The rental inventory includes the complete line of Nettmann Remote Hot Heads (formerly Matthews Studio Electronics), Kenworthy Nettmann Snorkel Systems and the new Nettmann line of Gyro-Stabilized Remote Heads and Aerial and Ground Based Cinematography Systems.
The Rental Department is on call 24 hours a day should a problem arise. We are known industry wide for catering to the hectic needs of the production schedule.
Every piece of equipment that is sent out to the set has been put through a variety of tests and quality assurances so that there is NO failure, and upon return is thoroughly cleaned and inspected. Our equipment is well known in the industry to be "bullet proof" and has replaced competitors' failed systems too many times to mention.
Our factory trained technicians are members of I.A.T.S.E Local 600 and are fully equipped to deal with any production needs while on set.
Give our Rental Department a call. We would love to come down to your production office or onto set with some product information, T-shirts, and other great S.W.A.G.
