Not sure I'd ever travel anywhere that requires a yellow fever shot (wow is all I can say) but ...

This sounds like a good list.

Things I might add if budget isn't an object or depending on the requirement

Good quality stereo Mic and maybe some directionals, I like AKG professional products but schure makes some great and small solutions for this.


You might want a data ready space based phone something like an irridium or what ever the current equivalent is. Rates have dropped on these used to be 2 bucks a minute or so but I believe this has dropped. Data rates not sure. We have an internet and phone solution in my plane and that's pretty affordable, something like that should exist for when you leave the cities.

You also might want something old school like a portable DAT device that has very high recording quality in case you get in to say a musical environment and want to capture some of the local flavor with out compression.


I'd say AK47 for some of these regions but that's just the sheltered spoiled American in me speaking.

Good luck and please definitely provide the list links. I'd be interested in listening to something like this. Spoiled Sheltered American comments aside, I do love traveling and have also worked in electronic news gathering in college so have some familiarity with what you're trying to do although my first hand knowledge is definitely dated.

Thank you
Scott

Hi Again,

Here is how i will be equipped:

-Cane
-yellow fever shot

Iphone 4
Macro and fish eye lenses
Micro bluetooth keyboard

The apps i will be holding as well as methods of broadvasting will be as follows:

Facebook app
Photoshop express
Camera plus with the shutter as volume button
Twitter and tweet pic
-drop box
-blue firey

I've set up my wordpress blog to take email based blog entries with video and image plugins included in the backend.
Thats xhtml and atom protocols for you.

For audio, i will probably use drop box which itself will upload to the right directory via an ftp daemon i plugged in transmit which itself adds up to an xml based player on the blog.

I don't know if i am missing something. Oh, yes. The rwandan telecommunications level of industrialisation has allowed for 3g to be widespread, at least within the capital area, Kigali. But who knows what surprises i might get once there.

Anyhow, i think this is a good, portable setup i can use for mobile journalism.

Hope that somewhat helped

Yuma DX®
