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. Three Sony a6600‘s and one Sony FX30 with various emount lenses (11mm 1.8, 16mm 1.4, 18mm 2.8, 18mm to 200mm, 35mm 1.8, 50mm 1.8)
    I typically use the a6600’s as my main cameras for interviews. I can use these for long form presentations now too. The FX30 I reserve for stabilizer work and when I want the highest quality codec.
  2. Sony ea50uh
  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.
