SCENE 01 / CAMERA SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Camera Support Systems
Professional camera support equipment for your Turkish production.
Here is how this works in practice. Camera support systems have tripods, fluid heads, sliders, jibs, dollies, and stabilization rigs that enable smooth, controlled camera movement. The right support gear is key for achieving the visual language a director and cinematographer envision for each scene.
Here is the short of it. We source camera support systems ranging from lightweight travel kits to heavy-duty studio dollies and crane systems. Our team sets up with local grip and camera rental houses to make sure compatible, well-kept support gear arrives on set tested and ready for your specific camera package.

On Location
Camera-support kit in Turkey — tripods, fluid heads, dollies, sliders, gimbals and Steadicam rigs — comes from Istanbul's deep rental base, built by the country's enormous 'dizi' television-drama industry.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. We source camera-support systems — heavy and lightweight tripods, fluid heads, dollies and track, sliders, jib arms, gimbals and Steadicam rigs — from Istanbul rental houses, where the sheer volume of episodic 'dizi' production sustains deep inventory and a skilled pool of dolly grips and Steadicam operators. Because Turkey is the world's second-largest exporter of TV series after the United States, support gear is plentiful, today's and competitively priced, with the favourable Turkish lira keeping hire costs well below comparable European markets.
Here is how the picture comes together. Our team scopes the support package against your camera weight, lens package and planned moves, then delivers tested kit with the rigging hardware to mount it. For shoots moving between Istanbul stages and exteriors across Cappadocia. The Turquoise Coast, we plan track-and-dolly logistics and supply spare heads. Support-gear hire from Turkish vendors counts as qualifying spend under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism cash rebates of up to 30%.
Here is what we have to work with. Camera-support hardware 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 so heads, dollies, track and rigs clear without delay. Climate and terrain drive gear choice: dusty Mediterranean summers on the Antalya coast call for sealed fluid heads and careful track cleaning, while cold, snowy continental winters in Cappadocia and the interior demand cold-rated grease and stable footing on uneven or frozen ground. The Black Sea coast runs wetter. Our team factors terrain and weather into the support plan and supplies levelling and stabilising hardware as locations need. Mains power is 230V/50Hz, and 20% VAT (KDV) applies to local hire.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What tripod heads do you recommend?
Here is the breakdown. For cinema cameras, we recommend O'Connor 2575 or Sachtler Video 25 for their smooth movement and reliability. For lighter setups, the Sachtler FSB series gives great performance. We match head capacity to your camera and lens package.
Can you provide dolly with track?
Yes, we supply complete dolly packages including dolly, track (straight and curved), and all needed accessories. We give many track systems to suit different floor conditions and shot needs.
Do you provide operators with equipment?
Yes, we can give skilled dolly grips, Steadicam operators, and crane technicians with the gear. Having skilled operators makes sure you get the most from specialized support gear.
What about remote heads?
We give remote heads including Scorpio and Mōvi Pro for crane and car work. Remote heads enable precise camera control during complex movements where direct operation isn't possible.
Can you handle heavy camera packages?
Yes, our support systems accommodate cinema cameras from RED and ARRI with full accessories, cine lenses, and wireless follow focus. We make sure proper head and tripod capacity for your complete camera build.
What stabilization options are available?
We give full Steadicam systems for traditional operator work, gimbal systems like Ronin and MōVI for electronic stabilization, and Easyrig support for handheld shooting comfort.
