Cameras
Sony FX3
Our primary cinema camera for most productions. Compact, excellent low-light performance, reliable autofocus, and fast setup for documentary and run-and-gun work.
DJI Osmo Pocket 3
A surprisingly capable micro-camera for quick b-roll, behind-the-scenes moments, and travel shooting when a full rig would slow things down. Excellent stabilization, fast setup, and very usable image quality in good light.
Lenses
Sony FE 50mm F1.4 G Master Lens
Go-to lens for interviews and cinematic shallow-depth shots.
Sony FE 24-70 mm F2.8 G Master Lens
Workhorse zoom covering most vérité, event, and handheld documentary situations.
Sony FE 14mm F1.8 G Master Lens
Ultra-wide option for interiors, establishing shots, and tight spaces with minimal distortion.
Drones
DJI Mavic 3 Cine
Primary aerial platform for professional work. Excellent image quality, strong dynamic range, and dependable flight performance.
All drone flights are conducted by licensed operators and in accordance with FAA regulations.
Audio
Sennheiser AVX ME2 Wireless Lavalier
Used for interviews and run-and-gun situations where mobility matters.
