CAMERA INFORMATION:
|
We use several cameras to capture the original still imagery and video that we use in Museumerica. (Some other imagery used by Museumerica comes from outside sources for which we have no camera data.)
As of this writing (June 2020) our go-to video camera is the Sony FDR-AX53. Its image quality, boosted by Sony's remarkable Balanced Optical Steady Shot (BOSS) system, is a game-changer for us. Our still imagery is made with a variety of Sony cameras including the a7R III and a6000 using lenses including Sony's 24-240mm zoom. |
Cotton Carrier Camera Holster Museumerica bought Cotton Carrier camera sling and support hardware, which we find very useful in relieving the load imposed by traditional camera neck straps. We find the Cotton Carrier Wanderer Side Holster an effective way to carry the weight of a camera and lens as a waist belt-mounted support instead of around the neck. Cotton Carrier has a growing catalog of camera support devices.
