Equipment: safety first No big news is bigger than your camera! Camera is your child; treat it as such Keep it with you; security checking or in bumpy roads, it rests on your lap, inside a protective bag Don’t walk away leaving camera on a tripod Develop a habit of packing gears in a specific order

Be attentive!! If you leave your equipment in a restaurant, on a bus, taxi or outside libraries, you will have less chance of getting them back, depending on how secured society you live in.  Don’t do this!! If you carry your camera freehand and something surprises or suddenly frightens you, you will probably drop it.  Don’t do this!! If you don’t manage the cables while or just after filming, you will probably entangle with those cables.  Don’t do this!!

First Aid Kit Prepare a first add kit for your team when you go for reporting with your gears! Don’t be stubborn or over confident in taking risk like climbing towers, visiting construction sites, filming nearby cliffs or riverbanks. At least follow security measures and wear essential overcoats, helmets, boots, masks, etc. as required, while filming under unusual sites such as construction sites.

Borrowing equipment! You may be allowed to borrow one or multiple of gears for your individual assignments, group projects or ECAs, but make sure you return within the due date, because other candidates will be waiting for their turn. Borrowing equipment from universities is similar as renting them from the market! Except that universities often do not charge money from the burrowers! BUT THE FINES ARE APPLIED OVER DAMAGES AND/OR CROSSING THE RETURING DEADLINES. Signing up for the equipment means that you agree to cover all the damages to the equipment, if any.
