Re: Starter kit

I do corporate "events" typically panel discussions, interviews, announcements (usually talking heads talking to them troops.  Sometimes live streamed sometimes not. I've worked in some awesome venues and some crap venues.

My kit includes 3 cameras, 1 tripod with a fluid head and 2 tripods that are typically locked down and just need to be stable. I own 6 channels of wireless audio and rent if i need more. 4 channels of a/c powered and 2 channels of battery operated for walk and talks. I use my own sound board wherever i can. I own a pair of powered speakers for venues that don't have sound reinforcement.

I have a set of apurture 120d's. Haven't needed anything bigger yet. I also have lithium ion based power generators so if the power is noisy all audio runs on the batteries.

I also have backdrops to hide what are sometimes really ugly walls.

I rarely have to go wide. A 24-70 and 70-200 would cover pretty much all the work I've done in the past 8 years.

And then there are backups for every piece of equipment.
