Hi All,

The WGAN Forum Question of the Day for Wednesday, 15 July 2020:

Do you carry a spare camera with you on your shoots?

Best,

Dan

My policy it to carry an heir & a spare for all equipment on a shoot. So, each shooter carries two DSLR’s, a Z1 & a V or sc2 for Zillow’s 3D home tours (v or sc2 are just in case) and a Pro2 w/a Pro1 back up.

I never want to show up to a property unable to perform due to some sort of hardware issues

I carry: 3 drones (one is non-DJI), 3 cameras (2 DSLRs & an InstaOne R), at least three batteries for each, at least one battery charger for each plus one battery backup inverter, one monopod and one tripod.

No. We've done approximately 9000 shoots, we have had exactly 2 camera failures, shutters broke (worn out). Total time lost was probably 2 hours labor.


To have backups for everything we use would cost like $30k or something crazy like that.
