Equipment
All the Equipment I own is regularly serviced, and is maintained to a high standard. Any additional
equipment required will be hired from a reputable supplier. I have assembled 2 Standard Kit Lists, designed to equip either straightforward, or more advanced productions. At a glance, you can see what will be supplied, which should help with costing your next shoot. Of course, for those shoots that do not fit neatly in to either category, I will customize a kit specifically for your requirements. Read on to see what equipment I have available. Remember that any additional items can easily be hired.
