How good is the idea, that instead of hiring these tools year after year, the WMF/Wikimania grabs a set of, say 10 portable, yet good video cameras, and reuse them from Wikimania's to Wikimania?
Recording video* is easy; you can do it on most mobile phones these days.
What is difficult is providing audio of sufficient quality; you need good, well placed microphones, operated by someone who knows what they are doing, This is especially important when you consider that many people will not be listening in their native language.
Then there's the issue of closed captions....
