What Camera Do We Use for Hacker News Nation?

Quite often we get asked “What camera do you use?”

Here’s a rundown of our equipment. This is the basic setup that we use to make our Hacker News Nation show, and the One Month Rails screencasts.

Canon 6D – $2,433 for the kit / $1,399 body only
Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920, 1080p – $99
40mm pancake lens – $199 (see episodes 1-15)
Zeiss ZE Planar T* 50mm F/1.4 Lens for Canon EOS Cameras – $725 (we went a bit overkill on this, I’d probably just recommend the pancake lens above for $199. But somewhere around episode 20 we started using this and loved it too much to stop).
Lighting – $100 (Wistia’s Down & Dirty Lighting Kit)
Adobe Premier for Audio & Video Editing
Quicktime Player – Free on a Mac. We use this to record the sidecam view.
Magnus VT-4000 Tripod with Fluid Head – $149
