The Sony 900 camera paired with a Zeiss Digizoom lens and Evertz Fiber optic back was the primary capture device for most episodes.
The fiber optic back delivered monitoring capabilities through paintbox control, HD video feed output, and camera power supply.
The camera and sled assembly weighed approximately 65 pounds or more in total.
At its most compact configuration, the full camera system measured roughly 3 feet in length.
The fiber optic tether required constant management, with multiple crew members sometimes needed to handle the thick cable during operation.

The account comes from a single crew member's memory of events from 2007.
The technical specifications may not be exact recalls.
The setup appears specific to handheld steadicam-style operation on this particular production.
