This is not entirely what we have, but is most of what we have. We may acquire more gear as needed. We may or may not use or bring all this gear. To ensure we bring and use specific gear you may need to request it in advance.

Video Cameras

  1. Sony ea50uh with various e-mount lenses (16mm to 50mm, 18mm f2.8, 18mm to 200mm, 35mm f1.8)
    The ea50uh is typically the main camera. It is the most professional “video” camera in our gearset. I may be used run and gun style but typically is operated from via tripod.
  2. Sony a6500 (uses same lenses as ea50)
    This camera is more a DSLR, but it achieves the same quality image as the ea50uh. This camera also shoots in 4K. I will only shoot video on this camera for about 20 minutes at a time due to heating and time restrictions. This camera is more for creative shots (b-roll). I almost always have it on a stabilizer like my 3 axis gimble. And it is the main camera for my slider.
  3. Two Sony FDR AX100’s (4K)
    They are great for peripheral cameras I am not personally manning as they enable me to have a lot of room for post scaling and achieve a ken burns effect (artificial zooms and pans/tilts) with no degradation. While these cameras have a beautiful large one inch sensor, these sensors are not near the size as the APS-C sensors on the NEX 6 or ea50uh. Consequently, these cameras have a different look than the APS-C cameras do. Nonetheless, these 4K cameras are awesome to cut to, especially when used for the right shots.All of the above cameras (ea50uh, NEX 6, and FDR AX100’s) shoot onto SD cards. And all of the cameras use H.264 format.
