arfur mo Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Does anyone know what cameras they use for the channel 4 reality show "Big Brother" both indoors and outdoors, as the quality is fantastic. ruddy expensive ones i'll wager. a customer of mine supplies the Tv broadcast quality equipment for hire to 'the trade'- mainly sony recorders and camera sets, and the prices really make you whince - put it this way, i always use my steps and don't clamber over any of the boxes - one crack and = instant new bankrupt. if it needs moving i insist they do it, or i don't do any work there but if you need that type of gear pm me for a phone number regs arfur_mo If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

electrocam Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Can a fellow trade member PM me with a rough ballpark figure on how much these cost? I've been quite interested in utilising this kind of camera in my line of work as it seems to give you access to all of the Sony block camera controls, very programmer friendly B) ! -Dave Trade Access/CCTV Member Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/9837-big-brother-cameras/#findComment-92239 Share on other sites More sharing options...
