PROFESSIONAL.

AFFORDABLE.
Whilst this gear is equal to what you can find in the big smoke, you will find my rates quite affordable. In fact, most elements are cheaper than a metropolitan service charge. My rates haven’t changed in the last few years, whilst everything else has gone up. Why? I do this to promote and support our local film industry.
SUSTAINABLE.
I’m here to build long lasting business relationships to mutual benefit.
I continuously reinvest into latest technology and equipment to offer you the best possible options.
I value OH&S principles and safety in the workplace.
All my production batteries are rechargeable, and there is quite a lot of them 😉
