We need to buy some equipment for DV productions, mostly filmmaking as well as maybe for music videos, events( ) and commercials.

We already have the following:
Panasonic AG-DVX100
2 Smith Victor Q60-SG 600 Watt Kit
2 Sennheiser Wireless Lapel Mics ew100 ENG
1 Sennheiser Wired Hand Held Mic
Bescor Pro 12AMP Battery Belt for Camera Light
Sony Monitor PVM-8042Q
Manfrotto Pro Cam Tripod with dolly wheels

Now here is what we think we should get:
Boom and Boom Mics
Additional Light Kit (not sure about strength and type)
Cases for Camera and Monitor
Lens/Adapters (zooming, focus, etc) for camera
Jib or Lift
Car Mounts for camera
Steadicam or some sort of system for stabilization
Chroma Key Back Drops with Stands

Do you guys have any experience with any of these? Do you recommend adding or removing something off our "want list"? And what brand/model and even a place that you would recommend buying them from. We would like to get everything from one place to reduce the cost of shipping. We are also open to ebay since we've priced most of this on there.
We dont know which camera kits are the best and would compliment our production well. Also about the lens and adapters for the camera. We want to get the best look out of this DV camera.
Email me at villajeATcinenuesion.com (be sure to change the AT to ?).

We are also seeking a Producer and DP/Cinematographer in Houston. View other postings in WANTED section.

This sounds like the ideal DV shooting kit. I'm still a beginner myself but I've done some research. Check out this link and compare it with your list...

PS if ever I move to the states can I join your production company 😉
