These things are all nice to have when collecting evidence but if you are just starting out or on a budget, you can get by with less.
Besides my trusty flashlights, which I bought at the local Dollar General, I only use a digital voice recorder which I bought at Radio Shack for under $40.00. It came with what I needed to connect it to my computer to download any E.V.P's I captured. I also bought a large Maglite flashlight for $20.00 which not only provides me with more than enough light for dark, unfamiliar places..it is heavy enough to use as a weapon. (that is another story) And while ghosts do not perform on cue, you are more likely to get E.V.P's before any photo evidence.
I also use a Kodak Share digital camera I bought at WalMart for $125.00 and the chip for it which cost me $15.00. It not only takes photos but it also takes video. I can take the chip out of the camera and insert it into my Hewlett Packard printer and load photos and videos to my computer. I bought a pack of rechargable batteries and an $8.00 charger.
And I also have a small backpack to carry my "equipment" around in.
Having a lot of expensive equipment to "lug" around may be nice for some but I prefer to travel light. And if you are just starting out or you are on a budget, start out small. You can always save up and buy the rest of what you want one piece at a time. But my point is..You do not have to invest thousands of dollars to do paranormal investigations.
It doesn't matter how much equipment you have or how many "hot spots" a place has, you are not going to be able to cover them all and there is no guarantee you will capture anything. Most of my best evidence has come from just walking around a place with my voice recorder taking random photos and when I take a photo I always take 3 or 4 of the same spot.
And don't forget to stay safe and never investigate alone.
