Title: Equipment?
mnpsg_adam - July 3, 2005 08:50 PM (GMT)
What kind of equipment are you using on your investigations?
So far, MNPSG has been pretty low budget. Usually we take:
- 2 - 3 cameras
- 1 flashlight per member
- 2 spotlights
- a notebook
- cell phones with brew tech programs for weather and time
That is our cemetery investigation items. We also have an EMF someplace but I have misplaced it during our last move. :( Might have to order another one soon.
We have a camcorder also but never really use it for ghost hunting. Although I should start.
We also have a digital voice recorder but that too has gone astray. We bought it and found out that we couldnt hook it up to a PC so that was a downside. I might get another one soon and use the tape loading ones rather than digital.

dude , in all honesty , stay low budget. look at taps . they got all this high tech. shit , and they really never get anything when they go out. a camera , a recorder , and a flashlight is really all you need. you dont need an emf meter. trust your feelings instead. looking back when C.P.R. was extremely low budget , thats when we got our best stuff. plus it seems now that it was more fun back then , when i wasn't carrying so much stuff. like i said stay low budget , your better off.

My new friend (coworker actually) and I's plan for observation is a digicam, film camera and her recorder. Plus flashlights and cellphones because we're girls and can't survive without our phones.
Anyhow, yeah. Dont' know how it's going to work yet. We don't have a day off together for a long time.
