Lenses
Versatile glass for wide shots, close-ups and low light work.
The everyday zoom. Covers wide establishing shots through to tighter framing without a lens change, which keeps event and run-and-gun filming moving quickly.
Fast prime used for the more cinematic frames. The wide aperture gives a shallow depth of field with soft background separation and holds up well once the light drops.
Stabilisation
Motorised support for smooth cinematic movement.
Three-axis motorised gimbal used for the moving shots — walking tracking shots, orbits, low-mode passes and smooth reveals that hold steady while the camera is in motion.
Monitoring
External monitoring for accurate framing, focus and exposure.
On-camera monitor that makes framing and focus far more reliable than the camera screen alone, with focus peaking and exposure tools to keep every shot clean on set.
Lighting
Portable LED and RGB lighting for controlled and creative looks.
The main light on location. Bi-colour output that can lift a subject out of a dark room, add a key light to a performance or match the existing colour temperature of a venue.
RGB tube used for the creative side of the lighting — coloured rim light, background wash and neon-style accents that give a shot a distinct look on camera.
Audio
Directional and wireless audio capture for clean production sound.
Compact directional shotgun microphone mounted on the camera. Captures cleaner on-location sound and atmosphere than the internal microphone, with a shock mount to reduce handling noise.
Wireless microphone system used when spoken audio matters — speeches, host segments, behind-the-scenes talking and any moment where the camera is too far away for on-camera sound.
Camera Support
Stable support for locked-off and static shots.
Travel tripod for the shots that need to sit completely still — establishing shots, static performance frames, timelapses and long exposures, with a ball head for quick repositioning.
Accessories
Mounting and quick-release accessories that keep the setup flexible.
Standardised quick-release plate system, so the camera moves between tripod and gimbal in seconds instead of being unscrewed and rebalanced mid-shoot.
Standard 1/4 inch mounting adapter used to attach lights, monitors and other accessories to the rig in different configurations.
Editing
The editing workstation used for cutting, grading and delivery.
The edit and grade workstation. Every project is cut, colour graded, exported and delivered here, along with backups and file management for each shoot.
