My first setup on cam and gear

Just thought i would post and show my first load out in attempt to capture something out there. All of this ended up costing me around $400 and i think its hard to beat that price considering everything i need i now have. The accessories should be in by the end of the week minus the IR extender might take 2 weeks. But in my opinion this is a great cheap start to my new hobby. Also this might help some other people interested in starting up at a low cost!!!!!!!




Just bought a new Sony Mini DV DCR-HC52 at bestbuy for $240 w/nightshot the cam works great only has 1CCD and is standard Def but the picture quality is great for Standard Def and the price. Also a 5 hour battery for it to replace the 1 hour factory one dirt cheap
