Equipment
Every film shoot has its own needs regarding the film crew and the equipment kit.
​
I rent out my equipment together with me as a videographer, and also seperately to other filmmakers.
​
As a cameraman with equipment, I can tailor the camera kit to the film productions needs. From videographer setups to drone cinematography and bigger film equipment rentals.
Beeing able to offer my own equipment to my clients comes with a lot of benefits for my customers.​​​​​
Benefits
All in one solution
You get a hassle free complete solution without having to manage multiple suppliers and invoices. Cameraman and film equipment rental is merged into one.
Less prep time
I need less time to prepare the camera gear pre-shoot compared to a solution where I would have to pick up the equipment from a camera rental. This results in lower costs for my clients.
Package deals
As a package with me as a cameraman with equipment, I can offer it to you at attractive rates.
Work-ready
I take good care of my own equipment and make sure that it is properly serviced.
Variety
I own a wide variety of equipment for rent, suiting for various kinds of film productions.
Expert
As I use my own equipment a lot, I am an absolute expert in handling it, which accelerates the process on set.
Equipment list
​For a quick overview of the camera, lighting, grip and audio gear that I have for rent at the moment, I summarized the most important things below. Please note, that this is only an overview where not all available parts are shown.​​​
​​​
For a full detailed list of my gear, please see equipment list.
​
If there are any additional needs for a film production, I can handle organization and pick-up of special equipment at the local Stuttgart camera rentals or organize a delivery solution.​​​​​​
ARRI Alexa Mini
As my camera is my most important work accesory, I decided to go for a premium product that I can rely on in every situation.
​​
The ARRI Alexa Sensor is known for incredible and natural color reproduction especially in the skin tones as well as a huge usable dynamic range.
​​
My Alexa Mini comes with all licenses, including the raw and 4:3 license, which is a very useful feature when shooting content for social media in multiple aspect ratios like 16:9 and 9:16 simultaneously.
​
Camera lenses
​The heart of my lens collection is my 8-piece set of Leica primes which I love because of the beautiful reproduction of skin tones.
​
I also own several other Zoom and prime lenses for E-, EF- and M42-Mount, each fitting for their specific use case.
​
​
Camera peripherals
​Camera peripherals are accessories that can range from simple metal parts for rigging to high-class camera filters or sophisticated technical appliances like a wireless follow focus and wireless video.
​
​
Monitoring
Monitoring is crucial for proper and fast communication with the client, director or other departments.
​
I have Monitors available for rent in different sizes. From small portable Monitors to big color accurate Monitors for the video village.
​
All Monitors can be equipped with a wireless video receiver.
Mavic 4 Pro camera drone
Drone cinematography enables you to get perspectives that you cannot achieve with a regular camera on the ground, which makes drones a very useful tool especially for establisher or landscape shots.
​
The Mavic 4 Pro also brings additional features like 3 different lenses from wide angle to telephoto.
With the active tracking feature the drone follows an object like a car or a person automatically while keeping it in frame at all times.​​
Motion controlled Slider
A camera slider is a great way to get steady camera movement without a huge dolly set up.
​
The cart of my slider is movable either freestyle by hand or via remote control. With the remote control it is possible to program a fixed itinerary that ist reproducable.
​
A very useful feature for macro shots or other effects like dolly zooms.
MöVI M10 Camera-Gimbal
A camera gimbal offers flexibility, while still adding stability to the camera footage. For dynamic steady camera movements, a gimbal is the jack of all trades.
​
The MöVI M10 can take small DSLR-like cameras as well as big setups like the ARRI Alexa Mini with peripherals.
Easyrig Vario 5 with Stabil Arm
An Easyrig is a vest, that is used to reduce the camera weight and increase stability and work speed while operating the camera.
​
Together with the stabil arm, it adds even more stabilty.
​
​
Lights
Proper use of lighting equipment can make a huge difference on how a location or a face is looking.
​
Having different lights in varying intensities and various light formers at my disposal, enables me to choose the right lights for every use case.
Audio
The main part of communication happens verbally and audio equipment is there to capture it.
​
Having clear sound e.g. in an interview is equally important to seeing the interviewee in a properly lit interview set.
Photography / Videography
Sometimes you may need additional high resolution photos of the same scenes that were already shot with the motion picture camera or some separate photography of something different.
​​
For these cases and others I have a high resolution Sony A7 IV photo camera together with various lenses and accesories like mobile battery powered flashes and more.
​
The Sony A7IV is also a great videography setup together with an external monitor/recorder that I have on offer.
Hazer
Haze can add a lot of character and atmosphere to a scene.
A simple tool, that changes the look of a location drastically.
Film Cart
A film cart let's you transport everything you need for a film shoot and keep all the work material organized. A major advantage of using a film cart on set is that it drastically increases transfer times from one location to another.
​
The design of specialized film carts make it very quick to assemble and disassemble.
Miscellaneous
Over the years I have added various tools to improve my work. Sometimes it is the little things that make a good picture like some glass prisms in front of the lens or a light bulb in the background of the image.
​
Or you can go for an analogue vintage look with an original Super 8 film camera from 1970 for unique looking video content.​
