Dave Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hi All, I was following the "basic package" - "standard kit" thread from a week or two ago, but didn't see any posts regarding what constitutes a "basic bag kit" and appropriate rates for such in Ontario, Canada and whether it's the basically same as U.S., Aus, U.K. How do ENG, Doc and corporate gigs in Canada compare regarding outlining a basic kit/gear package? Thanks for any discussion...very kind :-) Cheers, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 I don't have a standard kit. It will vary from client to client. Sometimes the "kit" may include two wirless but sometime all wireless are a la carte. Sometimes a recorder is included in the kit price and sometimes it is not. The short answer is all gear gets billed for but sometimes that price is lumped into the "basic kit" price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Thanks for responding Jack. Would this be considered a "basic or standard" kit in Canada (or elsewhere) ? Sound Devices 633, SD 302 and 2 track backup recorder, boom mic(s), 2 wireless lavs, camera hop Thanks again. All the best, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldmixer Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Since when has a hop been part of standard kit? I missed the last meeting. Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 dave: " what constitutes a "basic bag kit" and appropriate rates for such " just like in the other thread... it depends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Kennedy Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 +1 on the hop. Gotta charge for that. It's still 2 channels of wireless, whether it's going to the mixer or the camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkautzsch Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Rental houses in Germany usually label something along these lines as a "basic ENG kit". 3 or 4 channel mixer (SQN, 302, 442, ...) ENG length boom 416 or similar, including softie or zep 2 channels of wireless, often G3 with TRAM or MKE-2 lavs 1 set of cans breakout cable Extras billed for would be: more mics, more lavs, wireless hop, and so on. Some throw in a H4n recorder for those DSLR corporate image shoots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
