This is a set of two Sony HD cameras, each comes with a video light, Sony CF card, a CF card, as well as batteries and chargers. The HVR-Z5 is a professional HD camcorder with a 20x (optical zoom) lens, excellent low light sensitivity, three ND filters, dual XLR inputs (shotgun microphone is included) and low power consumption. The camera features HDV, DVCAM and DV recording, Hyper Gain, XLR audio connections and individual audio channel control, as well as PAL or NTSC recording mode, filmic effects settings, audio limiter, noise reduction etc. The built-in mic is of decent quality but I'm also including two XLR shotgun microphones. It has a hybrid recording system: the Z5U lets you shoot to tape or to CF card, or both at the same time, so you can work with the familiar tape-based workflow or the solid-state file-based workflow as you see fit. NOTE: no Mini DV tapes is included The rental includes: - 2x Sony HVR-Z5 camera, with shutter-equipped lens hood that serves as a built-in lens cap. - 1x Sony SH-L32WBP LCD viewer hood ( it stops the glare while shooting outdoors, really helpful especially in bright light, in the snow, and in situations where the eyepiece cannot be used . It can be remove and folded up quickly and neatly when not needed. It can also be left on the camera at all times still allowing you to fold up the viewfinder - if you fold the viewfinder back to the camera face-up as opposed to face down). - Cable that directly powers the camera from the charger - 1x Rode NTG-2 shotgun microphone with windshield - 1x Sony ECM-XM1 shotgun microphone - 2x HVR-MRC1 CF card recorder: a memory recording unit that captures the HDV, DVCAM, or DV stream output from the camcorder to a standard CompactFlash solid-state memory card (optionally, a simultaneous recording to tape is possible for backup). - 2x 32 GB CF card (each records over 140 minutes): SanDisk Extreme 60MB/S UDMA and SanDisk Extreme 120MB/S) - 4 batteries that can be used for both the camera and lights (2x super-long life Sony NP-F970 L-Series (6,600 mAh), 1x 4,200 mAh and 1x 2,500 mAh) - Sony dual charger with charging display- Sony ECM-XM1 shotgun microphone (in addition to the good built-in mic) - additional charger (single bay), from ExPro - USB multicard reader, to transfer CF card footage to your system - 2x NEEWER CN-160 LED Dimmable Panel Light with cold shoe base to attach it directly to the camera.
