Camera Gear Rental in Israel for Documentary Productions
Highlight Films owns its own camera sets, grip gear and lighting, available to rent for documentary film production in Israel — which keeps production costs down without compromising quality.
What’s Available
Every HD and 4K format used internationally — RAW, HDCAM and XDCAM — on Sony, Canon and Panasonic camera bodies, plus RED Epic, ARRI and BlackMagic cameras up to 8K. Lighting, grip and support gear is available alongside the camera package, and 35mm and 16mm film cameras can also be sourced locally (Israel has no commercial film-processing labs, so film work needs to be planned in advance).
Documentary-Specific Kit
Alongside the standard camera package, documentary productions can rent shoulder-mount ENG rigs for run-and-gun coverage, small gimbals and stabilizers for handheld observational shots, and a full interview audio kit — boom, wireless lavalier mics and a portable mixer. Long-lens and prime sets are available for both observational and low-light work, and we can supply spare batteries, dual-card recording and rugged travel cases for productions moving between several cities or regions in the same trip.
For night and low-light filming — common on stories covering security operations, religious ritual or nightlife — we supply a set of fast prime lenses and compact, battery-powered LED lighting kits built for discretion on location.
All gear is maintained and serviced in-house between productions and insured for international shoots, and delivered with spare batteries, memory cards and adapters so a crew is never left waiting on a power or data issue mid-shoot. If a piece of kit needs to be swapped out mid-production, our Tel Aviv base can usually get a replacement to set the same day.
Delivered Where You’re Filming
Gear is based at our production studio in the center of Tel Aviv, with easy access to the Ayalon highway and the central train station, plus a second base in central Ramallah, and can be delivered to your set anywhere in Israel or the Palestinian Authority areas alongside a qualified crew if you need one.
