Our gear
What we bring to a shoot.
Good gear doesn’t make a good video on its own, but it helps. Here is what turns up with us for an interview, an event or a day on location, and what each piece is for.
On set
Lit, framed and in focus.
A real set-up from a clinic shoot: one camera, two soft lights and a monitor so everyone can see the shot.
- Sony FX3Our main cinema camera, small enough to set up in a tight room.
- Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM IIWide enough for the whole room, long enough for a close-up, without changing lenses.
- SmallRig 220B with softboxOne large, soft light does most of the work on a face.
- Lantern softboxLifts the whole room evenly, so the background isn’t left dark.
- Accsoon wireless monitorSo you and your team can check the shot before we roll.
On the move
Walking shots that glide.
For tours, events and anything that won’t stand still, the camera comes off the tripod and onto a gimbal.
- Sony FX3The same camera as on the tripod, so the footage matches.
- Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM IIOne lens that covers wide shots and close-ups while we keep moving.
- Lens filterCuts bright daylight so movement still looks natural.
- DJI RS 4 Pro gimbalMotors cancel out footsteps, so walking shots glide.
