May 2010

Some new additions this month, we are setting up a section for special effects and have purchased a Jem stage hazer, a breezer fan, a Pea Souper dry ice machine, all suitable for film sets.

We have also got a Steadicam Jnr, which is the older version but becoming very popular again as a stabiliser system for DSLR cameras such as the Canon 5D and 7D.

For communications we have got a set of 5 industry standard Motorola GP320 radios, all on the same frequency and with ear pieces, inline mics and push to talk buttons.
