Sorry this answer is not pocket sized, and is a little expensive. But a Nikon coolpix camera (or equivalent competitor) can take video, and the 83x or 100x zoom lens doubles as a pretty good spotting scope. Mine is normally on a tripod at the cabin for watching the fields, and goes in my backpack for each hunt.

I think it depends what you're trying to do with it. Record a hunt? Or just capture some video?
It seems as though a lot of people tend to use SLR-type digital cameras now for recording than video recording equipment to record hunts and get some good photos. You could look into picking up something older to try (used) like a cannon powershot sx10 for like $50. It's bigger than pocket sized. You could advance through the years and pick up something from this decade and get into the powershot sx600 or 700 series (ranging in the $300+). both of these have zoom capabilities, etc.
Or you could go the GoPro route. There are a lot of knock off devices that are very similar to the brand name in feature/function/accessory for under $70. I got this one and have it mounted to by stabilizer on my bow (had it for 2 years now - still works great):
