FMP - Do we ned all that Kit?

Personally I am a bit apprehensive about the need for so many cameras. Whilst Kiran and I will be doing the majority of the filming throughout the shoots, we will have help from Kirans friend who works at ITV. Zaadil (one of the producers) has studied a film course at Bradford college and is prepared to film the shots which he isn't in. Having said that I can't see four cameras being in use at any one time, furthermore as the kit can not be insured it would be more sensible to limit kit down to what is absolutely necessary. I have already told Kiran that I am not prepared to sign out a HDV Camera that I am not in charge of.
