Our Club has decided to improve filming for demonstrations, we are thinking of an overhead camera and side camera with 2 monitors so guess some sort of device to switch from one camera to the other  also supporting overhead camera . Any advice or experience of type of equipment/set up would be a great help .Have budget of aprox £1k

Get as many teenagers enrolled as possible LOL.
Sorry, no practical help though sure someone will have some.

One possibility is a CCTV system that will allow you to switch between cameras. I set one up for my club four or five years ago.

I'm currently in the process of upgrading the camera set up at our own chapter. Currently its one camera on a tripod with a long amr on it, no zoom and camera is usually out of focus. (It drives me daft!)

I'm planning on making a gantry to hang over the lathe. Going to put 2 6000K LED battens, one front and one back facing down to the lathe at about 45*. 2 new cameras, Sony CX-405's are plenty good enough. One looking down over headstock and the other on an adjustable arm at the tailstock end. Both wired back to a double socket on the gantry. New tv cabanit with 2 tv's, located near the headstock and viewable from the demonstrator too. Both cameras will have wireless remote zoom. I'll also be able to record from both, but I do all recording from my own cameras on tripod.

I'm planning this system so that we can unmount the cameras and use them along with tv's if we do a demonstration away from home base.

I've attached a sketch of what's in me head (stop laughing down the back there!)
