spleenator Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Hi there. Sorry for the broad question. I'm a video newbie. I work for a company that produces all sorts of educational material and we're thinking of aquiring some video equipment for shooting small lab experiments, intended for primary and high school students. We have a small budget (2000-3000€ max) From what I've gathered the basic equipment setup within the budget would be something like: [b]Accessories[/b] Tripod: manfrotto 055xprob + 701hdv Circular Polarizing filter + adapters (for dealing with glass reflections) Lights (which ones?) Reflector Rodeo video mic [b]Camera + lens[/b] Canon 600d plus kit lens (with Magic Lantern) Sigma 30mm 1.4 Tamron 17-50 2.8 non vc (maybe optional) Canon 85mm 1.8 or Tokina 11-16 2.8 (different purposes but I prob. can't get both because of the budget) We have some seller restrictions: I can't pick a GH2 because it's not available or upwards 1000 € and the Sony 5N would need some old manual primes, which I also can't get (main source is ebay). Again, I'm not very knowledgeable in this stuff. I understant and accept that compromises have to be made due to the budget. So, whith that in mind, do you have any advice/recommendations? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richg101 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 get a Sony NEX 5N - It will shoot 50fps at full hd. certain lab experiments would benefit from slow motion id imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
