Live TV Accs.


Recommended Posts

I recently purchased a ShadowV with the intent on doing mostly narrative work. In the event that I have an opportunity to shoot some live content I want to make sure I'm setup to do that as well. Can someone give me a list of acs. they have found to work best for live shooting, for instance focus and zoom control from the gimbal handle?

In no particular order:

  • Gimbal Mounted Zoom/Focus Device - My preference is a Stanton
  • Fiber Jumper - 6' works great for me, ordered mine through Phoenix
  • Triax Adapter (less common and usually the show will have one for their Steadi)
  • Teleprompter and Mount
  • Broadcast Camera Plate - I like the Cam-Jam plate, it's super lightweight, drops the CG, and gets rid of all vibrations.
  • Return Monitor and mount
  • Lots of various tools for whatever chaos arrises
  • BACKUPS OF EVERYTHING - if it goes down and you're live, you have to get back up immediately.

A partial list, but should get you started. The more you operate the more you will learn what you need and what you can live without.
