Dustin Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Does anyone here have a suggestion towards a 2 camera setup for event coverage - particularly a church? At our church we have a 30-45 minute sermon so essentially it would be best to be able to record longer than the 29 minute mark. While our church has two canon camcorders (the consumer not the pro kind) setup on tripods- it feeds into a tricaster and the quality is horrendous. What would be a recommended two camera setup for events? I currently shoot on my d5200 to ensure we have nice video for our social media of the sermon, but as I only have a 17-50 f2.8 I must sit close and the 29 minute mark means I must time my stops accurately. Any suggestions? Low-mid-high budget... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Unless your building is a romanic church I would recommend a panasonic camera, gh3 for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Nope it's a modern building. What about something like 2 c100s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about something like 2 c100s?Or two alexas.I thought you would let them running and that's it, two small pannies are nice for that, I believe.

But does anyone have any other suggestions? Maybe someone who has shot events/conferences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Just out of curiosity, how does a good "church video" look like. If you want a nice long focal length for that nikon the nikkor 180 2.8 pre-ai goes for absolutely nothing and is good enough for 1080p.

Zach Ashcraft Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 A single C100 would be more than sufficient, unless you are wanting multi-cam. A used FS100 might be cheaper these days. I've worked in Church production before and we used some sony ENG cameras, though they're definitely not a necessity if you're just capturing sermons.
