Now Renting Production Supplies along with Expendable Sales

At Rule Boston Camera we have always listened to the needs of our clients, and we take very seriously our role as being the center of production in New England.  As technology changes and the equipment needs of our clients evolves, so, too, does our equipment inventory.

In addition to the latest and greatest cameras, lenses and accessories, over the years we have been asked to supply the staples that are essential to production life: tables, chairs, pop-up tents, wardrobe racks, safety cones, etc.

These Production Supplies often take a back seat to our more glamorous rental items — but, try eating your lunch on top of an ARRI Mini or hanging the talent’s wardrobe from a MOVI Pro and this will help you realize just how essential these production items can be.

We are constantly on the lookout for equipment that satisfies the next level of production need, and with this in mind, we always welcome your requests. We can generally acquire what you need within a very short turnaround, just reach out to any of our rental agents with your requests.  In addition to rental items, Production Outfitters carries a large line of production expendables for purchase — from our very popular gel by the foot, to camera tape and spring clamps, we have most things to get your production started off right.

Nick’s Holiday Picks – The GoPro HERO 5

Each week through mid-December, I’ll pick a gift option for the technically-inclined on your holiday gift lists.

This week, my first pick is the GoPro HERO 5, available in our Production Outfitters expendables store.  The HERO 5 is the next exciting step for GoPro’s product line, and it comes with some great upgrades from the HERO 4 Black.

First and foremost, it’s waterproof without a housing (up to 33ft). With some new Video Stabilization and some RAW Photo capability the Hero 5 is starting to add some additional support to their already feature packed product line. GoPro is still the name of the game when it comes to action sports cameras and the HERO 5 continues that tradition.

Take a look on our giant “holiday candle” for next week’s pick.

Cold Weather Supplies!

This time of year we carry some great expendables to help you in the cold and snowy weather. Two main items are “Setwear Cold Weather Gloves” and “Bag It” all weather bags. The Setwear gloves are built to keep you warm with Thinsulate C40 lining and a seamless index finger design for sensitivity. They are padded for comfort, but form fitting to eliminate snagging. The Bag It bags cover a variety of studio equipment such as taco carts, studio lamps, camera dollies and makeup tables in bad weather, protecting them from slush and snow. They are made of strong 6mm plastic and are very versatile. It’s a cost effective way to protect your valuable equipment. Stop in to Production Outfitters to see for yourself!
