Join Sony latest webinar and discover the latest tips for handling video and audio equipment on the move with two of the industry’s leading experts: Russ Malkin and Olly Lambert.

Olly is the multiple award-winning producer/director of Syria: Across the Lines and other hard-hitting news documentaries.

Dave explains the concept of “Make and Take” film-making and Russ discusses how Big Earth is currently capturing the action on Joss Stone’s Total World Tour. Also in this webinar, Olly shares his experiences of making documentaries in war zones from Syria to Gaza, and how to ensure you are properly prepared. Guy Thatcher, managing director of camera facility Hire a Camera also joins the panel to offer advice about the best lenses to use in the field.

•Capturing action in remote and hostile environments
•Being prepared for one-take documentary film-making
•The latest Handy Cams to the smallest Action Cam, what’s the best camera for your shoot?
•Discover what Olly thinks of his new PXW-FS7 – a light-weight, rugged and easy to handle camcorder that produces stunning cinematic images with its 4K Super 35mm sensor; how does this compare to a traditional news camera like the PXW-X200?
•Zooms to Prime lenses – do you pack a general purpose lens or a set for every occasion – what’s practical and what’s mandatory on the road?
•Sound; this is arguably even more important than your pictures – what microphones and field recorders should you use; is a shotgun mic sufficient?
