Renting equipment
It might be worth thinking about covering the costs of renting equipment for specific activities - for example, Calumet offer a lot of photography equipment to rent. I suspect it's better to do this via microgrants rather than having a standard offer, though - particularly as the costs mean that this is mostly best suited to bespoke equipment that won't have regular usage (e.g. Calumet quote £66/day for use of a Canon 60D, which is only cost-effective if it doesn't need to be used for more than ~10 days). I'm suggesting this because I noticed Wikipedia:WikiProject London/Wiki takes the Tube where WMUK's SLR was booked relatively quickly. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:53, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
New Equipment?
We are looking for input on volunteer equipment. Specifically photography and AV equipment.
Here is a list of current equipment we have:

We’d ideally strive for some kind of balance between quality and quantity, but are not averse to a big ticket item if it will facilitate a specific piece of work. But ideas suggested to me by volunteers and other Wikimedians so far have been:
- More lapel microphones (to record panel events etc)
- Shoulder rig
- Video light box.
- Filters.
- Extra batteries and memory cards.
- A bigger telephoto lens
- A handy audio recorder
- A camera drone
- A selfie stick
We have a budget of £1000. If as part of the suggestions, people could also look at prices and possible good value vendors, that would be helpful too.
