Equipment

The kit behind the work.

A carefully selected professional camera, lighting, audio and stabilisation setup built for cinematic event coverage.

Production kit

Ready for the room.

Holmes.Visuals uses a carefully selected professional camera, lens, lighting, audio and stabilisation setup to produce high quality event coverage and promotional content.

Camera

The main camera body used to capture every project.

Panasonic Lumix G85

The main camera body behind every Holmes.Visuals project. A weather-sealed mirrorless body with in-body stabilisation, filming at up to 4K with a fully articulated screen for high, low and handheld angles.

Lenses

Versatile glass for wide shots, close-ups and low light work.

Panasonic Lumix 12–60mm

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.

Panasonic Lumix 25mm f/1.7

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.

Zhiyun Weebill S

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.

Feelworld F5 4K 5" Monitor

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.

Yongnuo YN300 Air Pro LED

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.

Ulanzi VL119 RGB Tube Light

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.

Rode VideoMicro Compact

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.

DJI Mic Mini 2

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.

K&F Concept 152cm Travel Tripod

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.

Arca Swiss Quick Release / L Bracket

Standardised quick-release plate system, so the camera moves between tripod and gimbal in seconds instead of being unscrewed and rebalanced mid-shoot.

1/4 inch Camera Adapter

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.

Apple MacBook Air M1

The edit and grade workstation. Every project is cut, colour graded, exported and delivered here, along with backups and file management for each shoot.
