SCENE 01 / CAMERA EQUIPMENT RENTAL
Camera Equipment Rental
Professional cinema cameras, lenses, and support equipment for film and TV production in Austria.
Here is how this works in practice. Camera gear rental gives shoots with access to high-end cinema cameras, lenses, and accessories without the capital investment of ownership. Rental houses keep and service pro gear, making sure shoots receive calibrated, reliable gear ready for demanding shooting schedules.
Here is the short of it. We help camera gear rentals from vetted local suppliers, negotiating competitive rates and managing delivery logistics. Our team sets up prep days, cross-rentals, and gear returns so your camera department can focus fully on the creative work at hand.

On Location
Camera equipment rental for Austrian productions is centred on Vienna's rental houses, with large-format and specialty cinema kit routinely fly-in from Munich, ARRI's home city.
Here is how this works in practice. We supply camera packages for shoots across Austria, from digital cinema bodies and broadcast camera kits to complete camera-department kits with lenses, support and extras. Vienna is the centre of Austria's gear-rental market. Our team sources core packages from set up Vienna rental houses alongside studio infrastructure including Rosenhügel Filmstudios, one of Europe's oldest, and Filmstadt Wien.
Here is how the picture comes together. Austria's rental footprint is mid-sized, so specialty cinema kit — large-format cameras, high-speed bodies and remote heads — is routinely fly-in from Munich, ARRI's home city and a four-hour drive away, moving freely as Austria is in the EU single market and Schengen.
Our team scopes the package around your formats and delivers it tested, configured and ready, with a camera crew familiar with Austrian sets.
Here is the short of it. Austria's Central-European four-season climate shapes how camera gear is run on location: cold alpine winters with a December-to-March ski season mean high-altitude snow shooting in Tyrol, Salzburg, Carinthia and Vorarlberg, where our team plans cold-weather battery running, condensation control when bodies move between temperatures, and weather protection against the Föhn warm dry alpine wind.
Here is the breakdown. High-altitude work along the Grossglockner High Alpine Road and around Sölden in the Ötztal — where James Bond Spectre staged its alpine shoot — calls for careful gear logistics at altitude. Non-EU shoots importing camera kit clear ATA Carnets through Zollamt Österreich, with Vienna Global Airport the main air-cargo gateway and Munich and Zurich airports also feeding shoots by road. Intra-EU gear moves freely with no carnet.
Camera gear carries EU-standard insurance cover. Camera spend qualifies as Austrian spend under the ÖFI+ and FISA+ 30% rebates.
