How much does it cost to hire a camera?
The rate depends on which camera you want and what lenses you want with it. Our camera packages routinely come with a charger, sufficient batteries to more than cover a day’s shooting, a Sachtler tripod, a card reader and sufficient cards for a day’s shooting. And the lenses of your choice.
Click the Get A Quote button anywhere on our website or email info@atlastelevision.com and let us know which camera model and lenses you want and during our Dubai office hours (Sunday to Thursday) we will aim to respond within one hour.
If you need other kit list that as well.
Other things to consider are insurance – if you’re hiring equipment only – and filming permission. If you are hiring a crew with equipment, insurance is included. If you are hiring equipment only, depending on the value of the kit we will need to see a copy of your policy if you have coverage for hired in equipment or we can provide insurance for an additional fee subject to the terms of our policy.
Filming permission. We can help secure permission for you if needed.
Our website page Hiring From Atlas has more information on this.

Equipment Questions

I need to light one person for an interview. What are the best lights to use?
The best person to ask about lighting preferences is your cameraman. Most will have a clear idea of what they like to use depending on the location. Atlas carries a good range of lights for lighting interviews so should be able to accommodate at least most requests.
The lighting cameraman we work with most often have two preferred options for single subject interviews:
2x Kino Celeb LED 201 Lights2x Dedo lights with dimmersAnother Option:2x Astra Litepanels
2x Dedo lights with dimmersAtlas carries a range of other lights that can be used for interviews as well. They include:Kino Flo 4-Foot, 4-Bank
Diva LightsArri fresnel lights: 300-watt, 650-watt, 1KArri open-faced lights: 800-watt, 2KOur approach is generally to find out where the interview or interviews will be done, let the cameraman know and then see what the cameraman prefers.
