Are there any universal markings/colors for a camera man?

[Lasivian]

I got a nice Rebel XT I plan on taking out to a few games, and would rather not get shot at, heh.

wear red on your head, and on the camera maybe.. if people see red, they know not to shoot because red is the color of our "death rag"...but im sure u know this

Orange vest.

Orange vest.

Ahh, now that's a good idea.

Red is dead, yeah, but people in red are also considered to be "in-play" to the extent you're watching where they're going dead for info, etc.

Orange would probably be much more "immediately ignored" by everyone.

Dress w/ any color vest BUT one that is camo.  Bright colors work the best, or go for the extreme, and look sorta like a paintballer........ or dont

[XavierMace]

If nothing else works, one of those big inflatable balls should do the trick...

If you plan on only shooting pics instead of a AEG then wear the orange vest like stated and before the game identify yourself in the briefing, then you should be good.

Yes, this has always worked well in the past.  Just be aware of your surroundings, ie dont walk into the middle of a heated firefight  :lol:

Yeah, like the hunters.  Deer and airsofters under the age of 19 are colorblind, though, so watch out.  They might not be able to tell the difference.

ive been the dead horse to be beaten a few times... anxious kids sometimes light me up despite the big red textile draped over my head

[Twitchy Konigkeit]

you could be a combat camra man....ive done it, unless you are worried about the camra, cause i don't like to wear colors so i give away people. but regardless i bet you will be shot sometime or another, despite and orange vest or red rag, i would go with like a red rag, or an oragne hunting beani, because its noticable but doesn't give everything away as much as a big bright orange vest.....but thats just me.

If you get a decent telephoto lens then you won't have to worry about being right on top of the action. I shot with my Rebel at a game with a 300mm zoom and did not even have to be near the shooting.

Aside from standing out, you can't hunt Zebra here so you'd have double protection.

Yea, but if your going to be shooting video or still make sur ethat you at least have a filter on the camera that your not to worried about if it gets hit with a bb.
Just my thought
