I just calculated how much Beast Games camera equipment costs for 1 episode

I just calculated how much Beast Games camera equipment costs for 1 episode. You're not gonna believe it.

So starting with MrBeast's personal camera and the 28 ground cameras for close ups. With all the add ons, they are about +$140,000. But that's before another +$60,000 in lens and zoom options for the cameras.

For wide angle shots they have 35 Sony FX9 cinema cameras costing another +$350,000. Then there's 10 remotely operated Pan Tilt Zoom cameras worth another +$100,000.

Some contestants are given 20 DJI Osmos (+$10,000) to vlog. But there are also 400 GoPros ($140,000) hidden around the ground, paired with +$50,000 in powerbanks.

By the way, all this footage is recorded on to +$270,000 in hard drives, backed up by a +$1.5 million dollar server. Finally we have the DJI drones (+$10,000), sky camera (+$100,000), and 8 box cameras with a crazy zoom range (+$800,000). But the production likely rented instead of buying. And from my experience the cost to rent per day is 5% of the purchase price.
