Thoughtfully Tailored. Ready to Shoot.
We don't just rent cameras — we put together complete, ready-to-shoot packages so you can focus on the work, not the gear list.
Why Builds?
A camera body on its own isn't ready to shoot. It needs power, media, protection, and depending on the job — rigging, monitoring, and audio. Instead of leaving you to piece all that together, we do it ahead of time.
Every build is put together from parts we've actually used on shoots. The cage fits the body. The batteries match the power draw. The cards handle the codec. You show up to set with a package that works — not a box of parts that might.
Every Detail Considered.
When we pick parts for a build, we're asking the same thing a working DP or camera tech would: what do I actually need on set today?
Everything is checked for compatibility — right cage, right cables, right power. No adapters for adapters. We include enough media for a full day at the camera's native codec, not one card that fills up after two takes. Power is sized to actual draw — compact cells for a stills setup, high-capacity packs for a cinema rig.
Tiered for Your Production.
Not every shoot needs the same amount of gear. A solo photographer needs a different setup than a full cinema crew. That's why our camera builds come in three tiers — Stills, Indie, and Cine — each one built for a different kind of shoot.
Each tier builds on the one below it. An Indie Build has everything in the Stills Build, plus the extras you need for a small crew. A Cine Build has the full Indie package plus monitoring, filtration, and proper rigging. You never pay twice for the same gear, and you can step up or down to match what the job actually calls for.
The Builds.
Pick the tier that matches how you shoot.
Stills Build
The starting point. A Stills Build is the camera body with what you need to power it, protect it, and start shooting — nothing more. Great for photo shoots, run-and-gun solo work, or when you already have support gear and just need a solid body package.
- Camera body in a cage built for it
- Multiple batteries and a multi-bay charger
- Enough media cards for a full day of shooting
- Card reader for fast offloads
- Compact and easy to travel with
Indie Build
Everything in the Stills Build, plus the rigging, power, and audio you need to run a real production with a small team. Perfect for documentary, corporate, music video, and indie narrative work.
- Everything in the Stills Build
- 15mm rod-based shoulder or baseplate rig
- Bigger batteries with external power
- On-camera microphone or portable field recorder
- Additional media for longer shoot days
- Rigging to mount accessories without crowding the body
Cine Build
The full rig. A Cine Build takes the Indie package and adds a monitor, a matte box for filtration, more power, and the accessories that keep you comfortable on long shoot days. Built for narrative, commercial, and high-end work.
- Everything in the Indie Build
- On-camera monitor for focus and exposure
- Matte box with filter stages for ND and diffusion
- Follow focus for precise lens control
- Shoulder pad and handgrip kit for handheld work
- Additional batteries for all-day power
- Arms and mounting hardware
Kits & Sets
Not every build is a camera package. We also put together lens sets, filter kits, and accessory bundles that people commonly rent together — so you don't have to build a kit from individual items.
- Lens Sets — matched prime or zoom sets in one mount, packed in a dedicated case
- Filter Kits — ND, diffusion, or diopter sets grouped by strength and size
- Accessory Kits — battery + charger bundles, media kits, rigging packages
- Upgrade Kits — add-ons that extend an existing rig with a matte box, follow focus, or better handgrips
Each Tier Builds on the Last.
Camera builds are layered. A Cine Build has everything in the Indie Build, which has everything in the Stills Build. You never pay twice for the same gear, and you can step up or down a tier depending on what the job needs.
Because each tier is priced as a package, builds cost less than renting the same items one by one. Right gear, better price, ready to go.
