  1. I would go for a used Sony EX-1, EXR or and EX3. All three are excellent cameras that have served me well for many years. They are still very viable and produce a great image.
  2. I definitely use the tape and battery changes as an informal break time for sure. I figured that out very quickly! I think I have a great working relationship with the producer so in terms of trust, it is definitely there. I get into trouble when it is towards the end of the day and the posture starts to weaken and the shots suffer because of it. It sounds as if job specific conditioning and exercises like you and a couple other camera operators have suggested would really help. I'm going to have to try those as soon as possible. Thanks a lot for the great advice, it sounds like you have a handle on the reality shooting, or as much of a handle as is possible in the reality world!
  3. I definitely don't do enough exercises to help with this problem, thanks for the advice!
  4. Hi Brian, thanks for the response. Yes I did check that out but a coworker of mine said that would surely limit mobility. I will try the Tai Chi for sure.
  5. Hi, I currently work on a home improvement reality show and we use the Panasonic HDX 900. I am curious to see if anyone on this forum has a piece of gear that he or she may use to help lighten the load on the back. I began shooting reality about a year ago and I am really starting to feel it in my back and shoulders. Any help would be appreciated!
