Inspection Cameras For Professionals 2018

The Tamron 13VM308ASIRII is a cheap versatile lens for industrial inspection cameras; it is also good for IR. The image is almost as good as the more expensive megapixel version M13VM308. These lenses are also available with auto apertures, which would be useful in variable light conditions with appropriate CCD units.

I own three of these. Some things you just can't do efficiently with a DSLR, the Panasonic CX350 is my go-to. It's a work horse for professionals. We use these cameras for sports, training videos, informational messages from the president, promotional/marketing and also for feeding into a switcher for streaming and recording a 3-camera shoot like commencement. I've used this family of cameras for more than 20 years and transitioned from the DVX100 using mini-DV to the HMC150 using SD cards, and then the AC160, the UX180 and now I'm replacing my DVX200s with CX350s. All of the previously mentioned cameras (11-total) still work just fine, I've never had a problem, never had to send one away for repair.

Everyone has their preferences as to how they carry and store their equipment but it seems most professionals use Pelican cases. For cameras, I prefer a softer bag, but for the various smaller items that need to be protected and organized, I have found Pelican cases are the perfect fit. They are nearly indestructable, waterproof and do a great job of keeping all items from damage.

Absolute game changer. One of those rare cameras for professionals that comes along and tries to do everything and more -- and does it really well. It breaks down barriers previously established by other manufactures and stomps all over every other camera in its weight-class. If you're thinking about it, know that you'd have to be impossible to please if you were disappointed with this model. It's just insane what they were able to accomplish with the S1H. Insane.
