Popular Equipment
Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K
£35.00Small and niche but sometimes thats exactly what you need!
Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K (BMMSC) is the perfect solution for placing cameras on set or in vehicles when you don’t have space for regular sized cameras. It has a micro 4:3s sensor that allows a huge choice of lenses that can be fitted, it outputs 4k 12g SDI to an external recorder such as Atomos Shogun or Sumo
Panasonic Lumix 20mm MFT Mount
£25.00Did someone order the 20mm Pancake?
Our LUMIX G 20mm / F1.7 ASPH is a superb pancake interchangeable lens designed based on the Micro Four Thirds cameras which makes it equivalent to 40mm full frame
TV Logic LVM-170A 17″ Monitor
£60.00Keep the director or client quiet & happy with their own 17″ monitor. Our TV Logic LVM-170A 17″ Monitors have been assisting with this task for years.
Sony 18-110mm f4 G Master Zoom Lens
£40.00Sony’s Super 35mm / APS-C format version of its FE 28-135mm F4 OSS lens. This version doesn’t have the the sluggish fly by wire zoom making it better for crash zooming when in manual. We do like that about this lens, however it is better suited for PXW FS7s over the full frame PXW FX9 because of its crop factor. This lens will work on PXW FX6 however only in HD mode, not 4K.
In short this is a great ob-doc standard lens but do check it is suitable for your choice of camera.
Samyang 50mm T1.5 Prime Lens
£25.00Blackmagic Video Assist 4K 7″ Monitor
£25.00A handy 7″ monitor from blackmagic which was ahead of its time
Both a monitor and recorder designed for DSLRs/mirrorless cameras with 2x SD card slots allowing for HD or Ultra HD recording 10-bit 4:2:2 quality ProRes or DNxHD files.
Canon CJ12ex4.3 B4 Servo Zoom Lens
£120.00Featuring 12x zoom and focal length that extends from an exceptional 4.3mm at the wide end to 52mm. Compact and lightweight, it’s the perfect way to bring high-quality 4K resolution to ENG and studio applications. Full frame shooting may be fashionable but when it comes to speed and versatility having a lens that covers the equivilant to 16mm-200mm plus a doubler then there is no match for this lens on a Sony PXW Z750.
Sony 35mm f1.4 G Master Prime Lens
£40.00The FE 35mm F1.4 GM is a must-have for Sony’s E-mount users, in combination with Sony’s camera bodies, it boasts advanced focusing capabilities – perfect for a wide range of uses such as shooting landscapes, portraits and street photography, recommended for both stills and video.
