You may consider partnering with a NYC production company in NY that can provide both your cameras and a small lighting and grip package transportable on a Magliner dolly. This works best getting in and out of most building in NYC and bigger venues like Javtis.
Not sure if you need a L&G truck unless you have a budget for a bigger crew.
If you’re filming a live event you’ll most likely use the event lighting and can supplement with a few battery powered LEDs for interviews.
The production company should own one-two 4K cameras and help you rent the other 2 cameras and would be helpful with obtaining film permits if needed, COI for the buildings etc..
We’re pretty booked up already for April but as you know there are tons of production companies in NYC that could film Monday in NY and drive to DC on Tuesday.
Good Luck,
