Camera and equipment rental in Egypt
Shipping a full camera and lighting package into Egypt costs time and money. We source and prep the gear locally, check it with your camera team, and deliver it to set with the technicians who know it.
What we can supply
Cinema camera packages and lenses, monitoring and video village, lighting from small LED kits to large HMI and tungsten units, grip and rigging, dollies, cranes and car mounts, drones with licensed pilots, generators and power distribution, and sound kits.
Tell us the camera, lens set and lighting list your DOP wants. We confirm availability in Cairo and quote the package, or suggest equivalents if a specific item is not available on your dates.
Local hire or bring your own?
Most productions combine both: the camera body and favourite lenses travel with the DOP, and lighting, grip and power are hired here. That saves excess baggage, carnet costs and customs time. If you do bring equipment, we handle the import paperwork through the Egypt Film Commission.
Gear for desert, heat and sea
Sand, heat and salt are hard on equipment. For desert units we plan covers, cooling, spare batteries and power; for the Red Sea and boats we plan marine-safe rigging. Our camera and lighting technicians have worked these conditions for years.
Drones
Drone filming in Egypt needs separate approvals. We arrange the drone, the pilot and the permit together so aerials are legal and on schedule.
