What's with the low tech equipment? 

In the modern age, it may seem a little odd to be using  any equipment that doesn't rely on batteries.   Despite what you see on tv, you don't need the latest and greatest in technology, like thermal cameras, to be able to do paranormal investigations well.  Compasses detect electromagnetic fields as well as  emf meters, and good old fashioned thermometers may actually be more accurate than the point and shoot variety of digital thermometers.  They also have an advantage in that they still work just fine when the batteries have suddenly had their energy drained in the other equipment.   It makes sense to use a variety of equipment to detect and capture phenomena in as many ways as possible to compare them against each other.
