>>4122376It’s easier to sneak a shot in an area that doesn’t allow filming if you have a camera that looks like something a tourist would use. If you pull out a fully rigged camera with a matte box and a follow focus unit and a v-mount battery attached to it, people will start questioning what you are doing. If you are shooting a guerrilla-style film in an area where filming is not allowed, the last thing you want people to do is question you about what you are doing.
Pic related: you don’t want a camera that looks like this if you are filming in an area that doesn’t allow people to film stuff w/o a license.
