Back in stock! ARRI bags from Vocas. Available in three different sizes (small, medium and large).
This is the standard for using the ARRIFLEX 416 with an additional power supply. Our friends from @elokuvakonepaja were able to create an adapter for our ARRIFLEX 416's so that it can used with an extra battery. No more fiddling with adapter plates and cables.
The adapter changes the volt from 12 to 26 and it comes with a D-Tap and Lemo 2pin port on the side.
In the future this will also become available for the ARRIFLEX 235 and the ARRICAM LT. We'll keep you updated!
On Instagram we show even more about what we are up to. Are you following us already?

Following the updated Covid-19 regulations that the government has set for Amsterdam we have updated our guidelines for coming to and working in our office.
Besides the mandatory 1.5m distance and disinfecting of hands before entering the work floor, from now on we kindly ask you take the following into consideration:
- Wearing a face mask is compulsory in the entire office. You can remove your mask while sitting down or while testing in one of our testbays.
- One person per testbay is strictly enforced. Larger tests will be split over multiple bays.
- We aim to divide testing into a morning and afternoon shift, in order to make sure we do not exceed the maximum amount of people in the office.
- Disposable face masks will be provided if you do not have your own.
... and we still have great coffee! ☕
Any questions about coming to the office, your shoot or you just wanna chat? Call our office or send us an email!

News from our office! As the regulations from the government are getting increasingly more flexible we have decided to go back to our regular opening hours.
From Monday the 6th of July we will opened Monday to Friday from 08:00 - 19:00. More time to pick up your gear, test your equipment in one of our testing rooms or to come by for some advice.

Hope to see you soon! 👍

It feels like ages ago that we hosted our very first Camalot Cinema Challenge. We really hope to organise it again at the end of this year! 🍿

As the COVID-19 situation continues, so does the need to be able to live stream.
With live streaming products from i.a. Teradek and Blackmagic Design you can continue working by monitoring your shoot remotely, allowing you to send an encrypted feed live from the camera on set to a remote production office, home or other location.
With most of these streaming sets you can also stream directly to online video platforms like Facebook Live, YouTube Live, Periscope and Twitch.
Call our office or send us an email if you want to know more or if we could help you out with your set-up! ☝️
We have been busy the last couple of weeks, making our office Corona-proof. The prime minister just announced that the regulations, that are applicable for us, will be continued. That’s why we have taken some measures to not only make our office Corona-proof but also to make your shoot as smooth and comfortable as possible.
✔ Are you renting a camera from us? Then you will be given free eye-cushions. As many as you need for your shoot.
✔ Are you renting a full camera package (camera, lenses and a monitor) from us? Then we will provide you with a video transmitter set, including 1 receiver per monitor (up to 4 max.). Completely free of charge.
✔ And last but not least… All our clients can pick up free reusable face shields at our office. They are inspired by Apple and handmade in our office.
All these freebies are available as long as the Corona regulations from the government continue.
