Popular Equipment for Television and Film
Television and film builds rely on quiet, colour-stable lighting, clean audio capture, accurate monitoring and robust infrastructure that stands up to long shoot days.
- Lighting – LED soft panels, Fresnels, profiles, pixel bars, battery fixtures and networked control for flicker-free, colour-accurate output. Representative brands include ETC, Robe, Martin, Ayrton and GLP, with control from grandMA and ChamSys. Many buyers also request ARRI, Litepanels and Aputure where available.
- Audio – RF systems, shotgun and lavalier mics, mixers, recorders, IFB/comms and nearfield monitors for dialog-first capture. Brands often include DiGiCo and Yamaha for consoles, plus Shure and Sennheiser for wireless, and d&b audiotechnik or L-Acoustics for monitoring environments.
- Video – LED volumes and fine-pitch walls for VP/XR, IMAG, projectors, switchers, media servers, routers and clocking. Look for ROE Visual, Absen, Barco, Brompton, Novastar and Disguise, alongside infrastructure for multi-camera studios and OB.
- Rigging – Grids, truss, hoists, stands and ground-support for safe, repeatable overhead and floor solutions. Typical brands include Prolyte, Litec, Thomas and CM Lodestar, with rated hardware and accessories.
- Power & Distro – Clean power, cable and distro sized for studio loads and location work, with UK and international options for global shoots.
