If you guys could use or have one piece of equipment on an investigation what would it be. ![]()
oh Tim..
such a difficult question.
i have a digital sony cybershot 7.2mp camera, and a digital RCA 128mb voice recorder right now.. i'm extremely happy with both. 😁 i send all my photos through a filter system using AS3 and PhotoShop and another program from my Sony. so i'm very happy as it is.. 😉
what i did do, is last October, i ordered a K2 meter..which never arrived.
after complaining to the popular web site over and over again, for 2 months, i finally received a notice that i was getting my $$ back. 😮 no apology or anything else. darn.. 🙁
what i'd like most right now is a night vision cam, and an emf meter (not the natural one at this time). i'm sure i can put great use to either/both. saving them Canadian loonies! 😉
i'm making my own rods (what Donna uses) via old coat hangers...as i truly enjoy that tool, and have found the more often i'm out on investigations the more sensitive i seem to become. oh, and i'm getting the digital meat thermometer you suggested for temperature measurements! you give swell tips Tim.. thank you!
from there, i'd love to get an ION cannon, and a thermal cam.. but gosh, those are off the scale at this time.. a future investment.
i think my trip this summer to SanFransisco & Lubbuck, Texas definitely comes first. 😆
ok.. that's about it. i really like how you've used the playing cards in past investigations, so i will try to use them as a tool.
oh now i'm dreaming..
hahaha! ok, i best stop and get back to my Russian language homework before i forget completely about it and end up being the last one in class to "get it" completely! 😮

Well after Spook said all that I would really want a night vision cam. She covered alot. But I know I want alot more but even though personal feelings on investagations don't count thats what I go on. I know we need proof but ..well I say yeah night vision I guess Tim.

I want a really cool digital video camera with night vision oh and if it took still shots also that would be cool too..
well as far as I know it is just a figment of my imagination.....but a camcorder with long battery life, the ability to take still images at a good megapixel and has a very niffty ability to switch to Nightshot (with ir illuminator and good enough distance to actually be useful) AND Thermal. If it could act as a voice recorder too and had a built in emf......ya....that's my dream equipment. I dub it the ulitmate paranormal investigation camera.....come on Sony get to it 😆
I would love to have what Devils is talking about. Sounds like the perfect peice.
Instead this is what i use......Never leave home without it.

Mine is definately the Thermal Imaging Camera. To me, that is a very valuable piece of equipment on a paranormal investigation. I would love to see footage of a Thermal Camera during an "all -nighter" at the Stanley Hotel 🙂
camera backpack, to be head mounted with thermal imaging visor!!... I have always been a fan of seeing what the investigator sees

If you guys could use or have one piece of equipment on an investigation what would it be.
Night vision cam with video and still captures so I could still capture evp on the video lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For me now the most needed piece of equipment is a new laptop 🙁 . Mine is about beyond it's life expectancy LOL.
Hey Tim....what was the tip about the digital meat thermometer? Mine sharing it again 😉 .
All:
Good to get back into a forum where folks actually can express themselves civilly while Tim and the other Mods have a head on their shoulders allowing folks to discuss things without fear of 'others' deciding and adjudicating 'intent' of the poster.
Having said that, ... I called FLIR Corp. in Oregon the other day for my University Security Department getting prices and expertise about applications. Discussions touched on the subject of Ghost Hunting. The salesperson I spoke with had indeed assisted the Ghost hunting staff out of Rhode Island on the equipment they now use. The unit I was particularly interested in was one of the $10k price range that is the base unit for Security/Police/Military. This price is almost touchable for me personally, but in a few years, the price should drop to @ $4500. The thermal imaging is a bit pricey as it is limited in distance applications for accuracy and is definitely for specialized operations. Further info can be obtained from FLIR.com
Happy hunting folks, ... and good to be amongst the best on0-line!!!
