Videoteam/Hardware

Hardware, we'd like to have

At Debconf7 we spoke with the DPL at that time, Sam Hocevar, about using Debian funds (like 1-2000 Euro or so) to buy hardware for the videoteam to improve the quality of our work. He was in favor of that idea :-) So far we've only used funds to buy one radio mic for 222 euro, which already helped us a lot at FOSDEM 2008.

ideas

• tripods
• another twinpact? (or use a software dvsource for that??)
• more radio mics
• another behringer
• a bigger behringer, p2 has offers for 255 euros
• tripods
• cameras
• a "yearly budget" to ship our gear to Debian events, so it can be used there
• long firewire cables: http://www.usbfirewire.com/fcable44.html
