Does anyone know what cameras they use for the channel 4 reality show "Big Brother" both indoors and outdoors, as the quality is fantastic.

ruddy expensive ones i'll wager.

a customer of mine supplies the Tv broadcast quality equipment for hire to 'the trade'- mainly sony recorders and camera sets, and the prices really make you whince - put it this way, i always use my steps and don't clamber over any of the boxes - one crack and = instant new bankrupt.

if it needs moving i insist they do it, or i don't do any work there :whistle:

but if you need that type of gear pm me for a phone number

The spheres are called Metal Micky's, not sure who makes them, they maybe have a special camera inside the housing i dont know for sure. Couldnt say who makes them but i have seen them advertised in the trade mags before.

Manufacturer is Forward Vision systems in Hartley Wintney Hampshire. Speak to the Sales Manager John Lewis on 0870 0113131, he is a top chap.

The standard Mickey has the Sony 480 module as do 75% of the top professional dome cameras. Some of the external ones in BB have been adapted to platforms to hold Sony broadcast cameras

Can a fellow trade member PM me with a rough ballpark figure on how much these cost?

I've been quite interested in utilising this kind of camera in my line of work as it seems to give you access to all of the Sony block camera controls, very programmer friendly B)

cheers!

...I certainly do... They're made by a company called Forward Vision. Prepare your wallet for an absolute battering... They ain't cheep... No, really... they're NOT!
