Professional cinema cameras, lenses, and support equipment for film and TV production in Turkey.

Scroll

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

Istanbul's camera-rental houses hold deep cinema inventory built and sustained by Turkey's enormous 'dizi' television-drama industry, serving features across the Bosphorus, Cappadocia and the Antalya coast.

Here is how the picture comes together. We source camera packages. ARRI Alexa, RED, Sony Venice and Blackmagic bodies with matching media, batteries and extras — from Istanbul rental houses, the backbone of a mature market built by the sheer volume of episodic 'dizi' production. Because Turkey is the world's second-largest exporter of TV series after the United States, local rental houses carry deep, today's cinema inventory and a large pool of skilled camera crews, with further resources in Ankara, Izmir and Antalya.

Here is what we have to work with. Our team scopes the package against your shooting format, lens choices and shoot schedule, then delivers tested, prepped kit with redundancy on key bodies. For shoots moving between Istanbul stages and distant locations such as Pamukkale or the Turquoise Coast, we plan camera-truck logistics and on-location prep. The favourable Turkish lira and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism cash rebates of up to 30% — under which camera hire from Turkish vendors qualifies — keep package costs well below comparable European markets.

Here is the layout. Camera kit imported for a production clears Turkish Customs under ATA Carnets and short-term-admission procedures, routed through Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gokcen (SAW), with Antalya (AYT) serving southern-coast shoots and overland entry from Europe ready given Turkey's position straddling two continents. We prepare carnet schedules covering bodies, lenses, media and extras so kit clears without delay. Climate drives gear handling: the Antalya coast brings hot, dry, dusty Mediterranean summers that demand sealed kit and rain-cover discipline against grit, while Cappadocia and the interior turn cold and snowy in winter, needing cold-weather battery running and condensation control when gear moves between temperatures. The Black Sea coast runs wetter. Our team factors these conditions into prep and supplies protective covers and climate-rated cases as the shoot needs. Mains power is 230V/50Hz, and 20% VAT (KDV) applies to local hire.
