Official Tight Budget Photo/Video Thread

Hey Guys!!

After some posts I made last week. I got some FMs in regards to Real or Tight Budget Vendors. I know that I have FMd most (if not all) back but I thought I would post here in case anyone else can contribute.

To clarify this is for a Tight Budget for Photo and Video. That means only post about places that would be $1500 - $1600 or less for both photo and video. If it´s a company that only does one of the two then It would be $800 - $900 or less.

Long story short, I am in South America so can´t physically go in and see the vendors but am doing tons of research and so get a lot of leads. I will post all the info I have and I need for anyone who goes in to see them to PLEASE post your experiences with them. Also if you have your own recomendations please post as well. (if you prefer to fm me that´s fine)

At someones request we are calling this an 'Official' Thread. I don´t want to step on anyones toes since I know there is an Official Budget thread already. The point was brought up that while that is good for general info, vendor specific threads needed to be made as well.

This is who I booked and so far they have been great.

The price is around $1200 I think, not $900. I am NOT 100% sure.

But I have been very happy with them so far. Very good experience!
