Our Rigs and Gear
We have FOUR innovative custom-built rigs to service client jobs and each has it's own unique personality -so we named them as such! The video kits are designed to offer full television style production with live-switched cameras or professional social videos, lights, pro sound and graphic overlays and can be combined for larger jobs where needed. All rigs fit in compact roller cases so we can rapidly load in and out to facilitate a quick setup. Read about the rigs below and contact us if you'd like to know more!
