Keeping it Accurate and Honest
(Note: we are not trying to provide a complete rundown of all equipment matters related to videotape production. We are emphasising issues related to nature videography specifically. Recommendations are based on our experiences and data gathered from the net and printed sources. We would be pleased to hear other opinions and may incorporate them here. We have included prices for the convenience of visitors to this site. Although we live in Canada we have put prices in US dollars for the convenience of visitors who may not be aware of the current value of the Canadian dollar! Prices are approximate only and are the manufacturers' suggested retail price in North America. Street prices may be significantly lower in some places in North America. Prices in other countries may be considerably higher.)
