Estimated price per camera. South African retail prices for the XA60B ranged from about R16,900 to R20,000 in November 2026. The XA60B is sold without the top handle shown in the photo; that handle (HDU-4) adds the XLR audio inputs and the built-in infrared lamp.
About this equipment
The Canon XA60B is a compact professional 4K UHD camcorder with a 20x optical zoom, 5-axis image stabilisation and a dedicated infrared shooting mode for filming in near-total darkness. It records to two SD cards at once, so every investigation is automatically backed up as it is filmed. Two of these will be our main cameras: one following the investigators, one covering the room.
Why we need it
Without proper primary cameras, any unexplained moment we capture is hard to examine properly. Clean, stable 4K footage with a reliable infrared mode lets viewers judge the evidence for themselves.
Models we can accept
We are not insisting on the newest model. A good-condition previous-generation camera is perfectly acceptable.
- Canon XA60B (preferred)
- Canon XA60 (includes the handle unit)
