Specialty Camera Rigs

Here is how this works in practice. We supply specialty rigs for shoots across Austria. This includes camera cars, process and tow trailers, low-loaders, insert cars, crane and arm cars and tracking rigs for driving and action sequences. Specialty rig inventory is mid-sized in Austria, so our team sources core units through Vienna-based suppliers, the centre of Austria's production market, and routinely fly-in or trucks pro rigs from Munich, ARRI's home city and a four-hour drive away, moving freely as Austria is in the EU single market and Schengen.

Here is the breakdown. We scope the rig package around the sequence — a process trailer for controlled dialogue driving, a low-loader for highway work, or an arm car for action across the Wachau Danube valley — and deliver it with qualified rigging crew and precision drivers familiar with Austrian roads.

Here is the short of it. Specialty rig work in Austria is shaped by the country's alpine terrain and climate: driving sequences on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, the ways to Sölden in the Ötztal — where James Bond Spectre staged its alpine action — and mountain passes in Tyrol demand careful routing, road-closure planning with local authorities and seasonal awareness during the December-to-March ski season.

Here is the breakdown. Cold-weather operation calls for winter tyres, snow chains and condensation control for car-mounted camera and grip kit, all planned by our team. Non-EU shoots importing pro rigs or rig-mounted kit clear ATA Carnets through Zollamt Österreich, with Vienna Global Airport the main air-cargo gateway and Munich and Zurich feeding shoots by road. Intra-EU transport moves freely with no carnet.

Specialty rigs and crew carry EU-standard insurance cover. Qualifying spend counts as Austrian spend under the ÖFI+ and FISA+ 30% rebates.
