As an iPad owner and user, you are probably aware of many of the capabilities of the device. Aside from having a rear and front-facing camera for still images, it can also record video.

Record Video With an iPad
It’s important to note that recording video on the iPad 2 is going to take up much more space than taking still photographs. The specific size of the video will vary but, for example, a 33-second sample video that I recorded is approximately 46 MB in size. With that in mind, it can save you a lot of space to limit the number of videos you record, or to be sure and offload them from your iPad whenever possible.
