Hello all,

Just a reminder that Wiki Loves Monuments is around the corner, andn coincidently we are looking for input on volunteer equipment. (Specifically photography and AV equipment)

Here is a list of current equipment we have:

We’d ideally strive for some kind of balance between quality and quantity, but are not averse to a big ticket item if it will facilitate a specific piece of work.
But ideas suggested to me by volunteers and other Wikimedians so far have been:

More lapel microphones (to record panel events etc)
Shoulder rig
Video light box.
Filters.
Extra batteries and memory cards.
A bigger telephoto lens
A handy audio recorder
A camera drone
A selfie stick

We have a budget of £1000. If as part of the suggestions, people could also look at prices and possible good value vendors, that would be helpful too. Please reply all here, or alternatively, with suggestions on the wiki. Looking to firm up decisions over the next couple of weeks.

Thanks
