The part about two cameras on tripods shooting (and your follow-up about
a podium mic) seems to assume that ESR is speaking at a podium and
more-or-less staying in one place.  I don't know what kind a speaker he
is, but some folks like to wander around when they talk.  The folks with
the cameras would then have to track him.  Eiher way, a tripod would
definitely be a win in terms of stability of the shot.

IIRC, when Eben Moglen spoke a NCSSM, there was a wireless mic.  As long
as ESR is mic'd, hopefully someone with a camera or audio gear can hook
into the sound board to get a clear audio stream.  If there's a Q&A,
will there be a mic to pass around to the audience?
