If available course specific equipment is limited, students on these modules can also use the standard equipment offered. Please note that access to reserve time with this equipment is restricted until the General Equipment Training course is completed.
Booking the cameras
All bookings MUST be placed at least 1 hour before you intend to collect the equipment, and can only be done via the eQuip Online Booking System.
Once logged in with your usual TL username/email, and password, click on the “Faculty of Dance Equipment” menu and select “Film Module Cameras”.
From here, booking Film Module equipment works just like booking any other equipment from the library:
Use the calendar icon and calendar dates to select the day that you’d like the booking to start, and then select the column that relates to the time that you’d like to collect the equipment in the row of the Camera you’d like to borrow.
Ensure that the start time and end time of the booking are correct. Press the Create button and if it comes up with a confirmation message, you’re done!
Tripods, Batteries and SD Cards
Along with a camera, you can also borrow a Tripod and up to two charged batteries. These should be included when you place your booking.
We do not provide SD memory cards with the cameras – if you don’t already have your own SD Card they are available to purchase.
