Mike M’s Podatorium Room
List of Amazon Prime equipment to establish a permanent setup in the new podcast room or podroom at the Boonton office.
| Description | Quantity | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k (BMPCC4k) This is a real workhorse, premium quality camera. Ideal for fixed, tripod, studio location with controlled lighting. No autofocus, so not good for mobile, handheld etc. It’s a smaller version of the cameras used for the 4MMM production. $1095 | 1 for now (3 total for Podroom) | https://amzn.to/4eMQpHQ |
| Samsung T7 Shield SSD (1 TB) BMPCC4k allows external recording directly to SSD, so no need to mess about with small flash cards. NB – must be high quality, high data rate SSD’s. 1TB will get us about 8 hours of 12 bit RAW footage. $133 | 1 for now (3 total for Podroom) | https://amzn.to/4lwojDm |
| Bracket for SSD $27 | 1 for now (3 total for Podroom) | https://amzn.to/4eLBD40 |
| Lens TBD For the podcast room I want to get fixed focal length cine lenses for the best price/quality. But I need to determine the focal length before we order. Cine lenses $200 to $400. For the audio book we will need zoom lenses. I might be able to source those from my own stash. Will let you know. Zoom lenses $300 – $1000. | ||
