Lighting
Hire was at the core of our company from the very beginning and we back
up our gear with a rigorous maintenance schedule. Whether you are
looking for a couple of units on a one day hire or a complete
studio fit out, we offer you the same high degree of attention to
detail and service. Lamps are offered for hire in
Daylight, Tungsten, LED and Fluoro fittings. These units are all supported
with a large range of stands and rigging for every possible situation. Electrical distribution can be supplied along with simple or complex
dimming control. The equipment you are hiring has been fully tested to
comply with Electrical Standards.
With years of practical "on set experience" we can offer you solid
advice in getting the best out of the equipment we supply.
Grip Gear from Grip Factory Munich forms the backbone of our rental equipment. Our range of Dollies can run either on pneumatic wheels over smooth surfaces or be used in combination with our GFM track. Using kits such as the Combi Rig and Grip Kit we can help you put the camera almost anywhere. The sliding U-Bangi in either 1 or 2 metre mode allows you to track the camera without laying track. Our Minijib System uses Weka Legs for a great combination of versatility and strength. Heavy duty ladders and mounts give easy access to high angle shots while still being compact enough to fit in a van or station wagon.
Effects Gear such as Hazers and Smoke Machines, Ladders and Safety equipment along with many other tools of the trade are also available. If you are looking for effects on a larger scale we can direct you to local suppliers experienced in snow, wind and fire along with pyrotechnics.
Our Sales area stocks a large assortment of expendales including Gels, Gaffer Tapes, Bulbs and Support Gear. We are also a Dealer for the following brands: RWD, Harrison Filters, Cardellini Clamps.
A fully equipped Studio situated on site adjoining our rental department is ideally suited to Photographic Stills, Table Top Shoots and Digi Screen Set Ups as well as projects requiring 180 degrees of Black Drape.
