Got the Steadycam; Now I Need the Camera and Shotgun Mic!

As-salaamu alaikum,

Alhamdulillah, I was able to get Ali's steadycam and the two main things that are left are the Canon HV20 camera and a shotgun mic.

For the camera, I recently encountered a problem. The brother who was supposed to get it had second thoughts on getting it now and that is causing problems of course. While the shotgun mic is kinda easy to get, the camera is not that easy without the money to buy it.

The plan was this: go to a place where we can buy the camera, use it for less than one month and return it for a full refund. That way we end up saving money for using something like a camera. Is it being deceptive? No, we are not 'lying' about why we are getting the camera, we are taking advantage of what is allowed under the policy of that store. But the brother said that he can do it (with conditions) after the beginning of Ramadan. I want (and still plan to insha Allah) film it before Ramadan, so it would make it easier on us.

We'll see. My next step is basically trying to find people who can get the camera because the mic is not a problem to get (kinda).

Make du`a for us folks...
