Field Cameras & Equipment
Cameras, tripods, microphones, mike booms, and other assorted items (adapters, fuses, soldering tools, etc.) are available for students to “check out” for course-related field productions. The unit has 19 portable ENG cameras (Canon XF-300, XF-100) that use Compact Flash cards for recording media. In addition, we have three XL-2 mini-DV camcorders for normal use and one DVC Pro camcorder for special productions. We have 18 Lowel lighting kits for location lighting. The engineers sign in/out equipment to the students. There are also 9 portable audio cassette decks to be signed out for field recording.
The unit also has Nikon Digital Cameras used primarily for the Digital Imagery, Multimedia, and Photojournalism courses.
