Advanced Media Equipment Setup

1. Camera & Tripod Setup

Tall Camera Tripod – Ensure it's sturdy and adjustable for different heights.

Camera (or a high-quality phone with good video capabilities) – If using a phone, consider a smartphone cage or mount for stability.

2. Audio Setup

External Audio Adapter or Mixer – If you're plugging a radio or phone into the camera for sound, you may need an adapter such as:

TRS to TRRS adapter (if using a phone as an input)

3.5mm audio interface (e.g., Rode SC6-L or iRig Pre)

Wireless audio transmitter & receiver (e.g., Rode Wireless GO II) if you need a wireless connection

3.5mm AUX Cable – To connect the radio or phone to the camera

Attenuator Cable (if needed) – If the input is too loud, this helps adjust the signal to avoid distortion

3. Remote Control for Camera

Second Phone or Bluetooth Remote – Your second phone will act as a remote for the camera

Camera’s Companion App – Ensure your camera or phone has an app that allows remote control (e.g., Sony Imaging Edge, Canon Camera Connect, or Open Camera for Android)

4. Other Accessories

2. Extra Batteries - To ensure your equipment remains powered throughout the setup and recording process, especially during long events.

3. Multi-Tool - A compact multi-tool (e.g., Leatherman) can help with quick adjustments and minor repairs on-the-go.

4. Foldable Reflector - Helps to manage lighting and improve image quality by reflecting natural or artificial light.

5. Microphone Wind Muff - To reduce wind noise for improved audio quality when recording outdoors.

6. Tripod Dolly - Allows for smooth movement and repositioning of your camera setup without lifting it.

7. Broadcast-Quality Headphones - For monitoring audio quality and ensuring optimal sound capture during recordings.

8. Lens Cleaning Kit - To ensure your camera lenses are free of dust and smudges for clear video and photos.

9. Gaffer Tape - For securing cables and equipment without leaving residue, essential in managing your workstation.

10. Portable Light - For additional lighting in dim or low-light environments, ensuring the video quality remains high.

11. Backdrop Stand - Used to hold different backgrounds or green screens, especially helpful for professional video setups.

Power Bank – To keep your phones and camera charged during long events

Windshield (if outdoors) – A foam cover or deadcat for microphones if recording outside

Cable Management Clips – To keep cables organised and prevent accidental disconnections

Optional Upgrades for Better Quality

External Mic (e.g., Shotgun Mic or Lavalier Mic) – If you need better direct audio capture

HDMI Capture Card – If you need to stream or record via a laptop

This setup will primarily be used for recording events such as conferences or performances.
