Re: Day Rates for Cameramen in Network TV

Nice idea, Danny, but...

Response to this request for information sharing needs to stay small and very low profile. Otherwise it begins to border on violating the anti-trust laws regarding price fixing. You can survey a group of shooters on their fees and publish the results, you cannot get a group of shooters together and set a price you will all, by agreement, charge.

That said, a friend of mine working in Washington doing network news gets $1,050/day with gear. Without gear it's $450 for an 8 hour day.
