Equipment Planning Services

Here is how this works in practice. We plan and set up camera, lighting, grip, and pro gear for shoots shooting across Austria, matching kit lists to the demands of each location and schedule. Our team works with set up rental houses in Vienna and Salzburg, arranges transport between unit bases, and builds gear plans that account for Austria's different terrain, from controlled studio stages at Rosenhügel Filmstudios and Filmstadt Wien to remote Alpine positions reachable only by specific cars.

Here is the breakdown. For shoots importing gear from outside the EU, we set up ATA Carnet records cleared through Zollamt Österreich, the Austrian customs authority, so gear moves cleanly across the border. We also factor the 20% VAT position on rentals and purchases into the gear budget.

Here is the short of it. Austria's environment shapes gear decisions. Aerial work needs drone operations to be conducted under Austro Control, the civil aviation authority, within the EU EASA rules, with extra restrictions over urban Vienna and sensitive sites such as Schönbrunn and the Historic Centre. The four-season climate is a major planning factor: cold alpine winters. The December-to-March ski season demand cold-rated batteries, weather protection, and trusted rigging for high-altitude shoots in Tyrol, Salzburg, and Carinthia.

Here is the breakdown. While the dry Föhn wind can affect exterior setups. The country's skilled rental sector, supporting everything from ORF drama to global service shoots such as 'Spectre' in the Ötztal, gives shoots access to today's camera and lighting packages. We build gear plans that expect these conditions rather than finding them on the day.
