Examples from our portfolio

A studio gallery scene (Endeavour). We built this gallery in the control room of a modern TV studio in Harrow, which was used as the location. We installed the monitors fed from live cameras in the studio giving complete realism. All the cameras had to be genlocked so there were no sync problems on camera.

    Our Story

    We have been hiring vintage equipment to the film, TV, exhibition and theatre industries for over 30 years. Picture was taken on 'This Morning' (Granada) in the 90s. Sir David Frost kindly posed for  the photo on the set dressed with our equipment.  The cameras they used in the studio are now part of our collection!

    Hire and Services

    Our work - your project

    We believe in working with clients to make what they have visualised appear on the screen or set. We understand the pressures of the modern filming environment and while we have the knowledge to advise in getting period details right, we realise that it is the director's or designer's vision that really matters. Not to mention the budget!

    Our support

    We can provide some props such as radios or TV sets on a 'dry hire', but for items such as TV cameras which have rarity, operational and possibly safety issues, we need to provide technical support. We can also provide technical support in terms of camera operation, video preparation for playbacks and customised props. We are happy to discuss your requirements and provide pictures of suitable options. Contact us below for more details.
