Picking up my first DVX100 (a) this week -- my first pro camera. I know that many accessories are project dependent, but what would be a list of essential, "must have" accessories that almost any project might require?
On my list so far is a quality tripod and fluid head, extra batteries and a wide angle adapter (I like to capture lots of panaramic views when I travel so it is essential to me). What else should I be shopping for?
As a hobby (so far) I've done some corporate product videos for a couple of companies and one wedding. I've got another wedding (I know, bad word here) in 3 weeks and I've been asked to document the 25th anniversary Necronomicon SF convention here in Tampa by one of the organizers. That should be interesting! And there is a local landscape company that does seminars; they want to offer them as a DVD set.
Obviously I'm going to need mics it seems. And I guess I need to learn about lighting, at least to capture the costume ball at the SF convention. Or is it going to be well lit? I must find out!
