivitar PopSnap for my son for travel, and found it can record really good video, so long as you insert a 32GB or 64GB SD card in it so it has the memory to record the video(s). Very handy for recording ICE. And it is super compact, it will easily fit in a shirt pocket, under a hat, etc. I am sure there are similar cameras on Amazon as well.

That way, you don't risk your phone. My whole world is on my phone. No way would I want Trump’s Nazis taking my phone. They can have my PopSnap.
