Thanx Dan,

So live streaming of big players seems to be the demand. Right-i-o. In Monte Carlo we announced that the Final would be live streamed just 2 hours before it happened and had 500 viewers! Viewers could not see the dice on the far side of the board, the camera was incorrectly angled for easy viewing yet those 500 viewers remained.

We now have live streaming better set-up (though had a technical hitch last weekend) and will be able to add in vocal commentary as well so things are looking up in that department.

Re kit used: This is as much as I know: Camera & 2 X 16G SXS Power supply/battery charger Camera bag 1x long-life battery 1x short life battery Fluid Head Tripod Shot gun mic, XLR & Boom pole Reporter light & reflector Radio Mics Small lighting kit

It was a "Full shooting kit" supplied by a hire company. As such I don't think it can be called rudimentary. The fee certainly wasn't. Note: Filming is not a cheap excercise. There's no way it could be paid out of registration fees so this is a sector that needs sponsorship. That's accessable here in Europe but currently is only a tiny possiblity in the US.
