Distances are camera-to-face for the Pocket 6K in 6K or 5.7K: focal length × frame width ÷ 23.1 mm sensor width. In 4K the sensor crops in, so stand about 1.5× farther back. Full distance guide

  • With six cameras you get A to F; each extra camera adds the next angle in the list.
  • Mount each Tamron 70–200 by the lens’s own tripod foot, not the camera, so it balances.
  • Plan your power: each camera runs 6½+ hours on its two batteries, so a long event day may need a recharge break.

FAQ · 6–11 cameras

Questions about this kit.

Deposits, pickup times and cancellations are on the full FAQ.

Do I need eleven cameras?

Count the faces you need in close-up, then add one or two wides. Six covers a panel of four with a wide and one long lens; nine adds a second long lens and two side angles; eleven adds a profile from each end of the table.

Which lenses come with the kit?

Every camera includes one lens: Sigma 18–35, Tamron 24–70, Tamron 70–200 — or bring your own Canon EF lens. The plan above uses 1 × Sigma 18–35, 4 × Tamron 24–70, 1 × Tamron 70–200; you can change any of them when you build the kit. See all lenses.

How do I keep eleven cameras in sync?

Set every camera to the same frame rate before you start (our preset is 24 fps), start them all, then clap once on camera. DaVinci Resolve, which is free, can also sync clips by their audio.

How big is the deposit hold?

$300 plus $100 per camera over 3 — $600 for six cameras, $1,100 for eleven. It’s a refundable hold on your card, not a charge.

Bring every angle to the stage.
