help with beach bag setup optical zoom

Hi all :), first of all sorry for my english.

I wanna make a setup to do the same like all those webs that record topless girls in the beach without moving the camera zooming in to get vids like if they stay at 1 meter but they are far away.

ill remote control the camera with my phone to always point the girl control the zoom and start/stop recording.

I tried Panasonic HC-V380EB videocamera and a Panasonix Lumix photocamera, i think they are a good option but u maybe tell me some better options.

I noticed in videocameras the zoom dont make any part of the camera move or pops out, but with photocameras, when doing zoom pops out the lens, so thats why i think its better a videocamera.

I tried to used both on bags but i noticed they need a really big hole in the bag to dont have focus issues.

So if anyone have experience with this, i really like any tip of what kind of bag, how to do the hole and dissimulate the hole or something, what camera have nice optical zoom and its better for this.

Thx to all

How did it go

Try putting the lens against a mesh fabric for a pocket on the side of your bag and it will disguise the camera instead of trying to aim it through a big cut out hole
