Equipment
A carefully selected professional camera, lighting, audio and stabilisation setup built for cinematic music videos, event coverage and promotional content.
Production kit
Holmes.Visuals uses a carefully selected professional camera, lens, lighting, audio and stabilisation setup to produce high quality music videos, event coverage and promotional content.
Camera
The main camera body used to capture every project.
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.
Specifications
Used for
Music videos, event coverage and promotional content.
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.
Specifications
Used for
Events, fast-moving filming and wide performance shots.
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.
Specifications
Used for
Night shoots, close-ups and artist performance frames.
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.
Specifications
Used for
Tracking shots, orbits and movement-led music video sequences.
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.
Specifications
Used for
Checking focus, framing and exposure while filming.
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.
Specifications
Used for
Key lighting for performances, portraits and darker locations.
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.
Specifications
Used for
Coloured accents, rim light and background looks.
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.
Specifications
Used for
Reference audio and event atmosphere.
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.
Specifications
Used for
Speeches, dialogue and behind-the-scenes content.
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.
Specifications
Used for
Locked-off shots, establishing frames and static setups.
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.
Specifications
Used for
Switching between tripod and gimbal quickly on set.
Standard 1/4 inch mounting adapter used to attach lights, monitors and other accessories to the rig in different configurations.
Specifications
Used for
Mounting accessories to the camera setup.
Editing

The edit and grade workstation. Every project is cut, colour graded, exported and delivered here, along with backups and file management for each shoot.
Specifications
Used for
Editing, colour grading and delivering finished videos.
