The Oathkeepers are requesting people show up in Virginia tomorrow

If any can, it might be a good idea to show up. ALSO:

I strongly encourage absolutely anyone who has a very powerful camera, especially a P-90 or P-100 to show up and never enter the rally. Your job would be to find a spot where you can see the entire event and get anything that happens on video, and with both of those cameras you can identify people (absent atmospheric disturbances, and there probably won't be many in the winter), the range of those cameras for identifying people is up to 2 miles for the P-900 and 3 miles for the P-1000 provided the photographer is good and the conditions are prime.

It should be possible to get the entire thing captured from a mile away with ease if you can get a clear shot.

Also, those with cell phones - everyone should be recording video or livestreaming FULL TIME. There's no excuse to go in unprepared nowadays. Any digital camera with an optical zoom greater than 20X will be an asset there and the high end Nikons are the absolute champs for this. BRING THE CAMERA if you have a super zoom and obviously if you have a cell, it should be recording full time. The hate America crowd, anyone who's not a "white supremacist" is going to do everything it can possibly get away with, and having a dozen or so P-90's observing from afar, FAR AWAY from the action will totally screw them if they pull anything, and there are lots of less powerful super zooms that could prove to be devastating also.

The importance of such cameras is paramount, there's a reason why they don't want drones there and if you can get a clear shot from anywhere distant you won't need one, the high end nikons will smash most drones. You cannot get away with simply being outside the fence shooting with an inadequate device if they decide to pull something, you need to instead be so far away no one has any clue anyone got a shot. That starts at around 30X and 1080P. There's a pile of cameras out there than can do that. You might not need one of those Nikons to get the job done

If you have any back up USB power supplies have them fully charged and ready to charge your cameras, cell phones might last all day but there are no decent cameras that will and it won't be good enough to not have it going full time.

They banned drones for a reason. They don't want witnesses. Super zoom cameras are the back up and there's a very good chance they'll do the trick, and provide enough intimidation to prevent the gun grabbers from pulling any stunts.

I will repeat: If you have a high end Nikon BRING IT, even if you have to set up on a mountain 5 miles away if you have a clear view a P-90 or P-100 is going to do the job. At that distance you won't be identifying people but you'd sure as hell document a helicopter shooting people up, or the police staging a riot, or whatever, in devastating clarity and you'd get the whole scene.

If you find a prime spot and there's already people there with their high end Nikons, and your camera is not up to that level, USE IT ANYWAY, THE MORE COVERAGE THE BETTER. Also, it might pay off for someone to find a hiding spot from which they can make a video of the photographers who are documenting the scene from a distance, in case the police come to shut them down. If anything is planned, they just might.

Hopefully the day will end boring, with no one capturing anything "good." That's the whole objective of having long range photographers there. Accountability is security.
