Re: HDX900 crew rates and rental pricing

If you have a HD lens and plenty of camera support I'd suggest keeping up with the national average for a HDX 900 camera crew at 2,250 and more if you're bringing more HMI's or specified equipment. All the reputable HDX 900 camera crews are doing a affordable, yet professional service for their clients. I'd stand your ground on rates as the amount of money going into a HDX 900 camera includes partially: quality HD lens - 9,000+ and up (for a non-wide angle), HD Monitor, professional tripod, camera mic, tripod plate, high capacity costlier batteries, mattebox, lighting package and sound package + crew labor. The rentals costs for the gear alone exceed 2,250, plus insurance and the other costs we have as professional HDX 900 camera crew. Stand your ground, as 2,250 is a more than reasonable rate for a HDX 900 2 person camera crew. Sorry for a staunch tone, for all fellow HDX 900 'afficionados'/camera crews we deserve the rate.
