The VES Camera Report (VES Technology Committee, camerareports.org) is a free Filemaker database, blank paper PDF and CSV interchange spec whose slate/take fields cover lens (focal length, focus distance, lens height, serial, stop, shutter, tilt, dutch), unit, camera and a 'Set Media' checklist (Balls, Clean Plate, Cube, HDRI, Mocap, Photos, Survey Diagram, Tile Set, Virtual Set, Witness Cam). Its only person field is slate-level 'Wrangler' ('person entering the data'); no verification/checked/status field appears in the spec, proposal, changelog, developer guide or blank form texts read. LIDAR is not a baseline Set Media value, though the spec says other values may be defined.
