Current Camera Kit inventory includes:
Sony FX9 Full Frame Camera
Sony’s feature packed new 6K full frame camcorder delivers stunning visuals, crisp, highly defined images and subtle cinematic look thanks to a combination of the 6K sensor and Sony’s newly developed S-Cinetone colour space. Enhanced usability through dual-ISO and a host of frame rates make this new camera a stunning addition to any documentary shoot my favourite career camera to date.
Canon CN7x17 PLMount Cine Zoom
The PL Mount Canon CN7x17 fits hand in glove with the Sony FX9 and provides versatility in a range of production scenarios with absolutely zero compromise of image quality. Perfect for ENG style documentary work, the CN7’s rugged but comparatively lightweight form factor combines with it’s 11-blade iris and versatile focal range to provide the perfect high-end lens option.
Carl Zeiss CP.2 Super Speed Prime Lenses
From 21mm through to 50mm macro and up to 135mm the Zeiss CP.2 Super Speeds are a stunning PL Mount option for the FX9 and FX6 – providing a beautiful organic ‘prime’ look to any production. Shallow depth of field from the impressive T1.5 aperture allow great low light performance, and beautiful bokeh – when time and production suit, the CP.2s are a lovely set of lenses.
DZOFilm Catta FF Zoom Kit (18-35mm / 35-80mm / 80 - 135mm)
When Full Frame acquisition meets Zoom Lens adaptability, the DZO Film Catta full frame zooms are a great option. The three lenses, an 18-35mm / 35-80mm and 70-135mm make a great choice for observational documentary work while still making use of the FX9 full frame sensor. Am a big fan when used with the Croziel Zoomer for traditional servo zoom control – a great cine-look option when zoom lenses are needed.
Freefly MoVI Pro
The MoVI Pro’s selling point strap-line is Powerful, Versatile and Reliable. And in conjunction with the Sony FX6 camera body and either Zeiss CP.2 Primes or Sony zoom lenses, this three axis gimbal system provides a rugged and durable platform for movement of any type. From super smooth walkthroughs to vehicle tracking, added with the Atomos Inferno external recorder for 4K RAW super slow motion, this set up is an ideal addition to any type of production. As with all other kit, available in a full fly away option.
Canon HJ18x27 ENG Zoom Lens (28-500mm)
Despite my love of PL mount lenses on the F55, the HJ18 is a definite favourite since I picked this one up a while ago. Used on the F55 with the renowned IBE Optics HD35 B4 mount adapter this lens offers a stunning 28mm – 500mm focal range (before engaging any optical doubler / digital centre crop) and is a joy to use filming in any sports / long lens acquisition scenario.
